Day 90
Thought I'd drop in since its been a few days. I've been working night shift as part of my training so I just got off work. I'm only 10 days away now from hof and just wanted to say thanks to all the members of this amazing site. I hope some new quitters read this intro and hopefully some of you can identify with the struggles and victories I've had. This has been an awesome journey, in fact a life changing one. I know that I've only scratched the surface so far, but I'm confident that I can beat nicotine for good. If you stay with the site, post roll every day, get in chat when you need help, and drink a strong dose of the kool aide, you can do this. I have been absorbing this site since I made the decision to quit, everyone would benefit from doing the same. Thank you guys for everything. Now, would you like fries with that?
Glad to be quit with you wrangler. 10 more days and you'll be on that train. I know we are only suppose to take it one day at a time,, but i'm really looking forward to the train ride. It was a goal of mine to make it, but I do realize this ride of life keeps going and the nic bitch will never give up totally. Glad to be quit with you. I'll be right behind you getting on that train.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

What a great quit history. Man you have a lot to be proud of. Keep up the quit, and I will stop in next time I am close to fort smith. SS is an awesome place and your town will eat it up literally. 100 days is a big accomplishment! Proud to be quit with you today, and look forward to seeing you at many more milestones.

Thanks diesel. Shirt and tie, that will be me. Actually that's me right now, it's just not my store. Drove by the construction site, damn they made a lot of progress in a week. They got two months left to finish up so we can open on time. Up to this point, the Steak 'n Shake thing hasn't been real, it's like a dream. Shit is real now, I can see it, and that is creating not only excitement for me and my family but our whole city is talking about it. I'm pumped! Let me say this, you guys are the best! Thank you for this site, stay strong in your quit all of you and I'll stay strong in mine. Today we qlf together.

Day 78
I'm going home today. This is the longest stretch I've ever been away from my wife and kids, 7 days. I'm so excited! Training has been going well, but it feels like I'm almost back to my college ways. I had to take a midterm this week, which I passed easily and also sit down with a regional mgr who then quizzed me for 30 min on all things Steak 'n Shake. Good times lol. Keep up the good fight today boys, don't ever let nic back in. Btw, I'm sneaking up on my hof.
78???? Already???? Hot Damn bro. That. Is....AWESOME

I will alert the ktc tailor to get to work on HOF jacket.

I can picture you at your grand opening welcoming customers in it as you frame your first dollar bill.

Unless...you have to wear the white shirt, black overalls/bowtie, and paper hat combo? Went to s steak n shake the other day though, and I seem to remember one dude in a dress shirt and tie, making sure shit ran smooth. That will be you right? You're strawberry shakes are the BOMB by the way .

Any way, congrats bro and keep up the great work!!!! Enjoy the hell out of your family when you see them. 78 days free of that CRAP is the best gift a man can give.

They should be a proud bunch when you walk through that door for reasons beyond steak n shake. You knowing the secret to making those shakes is pretty damn outstanding though.

Quit on!!!!!

Day 65
I'm home from dallas for a couple of days. Easter weekend is upon us so we're dyeing eggs, getting baskets ready, etc. Many of you who have been reading my intro know I'm building a restaurant. I have ten weeks of franchise training to do before the opening. Unfortunately the training is two hours away so I'm living in a motel through the week and drive home on weekends. I work ten hours a day learning all things fast food, crash course so to speak. Almost everyone I work with speaks Spanish only, except me which adds some additional challenge. Needless to say, I'm extremely happy to be home today and tomorrow. I've had lots of thoughts about dip, especially in the car or after a tough day. I'm never going back, I remember the first three days and how shitty they were. I remember what a douche I was hiding it from my family for so long. I'm proud to be quit and proud to be a part of this site. Happy Easter everyone!
Im still quit with you!

Day 56
I'm in dallas today (McKinney actually) and will be staying here for the next 8-12 weeks while I go through Steak 'n Shake owner/gm training. My sisters husband is joining me in this business venture so at least I'm not alone. It's really strange being away from my wife and kids because we've never been separated. Yesterday was our first training day. It's great not worrying about dip and about your next break so you can get a dip in. I'll try to post more as I have little to do except work. You guys keep up the good work. Several May future hof are over halfway there!
I quit with you today! Good luck with being away from the family!

Day 42 is here. Wow it's been a challenging and stressful week. Tuesday I gave notice that I would be resigning my position as general manager of my local Nissan dealership. I've been there 10 years and it's been sad to say goodbye to lots of friends. It took everybody by suprise which made things more difficult. I never wanted to put a hardship on anyone, but I have to do what is best for my family, and working for a car dealership leaves no time for anything except work. I'll be moving temporarily to Dallas in two weeks to begin 8 weeks of training before my new adventure begins. My Steak-n-Shake store should open about June 1st, about the time I return home. Hopefully I will be able to spend more time (esp weekends) with my wife and 3 kids. I just want to say thanks again to all members here for keeping my quit strong and offering support when I needed it. Being away from my family for 8 weeks will be a unique challenge that I've never faced and I'll need to lean on you guys. Looking forward to this new adventure!
Congrats Quitter!!!! Good luck and I will store it in the GPS when I get down that way!!

I wouldn't have thought that a food franchise operator would have more time than the GM of a dealership, but that just shows how little I know, I guess.

It's a good time for you to be clean, with so many changes. Congratulations to you for your quit and for your new initiative.
