It's really good to see you here .... This means you want to rid yourself of the horrible addiction of smoking nicotine ....I was where you are once ....just trying to find that one thing that would free me once and for all of my 52 year smoking addiction .... I had tried every method know to man ...always to end up back to smoking ... I was given a sharp shock .... prospect of losing a limb or two...all of a sudden Just trying wasn't a option it was time to do.... I smoked my last 3 ciggerette,s...with tears flowing ... How would I manage without my crutch ..my friend for so many years ....I searched the web looking for that one thing I hadn't tried ... I stumbled on a group of people ...QSMB ....then The Quit Train .... They gave me the Knowledge...showed me the way ....armed me with my tools to beat this monster....they guided me every step of the way .People from all over the world ,they cared ,they understood .... I did it ...I free,d myself ....I still feel that sense of pride ... I stay to tell anyone that will listen ....jump on the Train....give yourself the best Chance you can to free yourself.....your so worth it ....don't be shy... It's your life ...and you only get one ..... We will welcome you ...5 points

Great post @Doreensfree, I stumbled upon my first forum from googling the quit symptoms I was having and each one led me to my first forum QSMB where I lurked for about three weeks before that one post stood out so much that I registered to thank that individual. And I'm so glad I did because I truly believe that it was through the support and understanding of others who had or were walking the same path to freedom that I'm over five years free now4 points

G’day No crocs here you’ve got to go a few hours north to find them. Then if they start hanging around towns they are caught and relocated to a crocodile farm….. and turned into handbags.3 points

Good evening my junkie and ex junkie friends...thought I would give you guys a little update on my current quit situation. First a little recap and definition of how severe things had gotten for me. The bloating I was experiencing had gotten to the point of being painful. The weight gain was concerning as hell since my worst fear of quitting was realized and then some. Getting fat as hell. Before quitting I stayed around 163 to 165. In less than 11 weeks I topped out at 199. YIKES!!!. I definitely pulled the pin on the fat grenade and blew the **** up! So I lost track of when I quit the coffee and started the kombucha tea but I believe it's been about 10 or 11 days. I was supposed to be drinking some apple cider vinegar and lemon juice before bed but I forget to do that most of the time. Been eating carnivore for the last 4 days and only eating one meal a day but I don't skimp on that meal. The results....drum roll please. Over the last 10 days I've dropped from a high weight of 199 to a low weight of 188. Meals exit with about the same frequency as they enter and the bloating is only after meals, mild and usually only lasts for about an hour or so. That tells me that my stomach acid is building back up to where it needs to be for proper digestion. I'm slowly retraining my brain to not have my hands shove everything in sight that looks like food down my pie hole in a neverending binge. Another side effect is the problems with my back, hips and shoulders seem to be getting better as well. I'm still hacking up phlegm. As far as the quit...well let me tell you, I still see myself lighting up in my minds eye but the cravings are not as severe. Ever since quitting the coffee the cig cravings have gotten much more tolerable so I don't know what sort of weird ass situation I've gotten myself into but at least it's manageable. I still feel like I need to keep the quit front and center in my mind so I don't wind up half way to the store when I'm going to the golf course (yeah, that happened today). Good sleep is still a luxury that eludes me but hopefully that will start to return over the next few days to weeks. Anyhow, if anybody been following that's had similar problems these are the things i've done that seems to help.2 points
