Bday give away
« on: May 01, 2009, 11:22:00 AM »
Turned 46 yesterday,and have 45 days of no smoking under my belt, after 25 yrs @ a pack and 1/2 a day.

 To celebrate (and thank everyone) I would like to make a custom vertical bow rack for someone, I can't post pictures, because I will need to know how many bows (up to 10) and how wide the winner wants it made (6' max).
 It will look like a giant arrow with either a oversized Razorhead or Deadhead BH, shaft and fletching colors are also up to winner.
Mounting hardware included.

Hope everyone puts there name in the hat.
My son will pick a name next Friday night (5/08)

Thanks for all the help over the years

Kurt- Happy Birthday and kudos on the habit. Got down to 1/2 pack per day and can't get past the last hurdle myself. I've done some stupid things in my life but smoking has to top everything else. Oh, yeah, put my name in the pot and thanks.                   Grant Young

Happy bday Kurt! Glad to hear your leaving he smokes behind you! It was Copenhagen for me, I gave it up for the last time fifteen years ago. It's mono e mono man, kick their butt!
 I would love a chance at your custom bow rack, thanks and remember just when you think you can let your guard down is when you have to be the toughest.  Greg

Congrats Kurt

Quittin' Smokin' ain't so hard...I done it hundreds of times.  Staying quit...now that's another issue.

One piece of advice that I think evryone will agree on.  Once you have quit, never, never, never touch another one.  If you smoke one, just to see how it will be, you will be smokin' again.  I know this from first hand experience, again, and again, and again.

Many X smokers will tell you that they could pick one up right now, no matter how long they have quit.  If you do...you're done.

Remember, you're not an X Smoker...you're a Smoker in recovery...for the rest of your life.

Put my name in.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

My experience quitting for good was 12 years ago.I watched my father in-law suffer and eventually die from emphysema.I did eventually smoke a cigerette after a couple months and even though I thought I really wanted one it reminded me why I quit.The best advice I can give you is make the habit NOT smoking and it will be easier.

  YOU CAN DO IT!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

     Add me to the list. Thanks Ron

Two things
This is not the bow rack, made with broken bows.It is a oversize looking arrow with places for your bow's to hang vertically.

Anyone trying to quit any nicotine product, try chantix.It is amazing.
 
             Thanks Kurt
