I found this group on day 16 of my quit, wish I would of found it on day 1. The things I read on this site are very helpful.
I started dipping like alot of you at about 12, got serious about 15. For the last 20 years I have never gone very long without a dip. I never even wanted to quit, much less tried.
I promised my wife before we got married that I would make a real effort to quit, and never even thought of trying until she finally called me on it. I love my wife more than Skoal Original, and about 2 days after she finally mentioned it I took the last dip I will ever take.
I coach baseball and am getting ready to go face my biggest trigger, we open preseason practice today. I will get through it, but I am nervous at the moment. Thanks to all the guys who have already shown their support for me.
Skoal has seen the last $ they will get from me.
