comeback?

[deebocools]

So, I had an urge to quit like 5 months ago, and did. I was surprised to find how easy it was(I was never a smoker, I was a dipper then snuser). Not only that, but the way that nicotine helped me concentrate, stayed with me. There's evidence that that actually does happen.

I've felt a bit healthier since, like my body is alot more calm and steady. but I like to keep my options open.

I've used some dip recently, which of course just reminded me of my old friend snus . Do you think I should just avoid the addiction beast, since I'm in the clear, or make a comeback? I don't know if there's a reason my nicotine affinity came back, or if nicotine craving can just lay in wait for long periods...

I think optimally, it'd be best to not use anything.

Good seeing you again deeb :^)

Only you can answer that question. There's lots of things in life you use which aren't essential to survival, and sometimes are even detrimental. If you think the positives outweigh the negatives, SnusOn!

[sagedil]

Yeah, but if you don't use, you don't post, and I don't like that.

Not sure I can be an uninterested party, so won;t answer. Just say I have missed you!!!

I have about 30 or so cans of snus, and a bunch of nasal snuff, now the nasal snuff may last me forever, but I am contemplating using what I have and quitting it all. I occassionally dip and chew too sometimes as well. I like everything I have, though a part of me thinks I'd be better off if I didn't use anything.

thanks for the replies; what I'd tell you tom502 is that I was using about 8-10 portions a day before I just stopped. I felt really spaced out for a few days, but after the physical was over, I only had a craving to have something in my mouth, so now I chew 10 sticks of gum a day. I was still as good at work and everything else. So what I'm telling you is quitting is worth a shot.

A confounding issue is that I drink alcohol regularly, and alcohol could easily be the only drug I use. But I don't like being on nothing at all, so I'm drinking anytime I'm not at work. my consumption easily doubled after quitting snus. Of course, theres no way to tell which one is more harmful to be personally, but I feel like if I could quit drinking for a half a weak with snus, I would reduce the harm of both.

Probably just faulty reasoning to indulge my whims, though

I'll add that even if I could drop snus in an instant, I wouldn't. I enjoy using tobacco, and the minimal risks involved with snus and snuff make it an easy decision. My choice of diving a car has more potential negative effects than snus does imo.

Same here.

I gave up totally for 5 months and I found it unhealthy. Reasons - psychologically and physically I was slower and even more grumpy.

I've conceded and I'm at peace with myself in that I've made a decision to always be addicted. I am therefore enjoying it in any way I can i.e. snus/snuff and as much of it as I want.

I will never smoke again though and I'm at peace with that also.

I'd say that if your at peace:unpeace ratio is out of balance - balance it more to the 'at peace' whether that means abstention or using.

deebo good to hear from you bro

I agree with tom- to be free is a good thing

I agree with sage- the whole bias thing

I agree with lx- I love snus, its low risk, and thus I have had no desire to quit

In short, I'm absolutely worthless to you in this discussion but I am glad to see you back.

I think I'm gonna make a comeback. Adderal pills are my second drug of choice(after alcohol) really, but to get them I have to trick a doctor or hang out with college students, so nevermind.

have a lip in(of american dip) now. I always liked nicotine and alcohol for the same reason- they kill my stress and stimulate me at the same time. I'm gonna stay positive and place an order for some of the newer snuses, I think, before the days over. I appreciate the support.

[deebocools]

and furthermore, I don't know why really, I can be totally sober, but I just don't like it. I don't feel depressed- I just feel bored and I always think "I can feel better than this". maybe it's a personality flaw, but at the same time I only have so much time on earth to get my kicks, so I will. Goddamn, look at me all full of thoughts and feelings

[tom502]

It's better than heroin.
