One Major Downside To Giving Up The Pipe.

[mawnansmiff]

Since I reluctantly gave up the pipe last year I have been limiting my posts to the general discussion forum and the food and drink forum without realising it.

It has just dawned on me that it was my subconscious mind that was keeping me away from the (perhaps more interesting) forums so I was not tempted to go back to the pipe.

This eureka moment came as I read a PM from another forum member who too has hung up his pipe for health reasons.

I'm still surrounded by pipe smoking paraphernalia, my home made 24 pipe rack is by my side, my kitchen cupboards are brimming with jars of tobacco, my bedroom has boxes full of tins but despite this, though I do hanker for a bowl, I've yet to throw in the towel.

Regards,

Jay ?

Jay, You are now the proud curator of a fine collection of estate pipes, so you are certainly a part of the Forums scene. Health comes before pipe smoking, although members occasionally dis-remember that. I always enjoy your posts, and look forward to them. No reason to discontinue pipe posts, drawing on your long experience, unless that would soften your resolve to guard your health. Man, keep on keeping on, and keep "piping up."

You just have to re-purpose your pipe rack to hold your spoons or sex toys. It will make you feel better seeing it put to good use! ?

I, too,enjoy your posts and am glad you still slum around with us.

I'll second this.

The part about enjoying your posts that is.

What you do with your rack is your business.

Good on you Jay. It's a challenge to rise to and enjoy the combat. Are you stronger than the pipe? The nicotine?
I'm enjoying the little wins I experience everyday. So far I've been the one in control. Now, in a couple of months I'll reconsider my benevolent attidude towards my heart but, until then I'l be pumping fully oxygenated blood to and through the old, abused ticker.

Hang in there!
