So yesterday my neighbors daughter celebrated her birthday so we stopped over. My neighbor has his own dirty little secret, his wife knows but his daughter doesn't. He's not a dipper. It he likes a cigar every now and then. At least it used to be every now and then. Now it's a daily occurrence. Any how, I will work on him later with that. Last night we had a few beers and he lit one up. I will admit I do like the smell but that's it. He looked at me, smiled and asked if I wanted one. Didn't even hesitate. Hell no was my answer. My first though was the almost 200 days of quit going down the shitter. My next though was how it would have been a slap in the face to all of you. I love being quit and there was no way I could have caved because I posted roll and promised all of you that I would remain clean.

WOW. It's been over 2 months since I posted in my intro. Today is day 175 for me and I am thankful for all my brothers and sisters here on KTC. What has changed in my life since June 8th? Not a lot really. Summer has been busy with camps for the kiddos, camping, fishing, hanging out at the lake, doing yard work, etc, etc, etc. The biggest difference between this year and summers before is that I am still free from nicotine and LOVING it. I have had a few funks and foggy days since my last post but for the most part they have been pretty mild. All I can say is this: "Life is way better without nicotine". All the things I mentioned earlier used to have dip involved with them but no longer. I can fish all I want and the nic bitch knows she is NOT welcome. Trust me, she has tried to creep back into my life but I have learned (with the help of my KTC family) how to keep her out of my life. Summer used to be fun but now summers are GREAT. Everything is better when you are no longer a slave to a can.

Two things to remember:
1). You see her (the NB) in a store, flip her the bird and say "Not today Bitch"
2). She whispers in your ear, tell her to Eff Off.

Stay involved, Stay Quit
Great to hear Raider! Keep at it today brother!
I went fishing this morning. Isn't it grand to be free of that whore. I didn't think about her once while fishing. Quit with you Raid!
Thanks for commenting Derk and Doc. Not having to think about it is awesome. No more thinking "shit, will this can last me the rest of the day?" Everything is easier and better without her. Glad to be quit with you guys.
Keep it up Raider. Enjoy the freedom, hate the poison!
Ur crushing it Raider. Didn't ever think you would do anything less! Quit with you today....again!
Quitting is soooo much easier when you have brother/sisterhood and accountability. You lose those, you lose. Keep em held tight and you can only succeed.
Always great to read your perspective-- new quitters, pay attention to this guy!

Hey bro, I'm back for a moment to congratulate you on your Hall of Fame here at KTC. Please don't take this lightly, it's not just another day. this is your day to shine and your day to celebrate you winning.... You haven't won, but you are winning. I know you understand what I mean. Here's the deal. If you can stay off of a roof for the next 72 hours and stay quit at the same time, I will have a reward/gift/surprise for you . We talk later.... Chris
Thanks Mogul. And thank you for reaching out on that evening. Our conversation changed my attitude and for that, I am grateful. BTW, no plans for any roofing till my dumb ass self decides it's time to get stupid again. I also understand the winning vs. won concept. This is a battle we will never fully win but with the right attitude we will always be winning. Just gotta stay +1 step ahead f the NB.
Congrats Raider. Enjoy your day it is a great accomplishment. Quit on!
Congrats Raider. Well done! Keep it it rolling today!
Well done, Brother. See ya at 200.

You "get" it Raider! Congratulations on HOF, and even more so for drinking the kool-aide. You are now a grizzled veteran to a lot of newbs! Enjoy the hell out of your freedom today.
Congrats on the triple digits raider. Not only a badass quitter taking back his freedom, this guy stays involved in his group, on the forums, and in chat. Never had a doubt you'd make it to the Hall bud. QLF
Thanks everyone for the kind words. Just trying to imitate the bad ass quits that came before me.
Raider congrats. Your posts are great, and KO put it really well very glad you found your way here. Bring back the fisherwoman tho. 'boob'
Better? Once again, I'm sure she knows nothing about fly fishing. But with an @$$ like that, who cares.
