My Introduction

[AppleJack]

Hi. 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.

Glad to have you here Mr. President.

It's time to quit, you know it and I know it. This site will help. These people will help. The only way to quit is to quit. You can do it.

So, are you quit right now, or are you sucking on a cat turd as you read this?

Go to the Welcome Center (top left) and read everything you can. Figure out what we do and why we do it. Then buckle your seatbelt and get to quitting. Your November 13 quit group will be thrilled to have you. Get to know them. A support group only works if you get connected and allow people to support you.

I'm pumped up for you to be quit and to enjoy the clean life.
