  5. This is for anyone who is lurking on here thinking of quitting smoking. Ohhh yeah I was scared too, especially since this is my 2nd (and last time) quitting. Who wants to go through those withdrawal symptoms each time we quit! Yikes, not me!! First time was much easier for me, as I was on Chantix because I called it the Wonder drug, but that is not on the market any longer, so it wasn't an option this time around. This time I did the weaning method, which is not good because I was in a constant state of withdrawal all day long, and if I kept that up for months, it would be a lot worse than the cold turkey method. Everyone on here advised me to just go cold turkey, which I decided to do after a couple weeks of weaning. I'm not gonna lie, the very beginning is NOT easy at all. You WILL have plenty of withdrawal symptoms, you probably will get very irritable at times, you probably will gain weight, I know I did, but what WON'T happen is, you WON'T die from withdrawal, you WON'T get sick, and you will probably live longer because you are quitting smoking!! Ohhh and the best part about withdrawal symptoms is that they are only temporary!! The longer you stay smoke free, the less withdrawal symptoms you will have. So, if there is anyone out there who is thinking of quitting smoking, and reading this board, please quit!! Every one of us on this board were newbies at one time. There was a first day for everyone on this site.

  6. I quit using patches and I took my time with it. Using patches breaks up the quit into two parts. While on the patch you still get nicotine but you break the habit of not smoking. You get used to not smoking, taking the smoke breaks, having something in your hands. Tapering off wasn't fun but it was manageable. When I stopped using the patch I felt like I was missing something but wasn't sure what it was. Still had smoking dreams. Still had occasional nicotine fits. Still have to be 100% committed and serious about your quit. Still, it was something I could deal with; especially with the resources and people at the Quittrain.

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.
