Hello, out there,
I started at age 6, was tied back down on a Merry go round with the belts of the older kids. They put a chew of Copenhagen in my mouth and spun the Merry go Round. Was a very odd experience. Why would I then go buy a can of Copenhagen that cost me .11 cents by the way and put some in my lip to feel that rush? All the kids in town did it also.
Some of the kids would get a brand called "Happy Days" Happy Days came in Mint and Raspberry flavors. I guess it was the Market to Kids Brand.
Well I was so hooked by age 7 that when we traveled and I couldn't get a can I would take a cigarette from my Dad's pack and take the tobacco out and put it in my lip so I wouldn't feel so bad.
I wonder if anyone remembers .11 cents a can?
Been a slave to this for more years than most of you been alive. When I say slave I do mean absolute slave.
The Last time I tried to quit and first time , I went 3 days and I thought I had done the previously impossible, then got in my pick-up to go to town and no sooner did I go about a 100 yards and my Heart Started to Beat Out of my chest, Well if I said I was scared and bewildered that would be a mild description of what happened out of the blue at 3 and half days quit. There was a can of bandits that My Dad had left in the truck from a year earlier, don't know why or how I tore that paper off of that little bag and immediately as I put that brown stale powder in my lip the Fast Heart Beat Stopped.
Well never tried to quit again til now.
Well I want free.
