Quote from: GDubyaHi. I'm GW from North Central Texas. 48 years old. Started dipping in Elementary School. My first job as a kid was as a self-employed coke bottle recycler. Would gather and exchange bottles for Happy Days snuff at the corner convenience store. So. It's been a long time. Stopped dipping once about 20 years ago for a couple weeks.

I am a career fire fighter. And as such, I see lots of dead folks. Even dead folks that just aren't dead yet. But soon will be. Congestive heart failure. Coronary heart decease. Cancer. High blood pressure. My parents died from smoking. Cancer - Dad. Heart disease - Mom.

My wife is a teacher and we will retire about the same time. We have been making retirement plans. But. I'm still healthy but my otherwise great blood pressure has slowly been going up. So I know that heart disease wants to come live with me until I die. But. That can be changed and reversed now. With no meds. So. I want to live a healthy remainder of my life. And do all that my wife and I have planned.

Now is the time for my quit.

GW
1,000 days of winning! Of taking your life back! Of taking your health back. And of being a model citizen around here... The very definition of brotherhood  accountability.

GW, I hope you feel 10' tall today. You earned this.
That comma looks damn good.
Hell. Yes!!

This one makes my day in a big freaking way!! Congrats to you, brother! Helluva nice job!
Congrats G-dubs! 1,000 days of badassery couldn't be earned more. Appreciate all that you have done along the way.
Well done on 1,000. Congrats.

There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.
