Happy New Year Quit Train Members and your love ones ....From Liverpool

@notsmokinjoHappy New Year! Not quite there yet....I am going to take the shift at the shelter tonight. Seemed to be the best way to ring in a smoke-free New Year because its really hard not to be grateful there, largely because I am not a permanent resident! Best to all...

Happy New Year.... Bit of a quiet on down here... gathered at me dad's place for a cut throat game or 2 of euchre and then some trivial pursuit...watch the fireworks on telly and now watching the tradition 12:15am viewing the musical classic, You Can't Stop the Music.... not sure if it's just an Aussie thing to show this movie every new Years. Wishing you all a safe, happy, prosperous and healthy 2022.

Happy New Year everyone!

G’day Im all Hope for this new year. God bless us all

All the best Jo to you and your love ones

The support you get from people all over the world who have either been there before you or are walking beside you may be just what you needed to get your forever quit so what do you have to lose? Actually you have a lot to lose if you continue to smoke!! So we hope you decide to join us

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Just baking bread for tomorrow, no fireworks, just flourworks. No liquid fun in the house and I am not going out just to get that.

On New Years Eve through New Years day they show a Twilight Zone marathon every year here. Which seems appropriate the last couple of years with this pandemic Have fun at your dad's! Xoxo

Happy New Year (2022) you quitters!

It is 6:00 p.m. local time, meaning we are at T-minus one hour from our big New Year's Eve seafood extravaganza. We got lobster. We got shrimp. We got salmon. We got scallops. We got crab cakes.... There's no way of knowing what the future holds, but I know I'm not going into the new year on an empty stomach.

Happy New Year to each and everyone of you. May good fortune find you often in the new year.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

G’day like these…..can’t get fresher

NOPE And Happy 2022! Health (we're healthier because we don't smoke), prosperity (we're more prosperous when we don't spend money on nicotine), and happiness (and we lead longer lives to be happy with people we love).

NOPE Happy new year.

Hi, my name is Dave, I’m 58 and I am not prepared. I had to go to the Doctors the other day, nothing terminal, but a nasty issue, directly smoking related. I’ve got the support, being a Brit, of the NHS for an annual crack at giving up with prescribed “stuff”, I’ve got 20/day patches, gum and spray, ALL for free! It’s all sat on the shelf looking at me. I managed 48hrs without because I couldn’t smoke, and have had 1/2 a pack in the last two days of which I have two left which I’m hanging onto like a junkie in Pointless Park. I will confess now that I have carried out the smokers “out of ciggies” whole house survey which reveals a tin with two roll-ups in it and an ashtray in the garage with three butt ends in. The butts are in the bin, the tin now has No8 woodscrews in it. (In my mind, I am tracking the bin bag, I know exactly where those butt ends are, I know that’s wrong, I know that’s bad, I know exactly where they are). I wasn’t prepared for this, tomorrow is kick off day and it feels like it has been forced upon me and I’m already beginning to sweat. For those interested, I’m going to use this as a bit of a blog, possibly to rant, but at least you will probably learn a bit of Welsh slang.

Happy New Year to you all

G’day Well today’s a big day on the Christmas feast calendar. Hams been finished and it’s time for the bone to go to the freezer. Next time we see it will be winter and it’s due to be pea and ham soup…….

NOPE! Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Here's to freedom....

Nope!!!

NOPE

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!

NOPE! Happy New Year's Eve

G’day NOPE but Hope for the new year God bless us all

Happy New Year!!!!

Read all you can from the Main Smoking Discussion Board....specially the green pinned posts .. This is a great place to start ,there is tons of great information there ... Think positive ..your giving up nothing ..and gaining so much ... I'm in Liverpool ...nice to have you here ...

They are beautiful. My sister has chickens and I get some fresh from there. They are what all eggs should be.

Fresh warm bum nuts..... so glad I can still have eggs every few days.

I am still in 2021 but wishing us all a happy and SMOKE-FREE 2022! So NOPE.

I'm defo trying these egg recipes ...I've learnt here ...Bring in the eggs ...

Devilled Eggs are a thing down here too... If I'm taking them to an event with dad's relos we do Bogan Devilled Eggs.... for every 6 hard boiled eggs, peel, cut in half scoop out the yolks and add 2 tbs mayonnaise, 1 tbs curry powder and a pinch pepper, mix and stuff back into egg whites then sprinkle with paprika..... if I'm off to mum's relos I whip out me Country Women's Association cookbook and mix my egg yolks with 1/3 cup Mayo, 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Finley chopped chives and 1 of finely chopped flat leaves parsley. Now I want a curry egg and lettuce sanga, guess I'll have one for lunch today.

Let's go for a ride. like the ole times!! Have you gained some tonnage or is it just me?

NOPE!

Thank you all! I made it through nursing school and have accepted my dream position in the trauma intensive care unit. All of these positive changes came from my decision to quit 9 years ago!

Tomorrow is my first patch and spray with coffee in the morning, I know coffee is a trigger etc but one step at a time eh? oh, happy new year everyone btw

@Davevat1Hi Dave, I quit after the doctor call too. It has been six months. I agree with @CbdaveYou just need to get rid off the smokes and the butts. I know you are afraid, how will you cope. I look back at all the overwhelming events of my life and smoking did not keep any of them from happening. So just accept that smoking does not solve a problem. It will only bring more, your health will continue to decline. You heard it from the doctor. It is the truth, many here can confirm. I used NRT to start, many went cold turkey. You have to look deep and hard into your truth. Make your decision on how you want to handle it. Do not kid yourself, you have to do it and you can do it.

G’day Dave Time to do the inventory. Get rid of the lot ashtrays lighters all gone. None of that “just in case” it’s over! Cigs tobacco butts drown them. Plenty of water squash them up …. you can’t smoke nicotine soup. It’s humane to you and they are permanently disabled. Excited… you should be. Remember your in charge now. Your calling the shots

Welcome aboard @Davevat1, forced or not its a great decision to quit this nasty habit! I know what you mean about following the butt ends, I did that too and still got my forever quit, just a few hours later than I started lol. We have a great group of quitters from all over the world and quit a few from across the pond so you're in good company here Be sure to check out all our different forums. Lots of great info about our addiction as well as tips and clues to help with the craves. We even have a whole video forum if that's more your thing

NOPE! Happy New Year everyone.

NOPE… HAPPY new Year to you all .

Awww ..He's not changed a bit !!!!

BeJuses!! Is that really you Meathead (@Sonic)?

@Angeleek This is a very welcome bit of news to hear that you feel like your brain is 100% recovered. I've read a lot about neural plasticity and remaking who you are by making new neural pathways. A very powerful way to doing this is to visualize yourself as the person you want to be. The difficult part is how to visualize yourself not doing something? I think the trick is to visualize the new you absent the thing you want to eliminate. So being smokers we don't want to try to visualize ourselves as nonsmokers, instead we picture the thing the we want and picture it so vividly that we totally lose sight of the thing that we don't want. Glad you achieved the goal and thanks for coming back and giving us recent quitters some much needed hope.

NOPE…

@jillar is right, if you can't reach the doctor, make sure you read all the information that came with your NRT, google it. You can get very sick from nicotione overdose if you do not use them correctly.

Meathead! Long time, no see. Sonic always livens up the party when he comes around. He also causes the collective IQ to drop a few points when he comes around. It's a trade-off we're willing to accept. Don't be a stranger Meathead.
