  6. Day One is going well so far! I keep catching myself heading back to the spot I normally smoke during the winter. Then I distract myself by going somewhere else or doing something different. I'm positive right now! Watched one and a half hours of Joel's videos this morning. I've watched many of them multiple times in the past. The one titled "Waiting to bottom out" really described my thinking ( or attitude ) towards quitting smoking. I've been waiting on some bad news ( health-wise ) to force me into quitting. I talk my doctor into running certain tests on me thinking something will show up that forces my hand. Now that is just more proof of how messed-up my thinking about this addiction is. As he explains hitting bottom with smoking can be crippling or deadly. Waiting for a health problem to happen in order to convince yourself to quit may be to late to help at all. I believe him! Have a Great Day! Jeff

  10. What you are experiencing is often called "junkie thinking." As nicotine addicts, our mind is constantly trying to trick us into seeing some value to smoking so you can get your next fix. This psychological addiction is sometimes harder to fight than the physical one but the only thing you get out of a cigarette is that next nicotine fix. The fact that you are waiting for bad news to force you into quitting shows how messed up the addiction is. Fight through this. In time, things will get better. You just have to realize that nothing at all positive comes from smoking. It is solely about feeding a deadly addiction. Congrats on doing so well with Day 1. You can do this!

  11. Happy New Year Jeff, I'm glad your day 1 is going well. Joel's videos have helped a lot of people so I'm happy they're helping you too Your dr. is right, I'm glad you didn't wait until a health issue forced you. The damage may already be done as I found out the hard way.... Don't be me! Stay smoke free

  12. You are doing good fluffyyellowduck. Anyway you can pass the time without smoking is a good thing. Things will get better. I'm coming up on 9 months quit in a couple days and trust me when I say it. It does get easier with time. You might get an occasional craving but it will be much easier to just push them aside. Have faith in yourself.

  27. Thanks for the Happy New Year wishes, @JH63 I wish you a Happy New Year too. Quitting smoking will definitely guarantee a healthier new year. I suggest sticking around here and finally quit for good. I know it can be tough but the people here can attest that quitting smoking is definitely doable and is worth it.

  28. HI! I'd like to wish everyone here a great New Year! I haven't posted here for a long time, but I have been lurking. I have decide to start my New Year with a new quit attempt. This past year I didn't smoke for 121 days total, seven different quits. The longest for 31 days the rest for various lengths of time. Nicotine addiction has a death grip on me. My health is getting steadily worse all the time. Shortness of breath, poor circulation in my legs and feet, I've already got a pacemaker. With any normal person that would be enough to motivate them to quit for good, not just stop for awhile and then go back to it. But not me! That nicotine monster is embedded into my brain 50 years deep. I know that I have to do this myself, for myself. I've known this since I quit drinking almost three years ago. Either way it goes it's on me. There is no substitution for my own willpower. I have a quit plan, but it doesn't very much from past quit plans. I'll let you know how things go. Take Care! Jeff

  33. Yes, it is about money. Couldn't agree with you more about investment groups and metrics. Metrics were what was used to argue that the Jose Quintana deal made sense at the time. Javier Baez's contract comes up at the end of next season, as does Kris Bryant's and Anthony Rizzo's. It is assumed Bryant will be gone. Rizzo and his agent tried to negotiate a "team friendly" contract extension last off season and the front office delayed it. It will be interesting to see what happens to Baez who is the face of the franchise now. It doesn't look good.

  37. Thank you! This has been an amazing 7 years! Without this site and the help of its wonderful members I don’t think the outcome would have been the same. If you are lurking and thinking of joining, do it! It is worth it. Next year at this time I will be quit and have a new title added to my name BSN, RN. All of this snowballed from quitting at that point in life quitting was the hardest thing that I had done. Conquering that obstacle gave me the courage to conquer my fear of going back to school at my age.

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.
