So, I'm a writer/producer. You're prototypical creative type from Northern New Jersey/New York City.
The fact is, throwing in a plug of (usually Peach) was a big part of my life. It was a part of getting the creative juices flowing....and then spitting them into a poland spring bottle...or a can, or sometimes if I was lazy...well let's not go there.
I did the 'fruity' stuff because I read somewhere that what I had done for the first few years(wintergreen kodiak) was alot worse...so staying 'fruity' was a way to convince myself what I was doing was not as bad as smoking. Which is the whole reason I started dipping in the first place over5 years ago.. I wanted to be able to work out, and lose weight and not smoke alot,so I didn't smell... and get alot of 'girls'. Honestly, I had put some weight on...alot of weight...actually. And as a former athlete, noticed my pussy quotient dropping more and more, and could only attribute this to the fact that I was now a certifiable slob.
I digress, sorry...the fruity shit ended up being worse, I should have just done the straight cop(which I would let myself get on special occasions like my birthday, christmas, ect.) Because I shit you not...just to get the right amount of plug, my pinches were like a quarter of a tin. If I was drunk, I swear to god on more then one occasions I got like 3/4ths of a tin in my mouth.
I did lose the weight, I did get my tail numbers back up...but everyone of them thought the shit was disgusting...ask my ex about the time she drunkenly drank out a spitter that was on the side of my bed. Don't get me wrong, that bitch deserved it...but still....
so, here's to trying day 3...Not many 'dippers' in my neck of the woods, at least not openly...actually don't know anyone else who has actually quit doing it. Hopefully I can get though here. Chewing straws has helped immensely. The whole reason this started was to save money....now I am beginning to see what kind of a hold 'the can' really had on me.
