It's been just 2 weeks and I thought that I would write my introduction, cause frankly I didn't think that I would ever make it this far. I am approaching 41 and been dipping Skoal for 18 years. I don't even really know how I got started except it was in college and the veteran football players dipped and i took a liking to it. I was not into drinking alcohol therefore I liked the dip.
I tried to quit over the years especially with my first marriage because she didn't like it. I would hide it from her as best as I could. My current marriage is a different story because she doesn't care if I do it. The freedom to dip where and when ever I wanted never gave me any reason to quit.
So why am I quitting now? I found myself dipping more,spending more money and enjoying less. i use to think that dipping was keeping the weight off, but now i am heavier than ever before, have high blood pressure and take anxiety medicine. I want to quit nicotine then start on my weight loss.
KTC has been amazing for me the past two weeks. When I signed up it took me over 2 weeks to get the courage to just post my first roll call. I read everything I could when I joined and tried to talk myself into posting roll that first time. I made some comments in the General Discussion and it wasn't any time at all that I was getting PM's and comments of encouragement that I can do this. I had a full can going into the weekend and I made the decision to flush that shit. I knew if i threw it away I would dig through the trash can if I had too.

Awesome.
True evidence that this place works. Great decision to flush your can and mand up, YB. Like you, I have dumpster dived many, many times in my life.
I too, finally got to the point where I was just tired of dipping, and not getting any enjoyment out of it.
Glad you are here, and you have embraced KTC full throttle. This place, and the people here will absolutely help you save your life.
And btw, I'll bet if your wife had her 'druthers, she'd rather have you dip free. She may say she doesn't care.....but....
