I have been dipping since I was 14. I am now 32. I quit dipping 3 days after my son was born, that was almost 9 years ago. I started back on the can after a harmless pinch from my boss 9 months later. I haven't been able to lay it down until 10 days ago. It is difficult but feels great!!!!! I know now the errors of my first experience quitting. Don't get one. Don't bum one. Don't even think you can lay it down.
