Addiction Details: Dipped since football season, sophomore year. Previous quit was 30 days max in 2003. Rubbed pretty much anything. Most recently, I was hooked on stoker's long cut natural tubs. I've drank out of the wrong Coke bottle more times than I can remember and have seen my last dip stain on the pillow. My daughter is four and already calls it yuckies. Time to quit.

Married: married a texas cowgirl 15 years ago, 13 year-old son, 10 year-old daughter. I venture to say there is no more happily married man in America than I am.
Addiction Details: Started dipping at age 28 (what a moron). Dipped on and off for 23 years. A handful of very long quits mixed in there, repeatedly fell for the "just this one time" lie. Not really worried about the health issue of it, more so my self-esteem, not hiding from my family, just being a pansy controlled by a can of dried leaves, living a lie

Addiction Details: Started dipping kodiak "the bear" and smoking cigarettes in high school because it was cool. Switched to cope long after a while and stayed with both thru college...smoked when i drank and chewed every other minute of every day. Quit both with the help of the patch a few years out of school...made it 2 years until smoking a cigarette and before i knew it i was chewing 2 cans per day. I got tired of wasting all my money, always needing to go by 2 cans, going to 6 different gas stations so i didn't look stupid, looking for spitters, drinking spitters, hiding my addiction, and always thinking i'd quit tomorrow.

Addiction Details: My buddy chewed Redman back in High School. He got me to try some and it was great. Chewed leaf for several years. Graduated to Cope Long Cut and Skoal LC in the mid 90's. Dipped on and off since then, mostly on. Quit for nearly all of 2010 and started back up like an asshole about this time last year. Got up to nearly a can a day at my worst. I hid it from my wife for nearly an entire year. Not sure how I pulled that off. Now I'm just glad to be off that shit. I do miss smoking a good cigar with my Dad now and then though.
