Is wanting to shoot the progressive commercial "discount" girl a side effect of quitting or is she really just that annoying?
My names jason
To start their is a need for me to go ahead and apologize for all spelling/grammar/stupidity errors that I shall make in my stay at this wonderful website.
I am fairly brash person, up until about 9 hours ago (est) I would of spit on your boots just to amuse myself and because you looked at me funny when I took my grizzly out. At the moment I will spit some concoction of kudzu and tabasco sauce just because your near me.
Unlike many "dippers" my story started out when I was 21. Not because I wanted to be cool or fit in. I did it to breath. If I had of been in better shape the large rat turds would of never met my lip. If I had of just puked my guts out in a corner the fiberglass would of never cut my lip.
To better explain I am a firefighter. My first fire was May 23 2001. That was the day I was introduced to cough and gag'n. My first structure fire kicked my ass, 10 mins in and my ass was already dragging, luckily I had already sucked the bottom out of my air tank, (this is a 30 min tank, and its still 10 mins in) and had to head out.
As I exit and rip my mask off the full force of everything finally hits me and breathing gets more then just a tad bit labored. The seasoned vet paired with me glances over and to this day I swear he said something magical as he tossed me that cope can. 20 seconds after that stuff hit my gums I could breath perfectly again.
For a year or two I only dipped after fires or wrecks. I told myself that was how it would stay. I lied. A few more years of just a half can a day. Again I lied. One can a day. I lied. I tried the patches, I told myself i could have one dip a day for a week. Lies. I started dipping two cans a day. My lip stayed full.
Until today.
Today I quit.

I never realized dip could help you breathe since it's been choking me for years.
I'm only a few days ahead of you in my quit. Stay strong. Roll call helps.
Get through the craving of the first few days and... Stay quit!
