Where: San Angelo, Texas (Did the flag give it away?)
Married: My wife has put up with my shit for almost 12 years. One 3.5 year old daughter that makes me work to be the man she thinks I am.
Addiction Details: Stole a can of copenhagen from my brother when I was in the 4th grade. Dipped with buddies in the bathroom. Started dipping daily with my next door neighbor in the 7th grade. Now it's almost 25 years later and I think I quit once for a month years ago. Stuck with Copenhagen the entire time, just switched from fine cut to long cut.

Married: yes, 1 year, no kids yet, but I'm doing that thing with my leg so I guess that means were trying...
Addiction Details: started at 16, stole my first from pops, it was a skoal WG. Dipped cope long cut for 10 years, then cope WG for 2 ( had to hide the cope breath with WG from my wonderful woman) Towards the end I dipped 2 cans a day.

Username: Mick in Stuart

Married: yes, 17 years (feels like just 10 minutes............under water!!!) 3 boys, 15, 13, 11.
Addiction Details: Started Copenhagen at the age of 14 cause thats what the varsity baseball guys were doing. Walt Garrett said on TV as he was swinging his lasso "just a pinch between your cheek and gums.." - so it had to be okay, it was better than smoking!? In the end, almost a 2 can a day addiction. This quit is my final quit, however, I know I have to keep it guarded.

Addiction Details: Started at age 12 when Copenhagen was 75 cent a can, spurred on by the fact that my old man dipped, and Earl Campbell was the best RB in the world, standin on the beach sayin, "Skoal, Brutha" Learned to hide it and keep it hidden from the very beginning. That is what I hate the most about myself.

Addiction Details: Not many chewers around me my whole life despite playing alot of ball. At 18 a friend suggested I try it for shits and giggles. End up using a tin a day at $20 a tin so $600 a month. Attempted to quit every day for years. Beat head against many of walls.

In the mid 70s, Walt Garrison said it was okay. Just a pinch between your cheek and gums. Been a slave since until joining this fine group.

Quit 12:00 pm (noon) October 15, 2011 after 34 years.

It's not how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up that matters.
