In mid-April, I gave up smoking a pipe.
Since then, I haven’t had much motivation to write. But I think that’s changing now. At this point I feel like I’ll be back to blogging in about a week. I might be wrong about that, but that’s how I feel.
By the way, my efforts to give up smoking a pipe have been rather successful. I have not touched tobacco since mid-April.

Congratulations Paul!
Back in college I lived near a great tobacconist in East Tennessee, and constantly smoked a pipe. Moved to Illinois, there was no good shop in town and I wound up quitting. But that’s a real smoke; I never understood cigarette smokers.
Way to go, Paul!
And welcome back.
I used to smoke a pipe. I stopped 41 years ago when my wife became pregnant and quit her cigarettes, I just could not puff smoke before her. I had 15 pipes, still have them, smoked one day each and then carefully cleaned and put to rest for two weeks.
After a good lunch or during a friendly chat I still would smoke a pipe of Mixture 79…but i’m holding fast. So don’t flinch.
I came to your blog through a contributor to sixtyfivewhatnow and I liked what I read. So keep it up.

Woha! Thats huge! congratulations!
Glad you’ll be back soon. Ciao
Congrats. I know how hard it can be. even though, as for smoking tobacco in any sort, that’s probably the only silly thing I didn’t do in life.
Are you happy not smoking?
Ahh, I see. That’ll do it, the old nicotine withdrawals. Well done!
I have always loved to smell pipe tobacco but hate cigarette smoke. I especially loved the cherry scented tobacco. Never did smoke a pipe though. Congratulations on the tobacco stoppage. I worked in the tobacco fields as a teenager and have never missed those days at all!
Wow, congrats! Now, my only hope is that my wish that you return to regular blogging doesn’t remain a pipe dream!
Congrats on giving up smoking. Despite the alluring scent of pipe tobacco, I’m sure you’ll be better off for having given up.
