My name is Pat. I am 27 and I have been a half-can-a-day slave to dip for the past 13 years. This may be the most difficult thing I have ever done and I am already going through a stressful time in my life. I have tried to quit before but did not make it past a week. And I have told myself I will quit after I accomplish my next goal, after I get into graduate school, after my next birthday, once I have a girlfriend, once I have a kid... the excuses go on and on... Dip has been a part of my life just as a relationship would be. It was the first thing I did in the morning and the last thing I did at night. I looked forward to getting back home to my can when I was out (usually I just brought it with me). I literally think I love it if that is possible. I have mistakenly drank my dip, which was in a coke bottle, twice in a row. Just 2 nights ago I was at a nice restaurant and had a dip in after dinner and dropped my cup on the ground. This wasn't the first time this has happened but it was an eye opener for me. My friends girlfriend was disgusted. I used to think and say stuff like "I don't give a S***" and "people can think what they want" and maybe thats why I have been single for over a year. I am tired of being a slave to this crap. I want to quit. I want a nice smile. I want good breath. I want to keep my jaw right where it is. I want to live a long, healthy, and prosperous life. I found this website last night and just reading other people's posts has given me the strength necessary to start my quit. So I introduce to you day 1...
