Thanks for the welcomes guys! I flushed the two cans I had down the latrine (my problem is I would have one right after I wake up) and won't be buying more.
If we quit first thing in the day, I should probably post in the AM right?
About me.. Well I'm 23 and from Pennsylvania. As far as profession I'm a bit of a few things (welder, electrician, etc.)
Started dipping when I was 16. You know, rough and rebellious teen. "I won't get hooked." Got to the point where if I wasn't eating, sleeping, or brushing my teeth I had a lip in.
As far as why I'm quitting.. I'm tired of dip stains on my clothes and teeth, sore gums, and dumping out nasty ass spitters.
Also gonna need to get my wisdoms out soon. I figure I'll already be in hell for that. Might as well get the mountain of this out of the way and just have a mole hill.
Out of everything though, excluding the health risks, I'm most tired of spending the money on the stuff. I was a Copenhagen Snuff dipper for 90% of my dipping "career." At around $4 per can, a can a day, for 7 years.. That's well over $10,000.. I'm big into firearms and it's depressing to think how many boom sticks I could have had haha.
So all that being said, I know it's gonna be rough. (quit once before) But if you guys will have me, I'm in it for the long haul.
