Thanks! Only took about 18 years. Nowadays the smell of them grosses me out unless I’m completely bombed!Congrats!! I have seen through others how tough that is to do.
and now I am craving a habit it took me a long time to quit.My first dip was on the tee box of #8 at Woodhaven, either right before or right after what was almost certainly yet another monster drive into those infernal trees on the left. Skoal wintergreen. It was just the absolute worst thing ever.
My second dip was about a month later on the chipping green. Copenhagen fine cut. And a long, unhealthy and ultimately very expensive love affair was born.
laughing at the guy who baylor trips at the 32 yard line for a loss.

I walked past a display the other day that had Levi Garrett on it. My mind was like, "look, candy!" Suddenly I could hear Bodine and Rudd reving engines, ready for Talladega. Charlie Daniels roared through the pines like a crazed mountain lion who had its first kill of the season. Visions of cruising through town with the KC lights on for no reason, 30/30 on the rack in the cab. Then it all stopped when I heard, "Sir, will the probiotics be all for you today?"
I never tried it because I know I’d probably enjoy it. As a baseball guy I’m proud I never gave in. Would eat a ton of sunflower seeds instead.My first dip was on the tee box of #8 at Woodhaven, either right before or right after what was almost certainly yet another monster drive into those infernal trees on the left.

Same here. Know it was back in the 90s. Then later, seeing Coach Sullivan's warning to folks about it, was reality punch to the gut that made me stay off the worm dirt/ can of calm down.Averaged a can a day (or more) for ~25 years. Quit cold turkey maybe 8 or 9 years ago. But that’s just a guess. Can still smell it. When I stop to think about it, I find it odd that I don’t really remember exactly when I quit. I consider it among the proudest moments of my life, so it seems like I should celebrate it like my anniversary or something. But perhaps the mindset that it’s not special, it just is, is why it worked in the first place.

My first dip wasn't much of a dip. Right before I started high school our high school was renovated. I was in the building before school started b/c of band practice and I took a stroll with some buddies through the campus while construction was still ongoing. A construction worker had plugged a water fountain with a pinch of tobacco and I was the first to get a drink from that fountain after he did it. I swallowed it before I knew it was in my mouth and proceeded to yak within 30 seconds. Never felt the urge to even try it after that.My first dip was on the tee box of #8 at Woodhaven, either right before or right after what was almost certainly yet another monster drive into those infernal trees on the left.

Went straight to Copenhagen at 15. Sophomore year, before a football game. Thank god it got rained out. There was no way I was going to stop puking long enough to play.
To this day almost 30 years later, the smell of Copenhagen turns my stomach.
