Hey! Pretty new here, and I thought I'd post an intro and meet some people.
Started dipping in 1987 at 14 when my friends and I would bike to a c-store with a "note from dad" to sell us some chew. Can't believe it sometimes worked.
Got into it for real in 1989 and got worse and worse until I quit while I was in the Marines in 1999. Had a bet with some of my brother Marines. Won it.
Like an idiot, I started again in 2004 while working construction. Worked myself up to a can/day; now, I'm gutting Grizzly LC Wintergreen while I teach HS English and coach Football. Terrible.
I've got three young kids now: daughter 7, son 4, daughter 3. Ready to quit, but dreading the quit. I set a target date a few weeks ago: start of the school year and start of FB season, August 11.
I know I'll need help from God, family, and the amazing folks at this site. Can't say how glad I am to have found it.
