Man I tell you what, I have been in the Army for almost 20 years now and dippin for at least 25 or 26. My story started in 5th grade with a pack of Conwood chew. I progressed to Gold River because in junior high, dip was ii, chew was for old people. I got a bug up my ass for Hawkin and eventually I was hooked on Skoal like the big kids. Moved to North Georgia and my older step-brother was a Cope man. Didn't take long to fall in love with that stuff, someone is always out and once your on the Cope, nothing else will do. That was 23 years ago and I was already emptying a can day without any help from my brother. A few weeks ago I just decided I was done with this shit. My son is 9 and had been asking a lot of questions. He probably wont be as big a redneck as his daddy but that boy has potential. I would hate to see him start. I gotta set a better example I think. So I call the local AirForce base here in Tampa, FL and they have a program for smokers to quit. Hell, why not, couldnt hurt. So I registered and went through the classes. They put my on this stuff called Chantix, normally for smokers, and after the second week I threw my can away. Look guys, it is not that fuckin easy, I still want to dip, hell, that is how I found ya'll. I got the Hooch on order and found a cigar shop here that sales Smokey Mountain Classic. Cant handle that wintergreen crap. Talk about irony, I have to goto a tobacco shop to help me quit tobacco. Long story short, there is just not that much attention out there on quiting smokless tobacco like there is with smoking. Even sitting here on the back end of day 8, I am hurting bad. You guys will probably get tired of hearing my shit. I just wanted to thank ya'll for taking the time to be here and support us. Hopefully one day I can return the favor.
