Dude, welcome to our brotherhood! One week is huge! We all have things in common here and that is we are addicts to the can. It pisses me off to hear of an adult giving tobacco products to minors. It flat out pisses me the fuck off. None-the-less, I'm glad you have quit. Stay on this site, stay active on this site, post roll daily, and this is your equation to success.
Well, 20 years ago, adults giving chewing tobacco to a 16, 17 or 18 year old was not really looked down upon. At least, in the rural South were I'm from. Can I blame an adult for getting me hooked on tobacco, maybe. But in reality the decision was all mine. Maybe I should blame my parents for not telling me to stay away from tobacco. Time to stop the blame game. It happened, and now it's time to move on.

Blahblah. Proud to be quitting with you in December ...thanks for sharing your story.
I couldn't have said it better regarding US Tobacco but I would more than happy to settle with my boy (4 yrs old) never seeing his dad dip again and never doing it himself.

Change a couple of numbers, a name, a situation....and you just summed up the life of most of us.

We are addicts. We are generally fucked up people. Our addictions made us liars, cheats, and thieves to our loved ones.

One day, for various reasons, we decided to finally take a stand.

We are the same. We are clean because of that. We are clean primarily...because of each other. Individually we are clean because collectively we are the same.

Yeah....we are the same you and LOOT. Strength in numbers friend.

Never again...for any reason.

Thanks for the reminder.

I was told to tell you guys my deal because maybe it will help some of you keep your quit together. I hope it helps all of you keep it together because I want U.S Tobacco to go broke.

I started chewing when I was 15. My baseball coach gave us some Happy Days raspberry laced with brandy. In retrospect, maybe he was a pedophile trying to lube up the young boys. Seems like a really fucked up thing for an adult to do. Anyway, while he didn't fuck me in the ass with his cock he totally fucked me up the ass with the dip. I chewed steadily until I was 20. When I moved to Los Angeles I felt kind of ashamed of my redneck habit so I quit cause I wanted to get quality poon. I managed almost a year before I got bored at a laundromat and went to the liquor store and got a dip. I stayed hooked for another 10 years. When I was 30 I quit again. I can't remember why, though? I probably had a big burst of self esteem and decided I was too awesome to die. Seems likely knowing myself at that age. I was pretty convinced my shit didn't stink.

Cut to me 3 years later being asked to catch a game of fast pitch softball for a team that was going to have to forfeit without me. I had not thought about dipping for a long time. No one I knew chewed anymore. I didn't notice it at the store. It wasn't advertised in anything I read or saw. It was completely gone. Funny, I remember the name of the guy who gave me the dip. Darryl Cias. I admired him because he made it to the show, however briefly, and if a real ball player (a catcher at that) was offering me a dip I wasn't turning it down. I wanted to fit in. Always wanted to be a baller. I thought dip made me better. What bullshit. What a fuck up follower I was. It wasn't Darryl's fault. It was mine.

For the last 14 years I have been a can a day Copenhagen addict. It's been a long long time since I suited up for a game of baseball or softball but the Copenhagen has been there. So fucking stupid. I just hope I haven't done any long term permanent damage. I am quit now for 1 week and I am quit now forever. I know that there is no such thing as "just one". If any of you think there is I am here to tell you YOU ARE WRONG! Don't ever let the demon Nic Whore in the door again. I could have been writing to you guys 17 years clean and instead I am telling you a fucked up story and feeling very guilty and ashamed.

I am one week clean. I am going to live the rest of my life this way and I hope the same for all of you.
