Hey guys!
I'm done with the dipping. I can't stand sneaking in 30 minutes to an hour here and there so I can deplete my gums further in hopes of some short-term relief.
I'm a 32 year old returned student, working on a second bachelor's and then master's. I dipped in every possible period of time where I could get alone and relax.
I have dipped since I was 16 and have been on and off again with brand, consistency, and quantity, but the last 3 years have been around 1 can a day of Copehagen long-cut. I really thought I was a badass doing that stuff, and I became a slave to it.
I am sober almost 5 years and this dip has been one of the things I have tried to hang on to.
Well fuck that. I don't want any part of it.
I am scared about how my brain is going to function over the next few weeks as I have some tests, but I have to quit and I can't wait till summer. Who knows what excuse I'd come up with come May? Many.
Anyway, I look forward to this and to the fellowship of being surrounded by quitters. Thank you for building this community folks.
