Thanks man - I appreciate it. I'll be adding you to my buddies! I was a Skoal guy for the last 3 years - why I picked this up at age 39-40 really eats at me. I was only a very casual dipper in high school and college. Meaning I would dip when visiting my cousins out of state who dipped, and in college would bum dips on occasion from others. Wasn't really even a buyer back then. For some reason a few years ago someone ahead of me in line at a store one night bought a can, and I must have wanted to capture some nostalgia or something and bought a can. Initially a can would sit at work for weeks or even a month and not even get finished. That all eventually went away and got up to 1-2 cans a week. I realized I wasn't a casual dipper anymore and started looking into quitting about a few months ago. This site was found after searching for "fake dip". That was my gameplan, but couldn't find it anywhere around here. So decided to ween myself off instead. But coming back here I realized the answer was to just quit! I went on a no weekend dipping plan for a few weeks, and then realized it was stupid to not just keep going, and threw my last can out the window Friday morning and haven't looked back. Biggest step since then was obviously making it through work that first night, and then finally joining here on Tuesday morning. Weird thing is there was only one flavor I could even tolerate (Skoal Long Cut Citrus), all the rest were absolutely nasty to me. But if I waited for Skoal to quit making that flavor, i would've been in trouble!! :)
