Hello all,
Knockout here (Jesse), 25 years old. Been dipping on and off (mostly heavily on, 2-3 cans a week) for the past 7 years. Routine has been my vice (shower/long commute to school and work/while I'm winding down for bed). Longest hiatus was 8 months, then succumbed to the urge on a road trip with a friend that dips.
Why am I here?: I'm sick of harming my body and being deceived with petty justifications. I'm afraid of where my addiction will have taken me many years from now if I don't confront it. Most of all I'm sick of being a slave to dip, consciously knowing it's power over me and my decisions and letting it own me.
Found this site months ago but passed it over, tried patches, quitting on my own instead, but I gave in. I want to be free of it, once and for all, and I hope the structure and community here will be the aid I need to stay quit.
Trashed my can and all traces from the house. Last dip was 4 hours ago (not long, I know), but I'm here and I'm ready.
