Sorting comics while watching the Watchmen Movie ? Priceless. For me it's listening to the Sandman adaptation on Audible while I sort comics... -M

My listening preferences for sorting/organization sessions is usually some form of OTR (Old Time Radio) show streamed from OTRR or Archive.org. The Shadow, Green Hornet, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Boston Blackie, Superman, Suspense, Lights Out, X Minus One, Dragnet and The Whistler are some of my favorites.
"Theatre for the mind", if you will.
On some occasions, it's a ballgame or hockey game instead.

Well I have to say my wife was quite amicable about finding out I bought a can of Copenhagen today after 12 years of sobriety from it.

I can only imagine the nicotine rush at this point. Tell me about it yes. I think though I have a handle on it today. Hopefully I can power through today and give it up again.

I hope you can kick it and stay off it again. Tobacco and drugs are vices I am thankful I never picked up, but I could demolish a box of cookies in one sitting.

On one of the extras on the X-Files DVDs, William B. Davis (who played the Cigarette-Smoking Man) talked about being offered a choice of real or herbal cigarettes for his first appearance. He had quit smoking 20 years previously, so didn't think anything of taking the real one. Later on, when they called him back for another episode, he took the real cigarettes again. Then at some point after that, he caught himself thinking that it would be great if X-Files would call again. From then on, he only took the herbal cigarettes.
There's a reason addicts are always "recovering" and never "recovered", because the whispers rationalizing that it's okay this time and that you're really in control are always there. That's not a character flaw; it's just how it works. Best thing you can do is immediately give the tin to your wife to dispose of however she wants, ignoring the temptations to take one last pinch or put a small amount aside first, and then lock that door and throw away the key.

I've always had temptations since 2010 when I quit. Usually I try to stave off the cravings with my pipe I have, as I have never smoked it on a regular basis just on occasions. But this is the first time I gave into the craving. It really is a constant battle to not fail. But I guess I can take this as a learning experience and not give in the next time. That said, I left the can at home and texted my wife to dispose of it where I won't be able to get to it again. And now I will double my efforts to not give in again. Thanks for reassuring words from ya'll. It really does help.
