Another New Attempt
After paying $47.95 for a can of Prince Albert Pipe Tobacco today, I have decided to begin anew my goal of becoming pipe free. My goal is to work at dramatic reduction in number of pipes per day for a while with the goal of being pipe free before the end of the Summer.... Hopefully even earlier. I feel a strong sense of resolve this time. It seems similar in some ways to the resolve I had in losing weight, and in becoming a runner. Hopefully this is not just a pipe dream like it has been in the past. If I can get up enough gumption and damn orneriness in myself, I am hopeful I will succeed this time. It took several attempts to lose 120 pounds, it took a lot of effort over a long time to walk and then run. I can do this, if I keep making steady progress.

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.
I hope you are successful in reaching your goal! You must remember that tobacco is as addicting as food and you may need some outside help.
ReplyDeleteWow, tobacco is really expensive anymore. I didn't know!
Never knew what Prince Albert in can cost. But I do recall doing prank phone (Now I'm dating my self) to local store and asking if they had prince albert in a can.

" . . . not just a pipe dream." Hope not. Good luck. From your comment to Peppy Lady, I gather that this is an old habit.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Professor. If will-power isn't sufficient, I suggest you see a hypnotist.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about smoking a pipe..but I smoked 3-4 packs of unfiltered Camels a day and quit cold turkey..was easy for me..not so easy for others..been over 45 years..
ReplyDeleteGood luck.....
