I have dipped for so long, this could be a long one, but will make it a short read. My first dip was on the way to football camp in 10th grade and I have been married to the nic bitch ever since. I am sure I can't tell any of you anything you don't know about her. It started out as a novelty and we would go to the fisherama and buckarama each time and come home with bags of dip they happily gave out to us. Not playing the victim here, but I'd like to go back and kick their asses now, I had no idea of the power of this addiction and never thought of it at the time. I am 46 now, so I have about 30 years that was tailored around how and when I could get a dip. I have been married for 17 years, have an 11 9 year old daughter and a 2 1/2 yr son. My wife has tried to be a driving force in the quit, but she doesn't understand the power of the nic bitch and that's what had me searching the web when I found this site. It made a difference in my attitude that all of you have had the same experiences and I look forward to each day that I am going into battle, knowing there is a group of guys that are right there with me to help when I need it and where I can do the same.
