So I have been dipping for 8 years, Copenhagen Long Cut. I stated in 2006 during my first rotation to Iraq. After my first firefight I was a little shaky and my team leader asked if I was ok, I said yeah I'm good. Then asked if I wanted a dip, I said fuck yes. Ever since been going through a can a day. I separated from the Army in February of 2013, and am now a Police Officer. As I type this I have a dip in my front lip, getting anxious just thinking about quiting. But I feel like my life literally revolves around dipping. Eat, dip, try to stay awake, put a dip in. I honestly don't know if I would have been able to stay focused during 2 rotations to iraq and 2 to A-Stan. That's how I feel now about police work, how can I focus on my job without it.
