I really wouldn't know what to do without a vice. When I stop one, another increases. Between smoke, chaw, and booze, I'm always doing something!

Absolutely!! Got to have something. I drink beer like I'm getting paid to do it. When I really want to let it rip I get in to the Captain and Cokes. Heck, I figure when I get to be 70 or 75 I may start smoking again. Something's going to kill me when I get old so it might as well be something I enjoy.

You'd think after wrecking on a quad when I was 12 and swallowing a mouthful of Rough Country that lead to two hours of puking in the woods would've done it for me, but...

Day 2 going well so far. Just came in to take a break from staining my deck in this heat. Normally I would've had a few gnaws while working outside, but just kept singing along to Jamey Johnson and Blackberry Smoke tunes to keep my mind off it and piss the neighbors off.

That reminded me of the time we went over to Canada to the titty bar while up at college. I had a couple drinks and thought I needed something to cut the alcohol smell so I threw some Kodiak in. Of course as we are going over the bridge back into the Soo and before customs I asked for a bottle so I could spit....no bottles. So I did the smart thing and swallowed it. Made it back and headed to a sorority party and as soon as I walked in the heat hit me!! I thought I needed a beer to take that feeling away and my first gulp was of real warm beer!! Barely made it out off the front porch and puked all over the rail and off the porch. I stood off to the side for a bit catching my breath and soon some kid walks out to take a piss off the porch and puts his willy into the puke all over the railing...LMFAO!! That was a long night LOL!!

Good luck to all those who are trying to quit. 7 years with no starting back up dipping for me.

Tony Gwynn was the man...

Hang tough LB. FS and I are going on 6 months without a dip and after 34 years of it? Well, we're still going strong. It's one of those bitter sweet decisions. You hate to give it up, but it may save your life? Good luck.
