I've looked around but have missed the answer to this question: what the heck is 2nd floor, 3rd floor, etc? What milestones do the floors represent? Thx

Each floor is another hundred days. 10th floor would be hitting the comma.

You're up to double digits now. I know you feel great and are proud of your commitment to quit. Keep posting roll and stay on the site when you transition to the new city without the family.

Thanks Done4. Hitting the comma sounds sweet!

I'll be here, even through my transition next week. Sorry to see it's been a tough week for you, but glad to see you hangin strong.

Keep it up brother. Just win each new day. That us the key. It will get very good before long. But for now just win each new today.

6 days. You are kicking some serious nic ass! Hang in there. It gets better.

Thanks Done4.

I actually went in a C store for the first time since my quit today. I didn't even look at the Cope rack (usually my first check upon entering the store so I could see if I could add a can to my gas purchase....my way of hiding the addiction).

I don't even know if they had any in the rack....never checked. Makes me feel like a bad ass! (That in itself is kinda lame.... But after 25 years of that routine, it feels good to get away from it.) The support in here is sick. I want to do this, and everybody here wants me to do it too.

Note to my mom: If everybody jumps off this bridge, then hell yes, I'm jumping right with them. Every last one of them.

Crapper time, that is how my wife knew I had lost on my many prior stoppages! 5 minutes, stopped with chew, 45 minutes, chewing. So we have kind of a built in support crew in that aspect alone! Proud to be quit with you GameCock!

[GameCock01]

Thanks BrettLees. Had some serious cravings this evening, but got thru them (although they are still kinda there....)

I do have a lot of plans to do things with my new found time....Not hiding on the crapper to dip gives me back probably 2 hours a day - and that is no lie...how fucking sad is that? WTF was I thinking? Oh, that's right, I wasn't....

I've got a couple of numbers from guys here, so I've got some firepower at my disposal against the NicBitch. ODAAT is awesome. And that is how I am living right now. But as you mentioned in your post.... I do need to plan ahead... And I will. Gotta learn the area before the family gets there, so that will be a huge focus. And I'm already on here a couple of times a day, and will continue that as much as I can...

Thanks for your post, and your support.

Checking in, let us know how you're doing today.

Thanks Done4. Strangely enough I'm doing damn well. Headache has been my nemesis over the past 2 days, but in order to not give NIC any credit, I chalk it up to allergies. I think my lack of fog is due to my usage pattern. Like i said in the intro, I could go hours without dip, but the minute I needed to hit the can, I needed to hit the Cope can. I bought some jerky dip, and that shit made me laugh...especially since I have been a pouch guy for probably 10 years or more (total guess). I made a huge mess trying to get it into my mouth, had to laugh at myself. I've been drinking a ton of water, so I've actually had movement. (TMI, I know) But the jerky stuff has helped me with my routine. I've had cravings, but have managed to turn them away by moving onto something else.

My real challenge us coming up... I am moving to a new city in about 10 days and will be leaving my family M-F to start a new job. I am going to be living alone until the end of summer, and will have some boredom issues to deal with...right now I can grab one of my kids and say "Let's toss the football or frisbee" like I did yesterday when I had a craving. I DO NOT want to cave, and can't imagine myself having to come in here and tell you guys I failed. As a retired military guy, I know the value of a team, and I want to remain on this one.

Appreciate you checking in, I've been surfing the site a lot...its helpful. Evil Won's intro thread and HOF speech are epic...some good shit on here.

I'll keep you posted.

Hey bro you might have some boredom and lonliness to deal with when you move-- and the nicbitch seems to already be whispering in your ear about that, hinting that she'll keep you company. Plan ahead. AND do a little focus shift- notice how free you're feeling not hitting the pocket to make sure the can is there, not having to worry about spitting, not having to worry about dosing, etc-- already, this early in your quit. And it gets much better!

When you are away, sure you will miss your family--- and you'll still be free of the big albatross around your neck of feeding your addiction! Time on this site is one good thing to do when you're away. Of course there's walking around and exploring the new town too, and all other sorts of things. Main thing is, it's going to be so much better for you free of the binds that have held you down for years. Enjoy that! By that time in your quit, you'll be getting more and more tastes of freedom too- you will have earned them.

Proud to quit with you!

I just purchased my new survival kit, 1 can long cut, one can pouches, 4 cans various snus, 8 packs of sugarless gum...

Survival kit?, sounds more like a death kit. That IS NOT QUIT.

Surely he's talking about fake shit????

I can only hope... but that doesn't sound like it.

TheWolfe - please clarify!

I can't clarify Chewie. I didn't say it, I was calling him out on it.

Odd, somehow these last 2 posts in response to Luna2 are showing up on Gamecock01's intro thread.

Looks like Luna2 posted in this thread. Anyway Luna2 looks lost as a mofo with all that cope survival list crap.

Yes, Luna posted here, and I went back to his intro post and asked him about his survival kit. Maybe he addresses it in his intro?
