Thanks for the quick intros guys.
I've thrown in my roll call. It'll be tough to do it daily only because I get distracted easily and when I'm not at work (Enterprise Technology) I tend to try to keep away from the computer as much as possible. But I'll roll call week days I'm sure.
The wife is all about the quit - I'll send her that link so we can talk about it tonight.
While I'm not a professor by trade... It's a nickname for various reasons. Ironically enough I DO enjoy a pipe here and there with some really good tobacco. While I don't inhale it, some nicotine is bound to get into my system, so as much as it pains me - I'm not doing it while I quit dip. I may never do it again (I only do it on special occasions anyway so It's not like I'm heating the pipe weekly even).
I'll be hitting up Walmart today - as I'm starting to run low on Hooch. You'd have thought I'd have been clever enough to realize I'd be (fake)dipping twice as much since I'm quitting. I like Hooch - but I've heard good things about the wintergreen they sell at Walmart... Smoky Mountain or something? I'll give it a shot while I wait for more Hooch.
So far - aside from waking at 5am every morning, I'm sleeping well (typically I'll wait till 6 to wake). I'm "going" okay - I happen to like spicy foods so I'm trying to nip that issue in the bud before I have to deal with it. I am spacing out quite a bit, but it's worth it. No headaches yet. So for the most part - I'm quite pleased.
I'm a little curious how some of the folks feel about the pipe smoking now that it's randomly come up? Never again? After 100 days? Play it by ear after 100 days? I do enjoy it but it wouldn't be the end of the world to quit... My garage just wouldn't smell as manly.
