This weekend I will be fishing - like every weekend and that is one of the toughest times for me. Chewing just goes so well with Fishing. I have the Beef Jerky tins ready to go, and some sunflower seeds. Does anyone else have any other recommendations, maybe mentally when you get the urge to have one. Anything I can do?
Thanks.
Well, unless you got bumped off today's October roll call, you should probably be posting over there pretty quick, since this is what day 3 for you.
Get some numbers of guys you can call/txt so they'll post your promise. And call/txt early. Giving your word at 11:30pm isn't a promise not to dip that day. The day is over.
Finally, do you really need to go when you're 3 days into your quit? What's your priority? Catching fish, or keeping quit? I don't fish, so maybe I don't get it.
If you need someone to post for you, PM me and you can have my number.

Gen,
Like most of us here, for me dipping was synonymous with everything, driving, taking a shower, taking a shit, cutting the grass, sitting at my desk. Learning to break these associations is just part of being quit.
The good news is that once you do an activity once without dip, it gets easier the second time, easier the time after that, and so on. It sounds like you have stocked up on substitutes. That is a good first step. Also, I would advise not drinking....there is no need to give the nic bich a leg up on you.
Get some phone #'s. If you are about to snap and don't think you can make it...call a quit brother and talk through the situation.
If you are with someone that dips and they offer after knowing you have made an awesome decision to quit....well then gladly accept their offer and then dump their can in the lake.
Other recommendations. Give your word to your group...keep your word. And about the best thing I got...most importantly don't put that shit in your mouth.
