hello,
my name is rob and I've been dipping a little over a can a day now for about 3 years (started when i was 14).. my decision to start dipping is hard to explain, but i guess it had allot to do with peer pressure and the fact that my father is also a dipper. He started smoking when he was 12, then quit when my sister was born 20 years ago and has been dipping ever since. For as long as i can remember, I've always wanted to be just like my father and to mimic every action he does. He's been my hero; however, I never would have guessed that i would have also picked up his bad habits as well, being the ignorant teen i am.. When i was a freshman (14 years old) sure enough i found me and my buddies crackin open our first can, and as much as they tried to act like they liked it, they couldn't. But i did. I was consumed and in awe of the feeling that all i needed was just a pinch and all my problems would seemingly disappear. This went on for the next couple of year until i decided to quit. about 2 or 3 months ago, I went 30 days quit without really any problems, but towards the end i completely lost motivation and felt like i was trying to be someone that i wasn't supposed to be. I have come to this website now in hope of insightful advice and support to put this nasty shit down once and for all and to be a better friend to my friends and son to my parents. and I'm currently just over 24 hours into my final quit!
