Thanks! I sure will, this weekends the first that I won't take a dip in 10 years. The hubby's cooking halibut tonight, going to enjoy that without the "after high". It's actually nice not to have to find a spitter or clean up after that crap. I'm free and clear, just a little cranky...
Glad to have you and glad to be quit with you. If you need anything PM me.

Damn, where do you live that you can have fresh halibut?

Ready, yep; I was born ready. I came shooting out that woman like a rocket. I quit for life :) and soooo happy I did!
That says more about your mothers anatomy than we care to know. :unsure:

Yeah, probably was a little TMI; thought it would make a few people laugh though. I'll try to keep it PG from now on... Going to bed, still quit. See you all in the morning; AK time. Nite.

Ok, pulling out the blonde card... I posted roll for 7/30/11 and I'm in AK time. Its only 8:22pm Friday right now. Saturday 7/30/11 is day 7 for me, just wanted to make that clear without fucking up the roll call deal again... sorry about that by the way.

Playing big-buck hunter tonight... kicking my man's ass by the way! hehe
Post when it is appropriate for you. We aren't that concerned about when it happens as long as your commitment stands.



Have you tried Cabelas Dangerous hunts with the gun accessory and stuff? It is a lot of fun but more like an arcade than the others.
Agree - Post early and often. You'll figure out what works for you and what's consistent with your group.

Keep shootin'...
The love you get here is conditional. The condition is that you are quit.

The first thing that has to be done on Sat and Sun mornings is.

POST ROLL

That way nicotine is 100% off the table the whole day.
And then spend as long as necessary mesmerized by Mrs. MikeA's...assets.

And I found that looking at the cancer pictures really helped. I hadn't seen many before, now that I see them.... I can't believe I put myself in such a dangerous situation.

Everybody is different, I guess. But working out (running or biking), eating Breathsavers, and staying glued to this site worked for me early on. I used to read the Kern family story...you can find a link to it at the top. I could identify with them.

The "contract" also helps...one of the mods can send you a copy. Also, encouraging others really helped my quit. So I would get on here after every meal or other trigger.

Cancer pics scared me, but I had seen those before and I still kept dipping. Reading about the sadness of kids growing up without their father and the struggles that go along with that is particularly effective to me. And I'm up to about 25 miles per week now...best shape since high school baseball...when I started this stupid fucking addiction!
