From Carrollton TX, borders north Dallas. 31 yrs old, two boys, 10 and 3. Married 10 years.

First dip was in Art class in high school. Being on the football team I got away with it. Good times. It wasn't consistent but I loved that shit.

Didn't hit it again until after my party days and my wife becoming pregnant with our first. I was 21 and quit smoking. I smoked maybe a pack every couple days so it wasn't a big deal. I eventually wanted the buzz so went to dipping because I could get away with it. That is where the daily started. Every fucking day starting first thing for years. Then I started traveling about 6 years ago and it became a nightly thing. Problem is when I got home it was swapping pinches every hour in the evening. I at least had decentsy to try not in dip to much in front of my oldest. Anyways its habit now, can't get away from at least a pinch a night.

Wife doesn't give me as much shit as my 10 year old. He's a good kid and that's my main reason. Hell, he was the reason why I got my shit straight 11 years ago and now have a career with a job i've been at for 10 years.

I just went to the dentist a couple weeks ago and they noticed a little gum loss. It wasn't anything that would cause a panic but that really made me understand i've pushed my luck far enough.

Then I decided I had to find a way to quit. I had no idea how. I tried a couple times but casually figured, fuck it its just a pinch. Moved on with the next day. That's not quitting, its being a front wiper and not taking it seriously.

Yesterday I google'd, how to quit dipping, saw this site and said the first of the month is the best way to start.

My last pinch was last night after drinking with some coworkers.

I'm not fucking around with this shit, it's ammo to become a real man and an example for my boys.

Time to man tha fuck up!!
