Hey Y'all. I was a former dipper of 9 months and am currently one week and a half quit cold turkey. I grew up in Harford County, Maryland and my first introduction to dip was through football. A bunch of guys on the team dipped. I thought it was nasty. The spring of my senior year, I turned 18 and I guess I wanted to be a little rebellious. I started dipping. The first time was the day after my birthday. I almost puked and threw that can out. It should have been my last can ever. Later during March, my friend and I were bored and decided to buy a can of Skoal Peach. I dipped that can over the course of the next two weeks. I then advanced up to copenhagen and finally to Grizzly. I was a Grizz green and Cope snuff dipper for most of my time. At my peak, I dipped a can every 4 days, but most of my time, I was a can a week guy. I spent way too much money on dip and pissed my parents off the whole time. What really made me want to quit was fear of health. I am a super health minded guy and when I heard that my best friend's uncle developed esophagus cancer from dip, I freaked out. Every time I dipped, I felt anxious about my health. Despite my addiction, I made it so I could not enjoy dip period and that I had no choice but to quit, which was very beneficial. The first three days were hell, but I've actually not really had any cravings since then. I'm had longings, but nothing near needing a dip. I joined mostly so I have no choice on relapsing. Turning back to dip is just simply not an option.I'm not even 19 and I have my whole life in front of me. Fuck the Nic Bitch.
