Lenten Privations
I decided to give up chewing tobacco for Lent.
I have been chewing more or less constantly since I was 9, or 22 years ago. Tobacco has become an integral part of my life. I gave up chewing the “good stuff” years ago and switched to economy brands to save money.
I have never been that concerned about ruining my health or my appearance, but at times I really have gotten tired of tobacco. It’s just that I simply have to. Don’t try to make that make sense.
So, I began quitting yesterday. And it’s going pretty good. I’ve only had one. And yesterday afternoon I went to the Enning Store and bought almost all the gum that Carl had. Right now I have five pieces of, let’s see, oh yes Trident White Wintergreen in my mouth and I am happy, oh yes, we are happy, mmhmm, the precious, it burns us…
Have a better day than I will.

It’s not the fact of not having a chew in that is hard, it is the fact that you can’t have a chew in that is the problem. When you jaws get tired of gum, and they will, just move it around in your mouth with out chewing it. Make it into a small ball and roll it around with your tongue. Work it around into a long troll and tuck it into the cheek or lib like a chew. Just fiddle with it, don’t always chew it. It helps. I’ll pray for you, my friend.
