So I gotta say I think my pipe addiction has reached new levels. This is the first summer I have smoked almost every day after 3-4 years of casual piping. There's a couple things I've done that really let me know I'm hooked.
1) I've repeatedly set my alarm in the middle of the night (when I have to get up very early to manage a bank) to bid on pipes or tobacco. Nothing like the rush of bidding on a vintage tin at 3 in the morning! Glad my wife is a heavy sleeper and hasn't heard the alarm yet. 8O
2) This morning I woke up and realized in my dream I had been smoking a pipe. I don't even stop smoking while I'm sleeping! I'm currently reading Rick Newcombe's "In Search Of Pipe Dreams" which may have something to do with that.
So share, when was it you realized you were hooked? Maybe it's stuff you still do...
