It Was My Time

[markr]

Hey Now,

I just wanted to give an introduction of myself. Im 27 y/o male. Im a firefighter/paramedic. Ive been dipping skoal mint for about 10 years. I joined this site yesterday the actual day that i decided to quit. It was just time for me to do it. I want live, I want to have children, and see there children. I want a dip most of all though right now. I instead of sunflower seeds, candy and the Hooch mint I got in the mail last week. All they do is make me want a dip more. So its 2 days down and the rest of my life to go.

Hang in there I was a vol Firefighter for 25 yrs and a EMT for 15 dipp'n in the fire service is like breath'n air. You can win this battle these guys are behind you just remember we all are going through or have been through what your feeling so we know it sucks. I just gave it all up cold turkey no fake stuff just gum. To be honest I was pretty sick the fisrt 3-4 days but it got better the craves are still there.

Yessir, you do have the rest of your life to go now that you've quit. Great decision! Your 2/3 through the roughest part of the physical withdrawals. Keep it up. Don't worry about "the rest of your life" until it comes. Just focus on today, this hour, or the next 3 minutes. You can stay quit for 3 minutes can't you? Well that will get you past most craves since the typical crave only lasts 3 minutes. Go into chat when you're getting ancy for a dip, and get up on the July 09 roll call. I'm on day 99 of my quit--HOF tomorrow! I can tell you that I never expected to be here 100 days ago. But by the grace of God and a lot of help from this site, I'm here and life couldn't be better. So keep quit and see those babies in your future.

Glad to have ya!!!
