Day 193 today. Had a great fishing trip over the weekend. My brother and friend were smoking cigars. Just about every fisherman I saw was either dipping or smoking something. Glad I had plenty of seeds and jakes mint.

I was worried about this trip. Yes, I had some craves, but I managed them. Then I heard the news about Tony Gwynn when I got home.

I can now say I have pretty much done all things I could never have imagined doing "without a dip" 193 days ago.
Craves you say, chalk em' up to bad memories of the type of addict you were. You're a quit addict now and bad memories of situations when you used to dip are merely reminders of what it was like to be a slave.

I'm pretty sure your chain of accountability is as strong as they come Banjo; I consider myself one of those links in that chain and knowing that chain...it will not break. Clearly this weekend of slave remembrance was no match for that chain. Proud of you bro
Keep on winning and let the good times roll, banho!
Proud to quit with you!
Nice quittin' Banjo. Keep it up, ODAAT!
Had my first "one of those trips" last month with 5 out of 7 sitting around smoking cigars. Done is done!!! You said it well, "all of those things I cold never imagine..." that is one of the biggest lies our addict mind comes up with. Fact is, most of those things are more enjoyable not being distracted by trying to dip and do them. I am actually learning to use a diaphragm turkey call....lot better without a dip:-) Keep on it!
Isnt it great not spitting in the river? There is something wrong with spitting shit on those trout! QLF with you Steve!

Tonight I met some great quitters: grizzclaws, marcusaurilius, EFNKodiak and Tarp.

Really strengthens the quit.
Good to meet you Banjo. Had a great time with all you fine quitters. Avatar possibility? Too cliche?
