375 = one full year of winning.

Go celebrate with some nachos tonight, but if you decide to bike I'd be careful on the ice! Enjoy this huge milestone!
Congrats on 1yr Bike. Nicely done. No biking in the ice though
I actually love bicycling on ice just not on the roads. I live a half mile away from the bicycle path that runs alongside the river for over 20 miles one way. I have been out cycling on it when there was anything from ice to 10" of snow on the ground.

Several years ago during a snow storm I was bicycling up that path and as I was passing under a bridge I noted a homeless man standing there. I could not help but notice that he had no gloves on. My goal that day was 20 miles and as I rode by I decided if he was still there when I headed back home I would go buy him a pair of gloves. I got another mile and a half up the path and there was a pair of gloves lying right next to the bicycle path. Now mind you it was snowing like mad. The gloves were dry and lying on top of the snow and still had the packaging with the gloves stapled together. I did not need anyone to tell me what to do with those brand new gloves. I grabbed them up and turned my mountain bike around and rode back to that bridge. The man was still under there and was so happy to get a pair of gloves. I believe those gloves were placed by God to be on top of the snow, brand new and still dry.
That is so awesome ! Reading that made my day. Good work brother. Very proud to be quit with you! We'll done.
Things happen for a reason. You found those gloves for a reason. You found ktc for a reason.

Congrates on 350 days of Bad Assed Quit! Enjoy your last big round number quit day before 1 year.
Thanks Matt, I thought today about when I joined this site and I had so much admiration for vets who already had over 300 days quit. Now I just consider 350, a year to be a step. I have already proclaimed a comma to be my next goal. I chewed cat dung for 31 years and realize I can't stop quitting after a year or two. My past experience as an alcoholic has actually helped me here. I have not had a drink of alcohol for 21 years but realize one slip is all it would take for a downward spiral. Tobacco is he same way. One dip and the addiction has returned.
Winning is too sweet dude. Congratulations!
Still one day at a time but 350 is sort of a sweet spot. Congrats brother and thanks a lot for the support! :)

I am still quit. I did buy a few cans of Smokey Mountain a few weeks ago when I was driving a lot of highway trips. I just finished the last of that today and my next goal is to stay off that crap. In the long run it can't be good for you as much as it irritates the inside of the lip.

Agree with Stranger. Good stuff BIC. Keep it up.

I think event the 'veterans' soften over time.

Myself, each day I post my promise i feel a little bit less like a loser for letting tobacco control my life.

You are a bad ass quitter and a good vet. So good that I'll promise to quit with you today!
