So Wendsday my son and I were sitting in a field after a two mile walk in to one of my favorite hunting spots. My son 7 and i were sitting there waiting for a deer to step out in the field. This was to be his first deer. We never did see that deer but we got to spend some amazing time together. so today i start day 1 so my family (wife,son,and daughter) And can have many more years of these times.

Deer hunting is so much better without a dip in your mouth. So is everything else.
Congrats on your decision. Post up, read and get involved. I promise you won't regret it.

Congratulations on a fine decision. I can vouch for redtrain about hunting. I get all my critters with a toothpick in my mouth now, and it's even more rewarding.
Remember that this quit has to be for YOU above everything else. If it's based solely on your family, you might use them as an excuse to fail or fail to get back at them for something. As odd as it may sound, that's the standard functioning of the addict mind. I think you've got your heart in the right place.
Stay focused on your quit, absorb everything here, and take it one day at a time. As the days rack up, you might even get to be there when your great grandson takes his first. The possibilities are endless without a lip full of death. Welcome aboard, buddy.

I relate, I've spent many days this fall with my 4 year old grandson hunting. Earlier we got our first kill a nice pronghorn and experiencing this with him and without the bitch was so fun. Family is a good motivator but ultimately the quit is on you, reach to us for help or someone to get pissed at. If we didn't have a tough skin we wouldn't be quitters! Pm me if I can help.

Nice job hound. More time with the kids is a good reason to quit. I'm excited for you - once you're through the fog, you'll start to see HUNDREDS of screwed up ways that nicotine was pulling your strings.
Let me know if I can help.

Congrats-- keep your family in mind when ypu make your daily promise. However, make sure you do this every day for you first with your family as your inspiration.
Be badass!
