Default Does it get any better?

So as some may know I work at a substance abuse facility in Wisconsin, and the weather here well was winter and a cold snowy first start of spring. Last couple of days was nice so most snow melted and was warm. Tonight at work I decided to start up a fire in the fire-pit in the backyard bring my 15 count traveldor out there and sit back and enjoy a gar.
Lets just say 10 minutes of the fire and my light up I had 8 clients that aren't cigar smokers enjoying good cigars and just hanging out talking about recovery and getting things off their chests and and what not and just relaxing, enjoying life. However some may question if introducing people that may not have $$ or good finance smarts or addictions to the world of cigars but, I didn't see any harm. TY lord for the good night and times.

Cigars are not addictive in and of themselves. Buying them....well that's an entirely different story. You're fine Corey, just don't send them here

I meant for some cigar smoking therapy...the relaxing and enjoying life part (not the abuse part, did not mean to glamorous that part at all)!!

yeah i did around the christmas holiday for a week got expensive but was fun but didn't beat sitting in warmer weather around a fire, and the thank yous I got from the clients and how many came and shared in my office after , was great breaking that barrier of staff/client. Kind of what i like to do with racquetball with them but less painful and energy.

Make sure you bring your sticks upon entering treatment. Might be able to convince the boss to allow you to bring the vino or a big desktop.

I was thinking of getting that group therapy t shirt with cigars around an ashtray for that reason, there's some young over 18 adults I mentor or talk to and some I sponsor that we find ourselves smoking a gar during the 1-2 hr talks.


on a different note how many guys gonna go grab some wood now and start enjoying companionship by the fire cause like I started does it get any better than this...

Wonderful idea. Cigars always bring people closer together, unless they are bidding against each other online .
