Well for starters. I am a 33 year old father of 5 children. Husband to a saint of wife. I started dipping when I was in 7th grade. 1st dip Skoal Cherry at the old Middle School Dance, never got so fucking sick in my life. This halted my decision on every chewing Skoal Cherry again. Funny how that works, it's the brand not the chew excuse. I've been a dipper ever since. Kodiak to good ole worm dirt Copenhagen. Wake up dip in go to bed maybe I took it out. Fell asleep with a lot of dips in. Anyways I also have 3.5 years of sobriety from Alcohol, I've been able to kick that habit. As then I chose I didn't want my 3 sons (4 now and 1 daughter) to grow up with an alcoholic father. I used the excuse and mind-fucking of myself after that, that I need to have 1 vice, I have the right to chew seeing I don't drink or do drugs anymore. Same lame ass delusions I used when drinking. I've tried to quit dipping many times, always seem to go back realizing now I never had a support group to help me with that. This place hopefully will give me that edge. It came down to this time not my 4 boys, but look at my youngest kid my daughter and wanting to live. Wanting to be able to walk her down the Aisle when I'm sixty. (any early I may have to hurt someone lol). I'm not quitting for her, I'm quitting for me. So that I can enjoy those moments later in life with my grandchildren, my kids, and my wife. And not be hooked up to some machine pumping windex into my veins to kill cancer. See that first hand with my dad at age 53 throat cancer survivor. Mom breast cancer survivor. I don't want to be a esphogeal/stomach cancer victim. I need your guys help through this journey. And am Grateful today that I found KTC. I know how to live One Day At A Time, I hope that I can do it Killing The Can as well.
