Leaving on a Jet Plane
That song is running through my head at the moment because I am heading to Florida for a research meeting tomorrow afternoon after I give my students their final exam. I am thinking about NOT taking my pipe to jump start my effort to quit. I have been thinking about it but it makes me nervous. I would be unlikely to easily find a pipe or even pipe tobacco while down there so, I have been trying to psyche myself up about how I need to look at it positively, and how I should not allow myself to get riled up and angry because I will not have my damnable pipe pacifier with me. Part of me still thinks I should take it, but we shall see what I end up doing.

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.
Taking a pipe isn't a problem, taking a lot of tobacco is. You need to force yourself to use less and less tobacco each day until you get it down to where you are smoking less each day and then down to just a few puffs, then none......
ReplyDeleteIt helps to stay busy with other things so you have less time to reach for the pipe, and to tell yourself, "Not for another hour, then I can have two puffs."
