  • Interests: I'm an ol' country boy from Texas: where I started dipping in the 8th grade over 37 years ago. The US Navy brought me to SO CAL in 1985. I got married to So CAL girl and remained here after I got out of the Navy. I love the outdoors; camping, hiking, hunting and fishing but mostly I love to do wood working. I guess now that I am not wasting money on crap I can have more to do the things I like to do.

Wow I decided to go back down the line on the November 2013 Sky Divers and it is just so amazing how many brothers and sisters have just gone away. I I remember a lot of them and remember how some of them caved and how some lied. Now we are down to the Four Horsemen but at least some of us are keeping the faith. Memory lane is funny though.
It takes a strong guy, or gal, to be able to beat this for sure. No more successful way to quit right here, yet the stats  odds still aren't good. Keep the faith brother you're winning!
You know it brother Mike. Keeping the quit strong and forever. 'winker'

Nice 600! Congrats. Proud to be quitting with you.
As someone on day 6, reading your story really gets me fired up to push through the fog and the rage. Congratulations, BearHawk!

Figure it out so that your kids know that they have a strong father who can fight mano a mano against nicotine and not give up. Not many can do that, so show your kids that you are special and that you are making sure to always be their brave and strong dad because you fight every day to ensure that you are with them for as long as possible.

So after 500 days of quit I had put on quiet a few pounds and was at 343 lbs. after the holidays so I have honestly started to get my large butt in motion. As of today I am happy to report the since Jan. 02 I have lost 10 lbs. So 522 days quit and 15 days losing the weight. :D
Congrats on 10 lbs lost!
