Here's why last night was my first big test.
I know staying away from situations where you would normally chew is important in the quitting process, especially for newbs. I needed this in my life though.
Now that it's getting dark early one of the gun clubs I'm in holds a monthly night shoot. These things are about as much fun as you can legally have with your pants on.
Lots of shooting, suppressors, lasers, sometimes machine guns, runnin' & gunnin', learning new techniques, gear to look at. All done with helmet mounted night vision gear.
This event is full of guys who dip and I'd easily go thru at least a can and a half at past events, in my addict mind it the the awesomeness of this event even better.
Also, at the end after clean-up we'd sit around have a few beers & smoke a cigar.
Happy to report I kept my quit in tact last night and feel a ton better for it this morning.
If I could figure out how I’d post a few pics from past shoots.
