All right,, time for some more half redneck intellect. Once again someone's post got me thinking. JOBS AND HOBBIES!
I remember early in my quit my two worst fears were driving and my hobby fishing. I had driving beat quick. It was something I had to do and after a week or so it was clear that the poison never helped. It didn't help me stay awake, drive straight, deal with traffic better, and it didn't help get the job done easier. The vehicle didn't need it,, gas, oil and water and I was on the move. It didn't run better with the spitter on the console. It didn't smell better. Like I said this was easy to beat,, This was something I do everyday.
Fishing was a different story. I was very concerned with fishing. My first fishing trip came a few weeks after my quit began. I was leary of fishing (lesson hear new quitters (make sure your ready when hobbies come). I was and am making this quit the most important thing in my life so fishing took a back seat for a little while. When I finally got out there it was an eye opener. I found out the poison didn't help me load and unload the boat. It didn't help me cast or catch. What it did for me was absolutely nothing. Fishing trip was over and I had one more hurdle. I didn't catch but a couple and my friends would ask what my catch was. Without blinking an eye I was still able to add a few pounds to my catch and maybe a fish or two. Embellishing the fishing trip was not a problem.
The point,, WE DON'T NEED IT NEVER DID!!! I QUIT WITH ALL OF YOU TODAY!!!
