  5. I decided to quit all of a sudden when I had one cigarette left in the pack. Said to myself that this is the time, smoked the last one and haven't looked back. Do not have them around.

  9. Get rid of them angeleek, you don't smoke anymore! And your brother certainly doesn't need them either! That being said, I have known a few quitters who kept some cigs after they quit but not for the reasons you said. They kept theirs as a type of mind over matter. They quit smoking and it didn't matter that there were cigarettes in the house. You on the other hand are keeping them in case you decide to "light one up" which is a dangerous mindset this early in your quit so yes, soak them and then throw them away.

  12. It's official, after only 33 days on the market and a thirty day close we've sold my mom's house! Huge relief and burden off my shoulders as executor of the trust. It was so hard dealing with a brother who wouldn't communicate with us and totally thought we were shorting him on his inheritance. All he cared about throughout this process was the money which was really sad.... Add to that these medical issues and it was overwhelming at times. Doing happy dance!!!

  14. You don't smoke. You are dealing with a deadly addiction. Cigarettes should not be any part of your life in any way. Destroy them. Here's what Joel Spitzer has to say, What Should I Do With My Leftover Cigarettes Carrying Cigarettes Keeping Cigarettes To Deal With Stress

  22. Lucky ha ! You know how many times you been here and you let yourself down, one more time you let yourself down and this chain wont stop ever. Dont do stupid things and remember the worst thing is life is "regret". Try to imagine yourself as one of those old smoking man who can be burdensome to others, remember you don not want to live that stingy life matcha !

  24. Trash them! Right now! Soak in water and throw them out. Having them in easy reach if you get a crave is a relapse waiting to happen. Being forced to leave the house and buy more will make you think twice before smoking, hopefully you’ll remember why you quit.

  28. I have a case of the post-nicotine blues! I think it's my nicoti e receptors leveling off and my natural dopamine production regulating itself. I knew this would happen from a prior quit. The cool thing is it won't last much longer with spring arriving now and summer around the corner. I have accepted just feeling a little ho-hum for a while. Peppered with moments of Karate-squeal-pose, "I am OFF the cigarettes!!"

  30. V. Cool @notsmokinjo. I saw him here in 2006. I was working the show as a volunteer at the Contemporary Arts Center. It has a very small (200 seat) theater and I got to sit on the side of the stage. It was incredible. What a grand gentleman, what a player. The sound was exquisite. A night to remember.

  33. I know there are a few threads already about the unexpected gains we got from quitting BUT I'm too lazy to go hunting, besides when ya do you tend to fall down a rabbit hole of rereading some bloody good posts...well I do..anywho ..was reading an old post and it got me thinking (no it did not hurt)... Did quitting change who I am? Has it opened life opportunities that weren't there previously? Yes quitting made me different I'm now a nonsmoker. But it also made me different in other ways...and I think to some extent that evolution is still happening. I mean we spend our whole existence changing and evolving but I defo reckon that quitting spun me into a completely different trajectory...and ya know wot?, It ain't half bad. I see lots of peeps post between months 3-7 of their quit...it's made me different...it's changed who I am...yep...it does...and looking back over all the characters I've met here on the train it's true for all of us...some it's softened the hard edges of, some it's toughened up...some it's allowed to grow up..and some it has allowed us let go. Noone has escaped. Ok so I'm 2+ years in and in some ways im still settling into my new skin...but I am different and I'm better for it, my life is better for it, in many, many ways...ways that had I still been smoking it certainly wouldn't be. I kinda reckon the triggers you go through in ya quit are the lessons you need to master...for me it was all the emotional stuff from growing up that when it'd touch the surface I'd chase away with a durry...that was gone so I had to deal...and it may be takingbme a fair wack of time to do so but I have learnt I am worthwhile just the way I am and if someone else doesn't think so it's no skin off my nose an it's their loss. I've quit suppressing me and all my crazy...nerdy...oddness cos let me tell you, you don't like it then keep on movin mate cos your opinion of me doesn't define me. Quitting smoking gave me that. So the point is newbies an inbetweenies...don't be scared of the changes ..embrace them...grow...because you will still be you..just different..and that is good.

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.
