Today is my 50th birthday, and it will be my first day in 35 years without dip. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a new and healthier chapter in my life. It's sure been a long road to get to this point......Back in the 1970's, we had our sports heroes like Walt Garrison, Earl Campbell and Carlton Fisk singing the praises of "smokeless" tobacco in 30 second advertisements. They promised that "just a pinch between your cheek and gum, will give you full tobacco pleasure." What they failed to tell us was that we would become slaves to that pinch, that we would jump in our car at any time of the day or night if we ran out, that we would waste thousands of dollars yearly without hesitation, that we lose teeth for our dip, that we would lie to our own mothers to keep doing it....What I refuse to do is to die for this shit, so I sort of feel as though it is now or never.

I've been awake this morning for roughly one hour and my addiction is telling me to go ahead and put this off one more day. But no, For now I will resist that temptation. I sure hope that I can make it through today.....wish me luck ????
