For many years I've heard many a gentlemen here speak of finding solace with during a bowl. I personally have been at this for just over 8.5 years. Enjoying it, but never quite the way it was described. Guessing I needed more time.
After I lost my wife mid 2018, I continued to smoke, somewhat rather infrequently and tried my best to get my mind off of the events.
My smoking picked up and late nights when the bad feelings floated in, I would grab a pipe to work the mind and fingers rather than wringing my hands with despair.
I've made gains, some good, some selfish. But the pipe has been with me. Even take it with me whether I smoke it or not. Its there. At the ready.
So, I can say it's finally become the friend I always heard it could be. The community has been a great provider as well, but the times I'm at home alone, My pipes give me comfort or at least kept the mind distracted.
