Well, as I look around the site, I see that alot of people are introducing themselves to each other. Makes sense since these will be the people helping my along through this process, so here goes.
My name is Jeff, and I am addicted to nicotine. I have dipped at least a can a day for 13 years now, and I have finally decided that it is time to stop. I have never been one to deal with failure very well, so my previous quit attempts were half assed at best. This time is different though. As I watch my 8 year old step son spitting everywhere because he thinks its cool, I realize that I am already well on the way to harming him. Now I must work to reverse the damage I have done to him, which means that I have to start with myself. I have decided to quit, and today was the first day of my quit! I made it, albeit with a whole pack of gum and a roll of life savers, but better than giving in to the NIC bitch, as I have seen referenced here more times than I can count. Bring it on, cause Im finally ready to beat this shit!
