At 11:59 pm on new years eve I am saying goodbye to Copenhagen snuff ! Its 7$ a can . Pray for me :D :'( ;D now is anyone else going to give up something or change something ?
Yes, I decided to change my name, but since I cant keep a new years resolution, I have decided to stop changing my name for my New years resolution since by then I will have run out of ideas for new names and its then a resolution I can probably keep. :-\
Good luck on kicking the chew. I can not wait until I work up the strength to quite myself. (Nasty addiction >:()
I am with Jeff OH AH Needles Magee on the resolution thing.

I resolve to stay on my diet. ::) I am in reprieve over the holidays, you see. ;D Last year we did pretty good, this year I have just a few more pounds to shed (like 10-15) and then I will have to try to keep it off. :-\
Good luck on kicking that chew. Yuk!
Several years ago I my New Years Resolution was = No more New Years Resolutions. I haven't broken it yet ;) ;D :) Good luck on quitting the chew. Be persistent about it. Nicotine is a hard addiction to break. There are still times when I'd love a cigarette and it's been 2.5 years since I gave them up.
Corley,
I hate to tell you, but I quit smoking more than 25 years ago and I would still love to have a cigarette at times...
But, I know that they would kill me - as in Amy would immediately shoot me since she is alergic to them. :o

Exactly Once an addict always an addict :(
twill be a tough one for me, but I had a DR's appt today, he wants me to loose 10 more pounds :'( . I have lost 30 in the past 2 years by just working harder to burn off the extra cals, but I'm running out of time to work more, now I might actually have to cut down on eating, NOT SURE THAT WILL BE DO-ABLE! :-\
never chewed, but I gave up cigarettes in 1974 for my wife at mothers day. I took about 20 years before I no longer wanted one if I had a beer with my buddies. Now I think it stinks big time. Good luck, you have a long road but it's rewards are good.
I resolve that this will be the year that I will finally buy a mill :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Procrastination is one of my better skills.............I now have to make up my mind and pull the trigger :o :o
Swinger or band......swinger or band.....swinger or band.......Ohhhh I've got some time yet 8) 8)
Let's see:
1. I resolve in the Spring not to tease anyone about the weather up there. (Winter and Summer are definitely fair game!)
2. I resolve to cut back on my office hours and get more excercise. I figure off-loading with Harold one day a week will get that one done!
3. I resolve to get better at Spanish (don't know how I can avoid that one...)
4. I resolve to eat Grits as little as possible.
5. I resolve to enjoy living in the tropics.
As you can see - I am trying not to strain myself here.
To stop smoking cigars again, I quit for 3 years, drank a little one night and started up again. I need to quit again because these cigars are killing my lungs since I inhale the smoke.
Ooooohhhhhhh Modat.........
Quittin' for the second time is hard..... :o :o :o :o
Good Luck smiley_thumbsup smiley_thumbsup

My wife almost left me the first time I quit, I was quite the vile bugger.
1. Well, it's either quit eating or start exercising this year...and I love to eat too much...so I think it means start exercising. ::)
2. Make sawdust with that mill I bought...AGES ago! Gotta make the time to get her going, and that's one resolution that I will definitely keep!
3. Get more organized!
4. Build at least one piece of furniture before Spring comes--maybe a bookcase. My shop has just been used lately for home repairs, and it's high time I do something FUN in there.
5. Eat more ice cream...which means I need to exercise more, so now, I'm back to the beginning again. ::)
Good luck on quitting the chew and the cigars guys!
1. Cut down on the groceries and beer and get more exercise. My clothes are shrinking faster than ever.
2. Get the heater in the shop so I can get some projects out of the way.
3. Quit procrastinating. No. Wait. That is #1 ;D

Ditto
To quit doing 'bad' things and start savin that money, especially for my son. Even though he is only a little over a year, I don't want $$ to stop him from getting a good education :)
Less working.........more fishing!!!!!
Not as easy as is seems, there is always something that needs "doing" or "fixin".
People tell me I'm a "workaholic" time to prove them wrong!
I need to realize that stuff will still be there when I get home.
Ed
To post more here on the forum.
That's it really ;D
How am I doing so far? :D
Your doing Kevin. ;D
Keep it coming Kevin. 8)
Are you guys going to bump this thread back to the top in another 6 months so we can all see how you're getting on???? ;)
I havent made any resolutions for the past thirty years and it seems to have worked for me : ;D so I guess I'll stick to it.
To the guys quitting smoking - good luck and keep at it - hard I know. I stopped just over 2.5 years ago and as the others have testified find it hardest when drinking. But havent gone back. Makes it easier here in NZ with our new law however - our pubs and clubs are smokefree. Which is awesome specially when you wake up in the morn and your clothes and hair dont stink of smoke :)
Resolution or not - hope all have a great happy and healthy year!
LIL
OOOOH!!!
Sounds like the KISSABILITY Of SEVERAL forumites will increase due to their resolutions! :-* :-* :-*
Buck, with that gorgeous disposition AND a lack of tobbaco breath you'll be POSITIVELY DANGEROUS!!!
hehe
Oh, and, I don't do resolutions coz, well, just coz... hehe
But I will try to be more naughty this year...
asy :D
I resolve to:
Eat more (but not grItz!).
Exercise less.
Procrastinate extensively.
Work less.
Try to be grumpier and disagreeable.
Not make any more resolutions.... :D
Well I see that I am in good company ! :) I have never had any addictions and was always able to walk away from a good night out on the town but this Copenhagen habit is really going to be a toughy but it must be finished and done with and it will be ! Some of you have some fun resolutions dont ya ;) I have one new fresh box of cope I just opened and at 11:59 new years eve I will be all done ,thanks for telling your resolutions . I think youre right asy ,I will be (positively dangerous) to be around :D alteast for the first week ;D . This is me new years eve smiley_bouncing_pinky and then me 3 days later smiley_furious3 and then 7 days later smiley_mad_crazy and then 2 weeks smile_banjoman smiley_clapping
NY has smoke free public buildings now, but a lot of bars still allow it, the only time they say 'go outside' is when 5-0 is around. The general understanding being that if you don't like it, leave, and thats the way its always been so thats how its gonna be (until the fines start rackin up)
We're all barracking forya Buck!!!
Here's a few on appro... :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
asy :D
True story - how I quit smoking.
Back when I met my wife - after she decided I just might be a keeper and worth get serious about, told me straight up - she was alergic to smoke and couldn't be around people who did it.
I decided to quit - but failed. (didn't try too hard) - then, she said "You don't have the will power to quit!"
Well, let me ask you - how do you respond to that?! :o
So, I replied - Okay, if I can go for 2 weeks without a smoking - you have to fix me a steak dinner.
The rest is history, more than 25 years ago. And yes, she figured out just how stubborn I can be. ;D
I don't make resolutions, but I do aim to get back on a regular exercise routine and diet. Weather, viruses, and the holidays have led to my throwing a healthy lifestyle out the window.
Buck, I quit dipping cope about 10 years ago. I just walked away from it. I don't ever remember even having any withdrawl symptoms. However, I could pick it back up today just as though I had never quit. I truly understand what an addiction is as a result. Good luck and hang in there. Keep us posted as to your progress.
I smoke a cigar now and again but have never been addicted to anything.
Well maybe dark chocolate but that doesn't count . I'm in denile :D
Hmmm! Your profile say's your in warren indiana...
Sorry just trying to get an early start on my resolution.
I have never smoked, drank a little around 21 yrs old but just never really cared for it.
Now put a cheese cake down in front of me and I will stab ya with a fork if'n ya try to take a pc. :D
kevin_H
All I have to say is :) "Hank's cheese cake in St. Louis MO". :)
