Well I've been dipping for about 10-11 years now. 2 cans of grizzly straight a day. And before that it was 2 cans of skoal wintergreen. I've tried to quit a few times. Once with the gum.... $40 later I still dipped. My wife always wanted me to quit, but never supported me quitting. My mom died of lung cancer a little under 2 years ago. So I need to quit.
And it just hit me a couple hours ago. I have to quit.....and for some reason I decided today was the day. So after I through that can away, and put my spitter in the trash, I googled. And that's when I found this site. Never been part of any support group, never really thought that there were other people out there addicted quite like I was. So maybe this is a great thing. Maybe I can really quit this time.
But it's funny after I joined this site, I ran down to the store to get me some sunflower seeds, and maybe some fake dip. They didn't have any faux dip, but I did get some sunflower seeds. Back to the story, I ran into a really good old friend of mine and was explaining to him that today I was going to quit dipping. And you wanna know what his response was? "Why quit, it's the only bad habit that you have!" I did not get this..... I didn't listen either. I need to quit.
