I wish I could say that is was...I lost all of my broness, after I pondered your question. I now understand that I am just a little bit white trash, a tad bit metrosexual, and a whole lotta redneck...at least thats what my wife appearantly told her church group. I also realized that due to these atributes that I posses, I can only be a bro poser. Jwool, you must carry on in the tradition of the bros, DGAF!

 

Damn we sound like the same person. I'm alot of bit redneck but clean up nice when I have to. All my friends call me a high-tech redneck. I can't wait to get back out to the 806 I miss it dearly. I fit in great there As for being a bro we can both still pose on the weekend. When I get a new truck i'll lift the F150 so we can have an "official bro ride" After that I dont think we lack much except for some straight bills, bro threads, and some bro hoes.
I'm thinkin about opening a store up called 909 and making our slogan "All the clothes you need to accesorize your bros" We could make millions!
Sorry for the thread hi-jack. If it helps i just put in almost a horeshoe. I've been at lewisville hospital most of the day and couldn't take a pinch. This is about what I feel like with the cope and Oxy Contin

 

Anybody ever done an ALL AMERICAN?? haha

its such a waste.. its where you fill your entire top and bottom lips with chew

Never had the desire to try this hahaha

 

whoever said the cold Grizzly Mint is the best, you are right. First thing in the morning when you've got nothing to do, it's cold outside, and you finish a cup of coffee.

Holy cow, ive been off it for 11 weeks now, and i want one so bad. I never thought it would be this hard to drop it cold turkey, but i do not miss the aching jaw one bit.


And yes ive done the 'all american' it hurts really really bad on the top lips

 

very nice...

Grizzly Wintergreen, Kodiak Wintergreen and just to mix it up sometimes Skoal in.... wintergreen (although I have to say that the cherry tastes real good)

 

Yes, because the chemical effect is the same. You and I are not nicotine addicts. We are endorphin addicts. Nicotine triggers a gland in the brain to release one of the best natural drugs ever, endorphins, which are made and regulated by a gland in the brain. Nicotine is an easy/convenient (subdued) endorphin inducer compared to the other ways to get that rush such as vigorous excercise, orgasm, or excruciating pain (as examples). Even laughter triggers our brains to give us this drug. It's even thought that this naturally produced chemical reduces stress, and prevents depression. To put it simply, the Chantix pills keep nicotine from triggering that gland. For the first week you build up Chantix in your system with a increasing dose while you continue your tobacco habit. In my experience, I began to feel withdrawals on the second day of low dose. THE CIGARETTES WEREN'T WORKING ANYMORE! I was going nuts smoking more than usual, in fact but feeling guilty for that action since I actually was serious about quitting. After the first week, you attempt to go cold turkey, and the dose goes up 100%. I've been 100% smoke free since The Day. I really don't understand why you need nicotine inhibitors after you cease smoking. Maybe it's for people who cheat occasionally. I've found myself finding other ways to get the endorphin rush. Running until exhaustion set in, for instance. I've felt a little depressed, and extra, um, anxious for sex due to the lack of the level endorphins in my bloodstream that I have become used to for 12 years. It didn't help that my GF dumped me one week before I began the program.

This has NOT been easy, and it's taken alot of will-power, and even some time away from work. You have to be serious about quitting for it to work. I think it really has helped, or maybe it's just the placbo effect. I had heard success and failure stories from friends, but I figured for 100 bucks, if it will keep me from buying cigarettes for a month I will break even.

PS, I am not a doctor, but I have done some research (not in a Holiday Inn Express), so please correct me if I have gotten the body chemistry stuff wrong.

 

Wait...wait...wait...



White trash, metrosexual, Hightech-rednecks?

Niiiiiice.

 

Who ever mentioned a cup of coffee and a cold dip is right, thats the start to a good day

 

I need to find a safe alternative to dipping. I like my endorphin inducing habit, but I dont really care to much for the side effects.

 

Covered by insurance our out of pocket?

 

skoal apple blend $6 bucks... sometimes if there out skoal berry or citrus but ditched the wintergreen or cope long/fine(snuff).

Need to stop soon because as I look at it, its been about 8 years of off and on, but recently its been more on.

 

I played the insurance card, literally, but for me, my insurance didn't do squat (what a surprise, I've never received a dime back from any insurance I've had). The doctor gave me a $10 coupon so it it cost me $107 bucks and change for the starter kit. I will not need another month with my will power where it is now. I want a cigarette SO badly, but I still can resist. 15 days now. Weird.

 

I remember that my first experience with tobacco ever was when Skoal brought out the Cherry flavor... when I was 17. Man, do I regret that day...It's nothing to play with, in any tutti-fruitty flavor...

 

blah cherry almost made me puke on the slopes in mammoth... no other flavors then earlier stated.

 

None yet.

*knock - knock*


I was referring to long term effects.
