  3. Thanks all, calling it day , feeling good and really appreciative for all of you! I know to well the tricks that my mind will play on me, again as long as I know that nicotine is not an option it really takes the drama out of it for me. Physically I feel great, drinking tons of water, sure most of that poison is out of my body already, its just being mentally strong, battle for sure, one of the reasons I'm heading to bed to read and hopefully crash early and prepare for tomorrow. Nicotine demons are like the school yard bully , once you stand up to them and they realize that your not going to take or accept being under its control or power any longer, life is much easier! Don't get bullied, we are in control!!

  6. And I'm a nicotine addict. This was the hardest realization for me to have to admit but once I did my quit got so much easier. Most of us associate addiction with drugs or alcohol but never smoking. Which is ironic because there are 1000's of chemicals in just one cigarette. Chemicals meant to keep us addicted. I owe my success first of all to myself for having the good sense to reach out to others who had or were going through the same journey. I also owe it to the support given by fellow quitters who would tell me when I was thinking junkie thoughts. Thoughts like "why can those people smoke but I cant" or "I'll wait until ______to quit". Excuses given by drug addicts to continue doing what they're doing and my drug was nicotine. There's no shame in admitting it for me now, five plus years quit. I think the sooner you accept that you are the better off you'll be. And the easier your quit will be.

  7. Dear Jillar, I agree with everything you have said. I no longer feel bad or less than because I was an addict. I am doing everything I can to get better. I do not have friends or family that understand my struggle or how hard it is. Here, I have people who know what the heartache and mental battle we face everyday. I quit because of medical reasons, which were bound to come sooner or later. We just keep telling ourselves we are okay when it is far from the truth. I hope long after this young people will come here and see that someday this will happen, stop now, live a long healthy and happy life for you, your children and friends. K

  9. Thanks all, It has been a battle for sure, but not here to waste anyone's time or for sure take away from anyone else's quit. I pledge that today I will NOT use nicotine in any way or fashion. Its not an option for me.

  18. So true Kris! I think that it is the one thing that binds everyone here together: the desire that everything and any little bit we document will one day be the one thing that helps a future quitter keep their quit and/or help someone through a particularly rough patch.

  30. @Freedom53 I can relate so much however I am not as strong or brave, I have been using NRT to get thru this nightmare, hoping I will make it past the worse part. I feel like I am doing well considering other things I deal with. We just have to take it 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day at a time. We can do it with focus and the help from other people here. Right now my brain is curled up in the fetal position for reasons not related to smoking but it does make that crave worse. I have learned that I will always feel that pull, I have to find other ways to handle it. You are not alone! K

  31. I can answer that one. You are pooping out waste from food you ate several days ago. The fact that you may have daily bowel movements doesn’t mean you are pooping,out yeaterday’s waste products. It can take several days to clear today’s waste. That’s why we need to take a prep before a colonoscopy. We need to clear several days worth of food waste. You’re welcome. Love, Nurse Kat

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.
