Well...

The post below this one was just published but was written yesterday.  It appears I did not publish it correctly as I was perhaps a bit "unfocused" at the time.  

But, I am serious in my goal of seriously reducing my pipe tobacco consumption. I remember feeling much better during the six weeks I did so in Lent of 2014.  I want to get back to that.  

There is no reason I cannot wrangle my resolve and my determination and do this!  I feel as if a plant is controlling me and that is idiotic.  My current plan is to smoke less today and on Sunday, and to have Monday be a first day for me to refrain for a full 24 hours.   Currently I am thinking I will do again what worked in that prior Lent.... Namely to refrain completely except for when I happen to be drinking.  

Realistically, I drink on Fridays, but not every Friday.  So, with this idea in mind, I should end up being pipe tobacco free at least 6 days a week.  If (when) I do this, I can then focus on the good feelings of not smoking my pipe with the added eventual goal of not smoking my pipe even if drinking.  That may take a bit more time, however.  So,  I think this is the start date of this new path for me.

    i think it's a lot easier being 100% tobacco free than being 85.71% tobacco free.

    I suspect you may very well be right. Unfortunately, at the moment, a 100% tobacco free existence seems beyond my capacity to contemplate.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
