Super Bowl Monday....

6 3 57

Good morning EXers!

How great was that super bowl!? I actually got to enjoy the entire game without going outside to choke down a butt in the cold back porch....Heck I even got to watch the whole halftime show...and as a "Crusty Ole Biker" you can bet I enjoyed every twirkin second of that performance....(good thing I started on my blood thinners last week), my friends were all telling me to settle down & not have a heart attack...I was sitting in the center of the room just six feet away from a super giant screen TV...best seat in the house...bar none...

It was a great weekend of not smoking and enjoying the gorgeous spring like temperatures in early February. Heck, I think I am going to straddle the Iron Pony tonight for a couple of hours...A friend of mine just told me last Saturday that he bought a home just a few blocks north of Duvall Street in Key West...He's going to become an official "snowbird" now. I told him to be prepared to have a house guest from time to time....I just love Key West. He is living my dream for sure.

So now it's back to the grind...Monday is calling and I need to get it in gear. I have contractors working on a large project already, and I need to get over there and make sure everything is going as planned. Enjoy your Monday (smokefree that is...)

Hi, and thanks for stopping by to read my page....My name is Ken Bishop...aka, Pops. I am a stubborn older addict of nicotine....I have quit on numerous occasions in the past, and have experienced great rewards as a direct result of not ingesting deadly toxins into my bloodstream. One of the curses of having a strong constitution that seems to be able to withstand much more than others can...is this...my body would still be able to move around, and get things accomplished even after I was poisoned by the harmful effects of nicotine addiction. Eventually, the harm became so significant, that not even I, with all of my denial...could avoid the truth that to continue to smoke, would most assuredly be the death of me, and in short order as well. On Sept 1st, of 2018...I found myself in a rehab facility for alcohol abuse, and came very near death. I quit messing around, and had a deep and moving spiritual encounter, and have remained sober without one single urge to pick up a drink since. That was after consuming copious amounts of booze for many years in the past. After a short while.. I asked for spiritual help from my creator to make it possible for me to get the same amount of conviction towards finally being able to successfully put down nicotine once and for all...As of....(September 14th, 2019)...I have 17 days of living smokefree! Woo Hoo!!! Friends and family are all very proud and happy for me. They have asked me what I thought was the turning point, after having experienced so many failed attempts before. I simply reply, "I took the God Shot". xoxoxo Pops update: in Dec of 19 when the stock market started going nuts...I used that as an excuse to start smoking again. I see-sawed back and forth for severa months, and when the COVID crisis hit, I simply lost all desire to be smokefree...I was going to smoke & that was final. Well, as always...the pains of excessive injestion of nicotine into my blood stream...(one puff is all it takes) started affecting my everyday life again...I knew I had to quit placating my inner child and grow up and accept a life without nicotine. The normal person would read this and say well duh...finally he's getting it. But the normally addicted nicotine addict would understand...weird huh? So now I'm back with a new quit date of July 8th, 2020 & am hoping that I can accept that as a perfect quit date that does not need to be changed. Thanks for reading and good luck to you in your quit journey. Pops w 4 DOF!
