Usually we wait till winter to start the meetings but maybe you need to review the 12 step program early Mello. :tongue:


Tunaholic 12 Step Program


Tunaholic Serenity Prayer:

”God grant me the serenity to accept the fact I cannot go out for tuna today, the courage to live another day without tuna, and the wisdom to know they will come again.”

12 Steps To Recovery

1) Put the poles down and slowly back away.

2) Stop hiding lures in various places thru out the house.

3) Never mistakenly call your spouse "Tuna" during lovemaking.

4) As hard as it is to believe, not everyone enjoys tuna fishing.

5) Selling your car in order to buy more gas to go tuna fishing is not recommended.

6) There are other fish in the sea, I think .

7) Leaving work daily to get home and accept packages from UPS/FedX is wrong.

8) No more telling your spouse the truck broke down while you were out fishing so you'll have to stay another day, or in extreme cases a week.

9) If extreme withdrawals have set in, for instance random "hook setting" while at work or home, or making the zzzzzzzzzzzz sound constantly, do not let the tunaholic near any fishing articles like magazines, fishing gear, or boats as that will make matters worse.

10) Tuna fishing is not a replacement for eating.

11) Unlike AA, recovery should be made away from other tunaholics. Gathering tunaholics will only create more problems.

12) It is not acceptable to miss your child's birth because you were out tuna fishing. (My wife told me that one)

HI STEVE! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] Welcome friend...
If the 12 step reminder doesn't help? Ju st keep saying to yourself "serenity now, serenity now" and you will find an O.K. place that can passify until you can get out again.
I am at to the point where I go fishing when I'm away on business. I tell my employer it's a business expense.....Is that wrong?

Rod,
I hope things are going well on the boat...See you out there soon I hope.
