I feel giving up dip is like letting a good friend go. I can't picture my life with out it. Do these feelings fad after time?
I know what you mean, and yes it does get better, but try this analogy, I think it works better.
Dip is more like that crazy ass ex-girlfriend you had sometime back in your early 20's. Yes, she may have had a smoking body, and was a freak in bed, but she was also a freak in all other aspects of life. She was jealous of friends, jumped your ass over nothing, and then, when you tried to get rid of her, she tried to kill you. You said you left for good, then a pregnancy scare came along, and all of a sudden you terrified that you would be tied to the bitch for life.
This is the nic bitch. She tricks you with the buzz, but she's really trying to kill you. Sure, you want a taste, but it fades with time. Sometimes, especially when drinking, you may want to climb back into her arms, but just know, even with what you think will only be a one stand stand, she'll be back in your life for longer, trying to kill you all over again. Worse still, she could impregnate you......with carcinogenic cells......and cancer will be with you for life......and death.
Best bet, stay away. You'll move on and find out how great life is without her.
