Hello guys and gals. I am a 25 year old male who had his first dip on my 18th birthday (November 29th 2007.) Many of my close friends had been exposed to dip since they were baseball players, so once I turned 18 I decided to buy, and try my first dip: Skoal Vanilla. I was immediately hooked. I think I began dipping around 3 times a week. That soon turned to 5-7 times a week. The drawer in my bathroom at my parents house was filled with empty dip cans.
Since then I have dipped about once a day, sometimes two, but no more than 4. When I drink I binge on dip, basically constantly having one in. I was always the loser at the college parties or bars who had a nasty dip in. It was embarrassing, and turned some girls off, but that wasn't enough motivation to quit.
I was always self conscious about my breath, so I always brush my teeth, or atleast chew some gum, after throwing out a dip.
With all that being said, I will explain the title. I have recently landed a great job, I workout daily and my diet it on point. I brush my teeth 2-3 times a day, floss and take other measures to help with dental health. I am absolutely killing it at life right now! Everything is perfect... Except I still dip.
November marked 7 years of dipping and now it is time to stop!
I quit cold turkey about 3 years ago for 3 months before relapsing, so I will be doing this without the help of any nicotine, or fake chew.
