Little about myself, I'll keep it short:
Father was career military, went to high school and college in Wyoming, joined the Wyoming Army National Guard, and that's where the dipping started.
Was able to aviod the dip through high school, but being around 90% of my army buddies dipping did me in. Started on some loose leaf, like Levi Garrett or Red Man, then to Skol, then on to the Cope. Got up ot almost a can a day at my worst.
After college went into the active duty army, now married with a 3 year old and one more on the way, been dipping for about 10 years, tried to stop a few times on my own unsucessful because the wife wanted me to, always led to some big fights. Doing this for me now, not for anyone else.
Oh, and if you don't get a timely response from me, I'm stationed overseas, so the time difference is there from me to most of you I am sure.
