I started dipping in High School because it gave me a buzz. Once the buzz wore off I was just plain addicted. Fast Forward 11 years and I have had one failed quit and spent an ass load of money on Copenhagen Pouches and longcut.
My Failed Quit--
I quit about a year ago. Then let myself slowly slump back into the routine with bad decisions. I think I made it about 7 months. I felt great. When I started to dip again I always told myself oh its just 1. I would never buy it, just bum it off a friend. Then I started to buy it. I thought if I bought stuff I didn't really like then I wouldn't do it as much. Finally, I stopped by the store and purchased Copenhagen Pouches. I did this all under the guise of "oh its hunting season." I quickly became addicted. I know my "quit" before was not a true quit. It was just an excuse and a pause. This time ladies and gentleman, is for real.
I am currently on Day 2 and couldn't sleep at all last night. However, I feel new and revived. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I was always concerned that I would get cancer and now I know I am doing everything in my power to not be another statistic. I have no kids, no wife. This quit is for me. I also would like to express my sincere thanks for this community and the support it have provided me so far. I will stay quit with all of you.
