Quit Smoking/Chewing - Thread #2

[HughA44s]

Well the time has come to attack this problem again. I participated in the first thread and was successful for a month - and then life got very complicated for me and I lost concentration. I realize this is a BS rationalization but as I learned from the first attempt, the concentration thing is very important for me. As in the first thread, I am looking for a group approach and accountability in this effort and I hope to have some of you join me - I know there are a few of you out there.
Why now and why am I trying again? In September, I will be retiring from the Air Force after 22 years, 6 months, and 15 days. I have just completed a intense period of job interviewing and landed a job that was beyond my best case scenerio - I have basically doubled my income and get to work in a field I love. I have 2 wonderful children ages 9 and 12. In short, after all this work it would be rather stupid of me to continue with this addiction, or rather continue feeding this addiction and cut my life short or cripple myself. I am in wonderful health and and wish to remain so. I know I have a disposition to addictive behavior so there is work ahead. In short any takers? I will try and lead the way but need help.
