nah drying and curing is pretty easy....just bundle it and hang it in the shed...to me the 'devil' as you say as any other person that schemes for a way to let you let them think for you....

yep, i'd have to somewhat agree. just gotta keep my finger wet in some homebrew! feels pretty good, just usually have to roll up the sial because it ain't blow in my direction.....but that's what anchors are for!

m'fer i've been sitting off my dream private island...with the wind blowing away with the anchor dropped for 10 years, don't give me a hard time if i'm going to try and paddle the boat!

(OT but my 12lbs of sugar i started on the 16th is already down to 1.020....was $6 in sugar, hoping maybe just $3-4 more for the oj! but it's homemade so better then this)

I still have smoking dreams, all the time. So crazy, guess that will happen til the end. I wake from them and think "Oh gawd I started again". Then I realize it's not real, and I did not drop the ball.

I've been nico free for a long time, not one puff. And, except in my dreams, I'm gonna keep that up. As I said previously, if my wife goes before me, I'll probably just start smoking again. She had nothing to do with me quitting, but I'm not interested in my health after she's gone.

I'd stick around because of my grandkids, at least...

Cheers!

In the early-80’s, my dad did handyman work in Detroit while in seminary. I helped him with a job one summer day scrubbing and bleaching drop-ceiling tiles from an office full of smokers. I still remember drinking a Big Gulp on the drive home with the brown/yellow crud all over my hands and forearms. Scared straight at 8.

I started using nicotine around the age of 12. I mostly dipped. I was using 2 cans a day by the time I was 20. When I worked at a bar and grill in college, I smoked and dipped, often simultaneously. Smoking never really did anything for me nicotine wise, I just sorta did it for fun I guess, and really not that often. I quit for good in 2008 when my oldest girl was born, and have been quit since. I would smoke cigars from time to time, but my wife quit smoking around 2010, and out of respect I don't anymore.

I too have had the dreams, the "Oh no I dipped again". Only to wake and realize after a few seconds it was only a dream. I actually don't miss snuff at all, and I haven't had the dreams for many years now thankfully. My wife says she has the dreams often, but she is disgusted by smoking now, and doesn't miss it.

Nicotine is rough to quit, glad you were able to make the plunge, I know it was hard for me personally, I honestly wasn't sure I had it in me.

Quitting smoking may be tricky, I know it from my personal experience. I have been an avid smoker for about 10 years.

? for some reason that sounds weird to me....

haha. It's pretty accurate though - I loved smoking, especially at certain times. Oddest thing for me was fishing without a smoke.

i guess, just sounds like someone who just started to me.. i mean i've got a jug of homemade brandy that's been aging 14 years? made it when i was 30....

i really do want to get back on dry snuff...
