Congrats on reaching the 4th floor bro!  Proud to be battling in the trenches with you today.  ODAAT.  Quit on!
That's right, many of us behind you tying to put our steps exactly in the tracks you leave. Following you brother! Congrats.
Badass, right there! Rock on Shawn!
Srans,
What can I say but bad ass and I get to be the first to give you these 'BanDog'
Keep leading the way!
Congrats!!!
nice work, keep it up brother!
Way to go! You're a pillar of quit to many of us- keep it going!
DAMN!!!! YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN!!! AND AN INSPIRATION. I AM GLAD PEOPLE LIKE YOU LEAD THE WAY!
FULL MOON WEEK HERE ON KTC!

There have been brothers returning in flocks after caving. At least 2 after HOF. One after 800+ days... that one came back with a reason of caving because he was driving on slick roads. WTF?

Then we have a man like SRANS. For those of you new to the site, who are experiencing the madness of this full moon week in June 2014 - it would be worth your time to read his intro. Today is day 400 for him. 400 days of rock solid quit. Did he struggle at first? Hell yes! Did he stick with the plan? Every damn day! When SRANS gives his word, we all know that he means it.

He might live in Florida, but if this man decides to drive on slick roads, he won't cave. He gives his word, pays it forward and backward everyday, and keeps racking up wins.

You wanna know how to quit - you wanna win? SRANS is the man with the plan.
Congrats on reaching the 4th floor!

People like you keep reminding me that this is doable!
Way to go srans. How's the view from the 4th floor? Save me a spot. Though I will never catch you, I am proud to follow in your footsteps. Even if you do live in Florida.
You continue to inspire me.
Quit on, Brother!
Brave men are honored, rich men are envied, powerful men are feared, but only a man with character is trusted

Quote from: srans
A good freind of mine ended his own life last night.

A chew won't help me right now. 
A chew won't make my friend come back. 
A chew won't ease the pain.
A chew won't help me get through this day or the next.

I'll be QLF all day long.  I don't give a sh@@ what else happens this day!
Can't read that ^^^ and not offer condolences and support. Wish I had some magic words for you. I will tell you this, you are a pillar of my quit and I have no doubt you are QLF as you pledged above. Take care of yourself and those around you this weekend.
omg brother, hang tight

thoughts out to you and yours from me and mine.
Dammit.

Sorry, Shawn. There are no words. They're all too small.

Peace brother.
Really sorry to hear that srans. Hang strong today and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

I am quitting with you all day long!
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers...
Thoughts and Prayers Shawn for you and the Families
srans I am so sorry to hear that. My prayers for you and the family.
You continue to inspire me. QLF with you!
I echo what everyone else has said Shawn. You have a lot of fans here. Peace to you Brother!
Keeping you and yours in my prayers my friend.
Fuck. So sorry to read this. Stay strong as you can, get help if you need it. You deserve anything you need to get through damned tough curves life throws your way, because you pay it foward so much. Prayers with you and your friend's family.
Thoughts and prayers to you and his family, Srans.
SRANS the act was a tragedy but your strength and endeavor to persevere is admirable. I am sorry for your loss if you need anything I am just a phone away.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.... We are here srans, One Day at a time....... every day when you need us.... Robbie
You've got my number as well, and while I know you are a rock of hatred when it comes to nicotine, I hope you'll reach out even if it is just to talk about this or anything else.

The response that you've gotten today speaks volumes as to the respect this brotherhood has for you. Today we share in your loss.
Damn! I'm sorry to hear this. I have no words of encouragement that would actually change how you feel. But you are a man of resolve so I know you will be ok as far as nicotine is concerned. If you need anything feel free to reach out. We got your back even if all you need is to yell. You got my prayers bro.
Prayers and thoughts for you and the family. You can make it through this. Lean on your quit network, these folks love you in a sincere way and will help
Thoughts and prayers with you in this difficult time. You've got the right mindset, though. A chew won't help.

Thanks for all the kind words on my intro and texts gentlemen.  This is the second time in my life I've had someone take their own life.  First time it was explainable to some point.  He was in a lot of pain and having many medical issues.

This time there is NO answers! 

Look around today at your family and friends.  Appreciate what YOU have and ask YOURself what YOU can do to make things better.  You hold the key.  One person affects so many lives.  Quit with all of you today.
Prayers sent up bro. Not sure I can do or say anything more.
Wow brother, hang in there, I am not worried about you dipping, I am worried about you. I know this sucks, I've had it happen to me 3 times now. Your correct in the fact there is nothing you can say to justify it. Try to find some peace brother, I hate like hell your going thru this.
