What's under your lip/in your nose right now?

Good evening everyone. Thanks for the support. It might be my imagination but it really seems like the wife smokes more since I've been trying to quit. I'm probably just noticing it more. I think I'm at the point where most of the battle is psychological but it is still difficult. I have quit several times and sometimes for months at a time but each time I have caved in. All I can do is keep trying. I'm glad I have you folks to talk to about it.

You said it all right there Hitt! ECF is a great support group for all of us! As I like to say: "Don't quit quitting......Just use more snuff"

Were here for you brother!

Thanks Wiz. I didn't really want to talk about it in the EC. Most there seem perfectly happy with just vaping and I didn't want to put any doubt in their minds.

Hey, my gf still smokes and it doesn't bother me in the least. It gives me the opportunity to practice that little fake cough that we all have heard. It's really not to hard once you get the knack of it.

I'll take that beer now.

Hold on, hitt. After I finish my group hug with W, jojo and fc I'll head your way. Eventually. Priorities ya know

Hey, anyone awake to watch the TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE ? Starts about 0130 here and is s'posed to be total around 0240ish. Woohoo, it's all in the alignment, baby. I haven't seen this since the last time I seen it. Wiz, you'll probably have to dim the EC lights or observe from that balloon thing (I hope you get a steering wheel for Christmas). We could all gaze at it the same time and make believe we're looking at a giant ashtray snus lid

My wife is a lifetime non-smoker/tobacco hater, but when I announced my interest in snus she was repulsed with the picture of me spitting in a bottle and eventually having my mouth removed because of oral cancer. She even demanded I go back to smoking because it was safer. She's a believer now...I think. I hounded her with the true facts and eventually she relented, though I'm not sure if she heard what I said or just wanted me to shut up. At the very least, she tolerates it pretty well in comparison to smoking now.

man, i had a hard enough time convincing the wife about snus and she was a complete wreck at the time.I can't imagine trying to explain it to a non tobacco user ( don't we have a spiffy abbreviation for that term yet? NTU? PITA? :P)) or someone who quit cold turkey or something.sounds like a pretty severe uphill battle.Good on you duderino.

I wish i had some keen words of wisdom or some easy remedy for kicking the last of the smokes.There was along time period in my life where i was downing 3 packs of non filtered pall malls a day ( pre-insane taxes obviously."I remember when stogies were 75 cents a pack"....) and had essentially resigned myself to the impending painful cancer ridden death i was facing.It sounds pretty brutal to say now but,if you've been a smoker you know the hopeless feeling i'm referring to.
In hindsight i think that the little glimpse of a hopeful feeling is what let me kick them altogether.Before the last 6 months the longest time i had been without a cigarette was about 4 hours (and yes, i would wake up in the middle of the night to smoke).So i know if i can do it,anyone can and if i start smoking again tomorrow, at least i've gone 6 months without a smoke.
A little short green man once said :
"Do, or do not. There is no 'try."
If we keep doing it - it will eventually stick.

Oh,
and on the subject of the eclipse - we were robbed.The first time something like that happens since the 1600's and it's cloudy.what kind of crap is that?
I went out for a walk and saw the clouds get reddish and then dark and that's it.what a rip off.
wondering what the odds are of seeing the next one with:

Ok but remember, hands above the waist. Seriously though, there's no need for everyone to keep dwelling on my problems. I will either figure it out or not. I don't want to ruin the usual fun mood here. I will keep everyone updated if there are any changes.
