Bad habits while fishing

I was wondering if anyone else has a bad habit that coincides with fishing season.
I started chewing tobacco 33 years ago while fishing with a buddy who chewed. Back then it was Red Man. At the end of the season I just stopped. By late April early May I would be fishing and jonesing for a chew.
Now 30 years later I am using 5-7 tins a week of Copenhagen during the season. I quit at the end of the season and start again in the spring. During the season I chew all the time, even off the water. So, as this season is coming to an end in the next week or two, I have to quit again and experience the same troublesome task of stopping my addiction.
Once the initial withdrawals are gone, I am fine and do not crave a dip between the cheek and gum. I know from my past 30 + years of the nasty habit that come next year I will be back at it. Thankfully, my teeth, gums and mouth are fine (so far), but that too could change.
Besides sleep deprivation, spousal neglect and household chores that get put on the back burner until the poles are away for the season, what other bad habits do you folks have that pop up every season?

1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN.

I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock.

2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.
