  4. Thank you all for your very motivating advice comments. I'm now officially back on my Smoking Cessation Programme, hence my Quit. I'm also doing it Cold Turkey, with no NRT whatsoever. You're right, I was a very naughty Aspie in my poorly implemented decision to smoke this morning and then irresponsibly pass the buck on to my Caregiver. Shane on me! I want to let you all know that I value this internet resource and the fine people participating in it. NOPE forever!

  8. Hello everyone, I wanted to let everyone know I am still here and I am keep my precious quit. The holidays and the past month, I have been in a funk - and I can say not smoking during the holidays did put me in a bad mood etc, and off and on I sometimes just had to excuse myself from the festivties and get my head straight and focused. But through all the ups and downs of my 2 and half month quit - I know I want this - and so not a puff of a cigarette has crossed my lips!!! YAY - Knowing I have all of you in my corner has helped me stay focused - knowing I did not want to come here and admit I smoked helped me keep my quit so to all of you THANK YOU!!!

  11. Yeah, I didn't think of that but now I am thinking about it, I do recall other companies doing the same eg. hotel/restaurant reviews etc. It would be interesting to know the actual ratio of fake vs real. In any event, they're all bad or bonkers.

  12. You must make the commitment to yourself to Never Take Another Puff, Not One Puff Ever. This is the only way you will conquer the addiction. Your carer was wrong but, it was...it is YOUR responsibility completely and YOUR choice to stick something in your mouth and light it on fire. It is all up to YOU. Smoke or be free. Please, educate yourself about nicotine addiction. This is the arsenal you need to win. Every time you want a smoke, go learn something about your addiction. We have a great library here. If you need help getting around the site you may find this thread helpful 10 Ways To Effectively Use This Forum To Stop Using Nicotine and pay special mind to our friend, Joel Spitzer's Library including Daily Quitting Lesson Guide Use your abilities to focus in on building a successful quit. You have access to terrific information and support from a wide selection of successful quitters. Take full advantage of both and you can get out of yourself a bit by helping and supporting others as well. As our friend, Sirius, asks, "The next time a craving plunks down on your face ask yourself, "What price you are willing to pay to own yourself?"

  14. I haven't done very well with my smoking cessation in the last day and a half. My Nicorette Quickmist mouth sprays were declined yesterday for my own good because of my taking too much and becoming dependent on them. I've got no choice but to quit nicotine cold turkey. I feel really unwell and my bodily sensations feel numbed by the excessive withdrawal from nicotine. And I feel really jumpy and depressed. What an evil drug nicotine is! And thank goodness for the blocking of my personal allowance. At least I can't buy cigarettes!

I thank you all for you have been such a blessing and have done more for me than you will ever know. The support and socializing have been amazing and contributed so much to my quit. Stay the course and stay strong for the quit -- the journey has been and will be worth it!!!!!!!

  21. It is so much better to just stop the nicotine. Shame on your caregiver! It only takes a couple of days to rid your body of nicotine. You have the right idea of going for a walk. The first couple of days may be tough but are so worth saying goodbye to the nicotine. Just keep yourself focused on the end result and you will be able to do this.

  22. You can get really charged up by quitting smoking. You will be changing your life so much for the better ! The benefits are enormous and continue throughout your life. You will have quantum leaps in self respect, self confidence, self esteem and will have earned a profound trust in yourself. These are some of the gifts you will give yourself by becoming free of nicotine addiction. Sure, you may have some difficult moments but, nothing you cannot handle. You have the ability to quit. I hope you make the commitment, John David Baker. It will be one of the best decisions of your life. I quit cold turkey. Nicotine is pretty much out of your body in a few days. Then, it is a matter of changing your patterns and putting your brain to work for you. It isn't complicated. Not One Puff Ever.

  23. I can't help but think that not only are there true believers in nicotine addiction but, that the tobacco industry may have a v. large hand in this. Big Tobacco relies on people addicted to their products and would not hesitate to set up these sites and troll them ardently.

  25. Think about how much better your future holidays will be. Not having to separate from family and friends to get your fix. Not having to deal with the nagging nicotine withdrawal. Not sure how many others did this, but I used to stockpile cigarettes before the holidays because the stores kept different hours during that period. The holidays, and the other days for that matter, are much better without cigarettes. You've done a great thing for yourself Heather. The bothersome aspects of quitting are temporary. The freedom of being a non-smoker is permanent.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
