  3. Markus Quit Date: 02-19-2008 Posted April 13, 2014 Want to quit smoking? Good. That takes some nerve and that alone is enough to get it done. You don't have to be smart, you just need to use the courage and will that you have, in the right way, and get that brain of yours aligned to make it happen. Just quit. Do it now. There, you just quit. It's that easy. Now you are craving a smoke of course. It gets better, just as soon as you set your mind to being a non smoker and you free yourself from yourself, and from how you choose to live your life. This place cannot help you quit, it can't give you a quit, and it can't keep you quit. Only you can do that, and it's a choice. Either smoke. Or quit. The only thing that can happen to you here is to get encouragement and support. All that people here can do for you is to tell you how and to promise you that it can be done. You are absolutely going to have to hold yourself accountable and commit to staying quit, all on your own. This place can be effective in teaching you how to start walking after you've been crawling (quit) on your own, if you use it the right way. Understand that you are an addict first, and that's why you smoke because smoking is your answer to everything. If you are quitting you should realize that smoking is the answer to nothing. This also includes the journey ahead of you. A cigarette will never be the answer to anything you need. Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/589-want-to-quit-smoking-consider-this/

  7. I didnt make it. Lost my quit. I said to myself I was brainwashing myself into the issue. I said, mentally, <this not wanting to smoke is myself brainwashing myself>. For i didnt know the reason why I wanted to quit. So i considered it being brainwashing myself. And so i then smoked. Now im holding a cigarette butt with some odd reasoning that ill stop. Again.

  9. I live in North Carolina which, along with neighboring Virginia, usually ranks in the top 2 states in the United States for tobacco production. We are also the home of RJ Reynolds, or whatever it is they call themselves now. Not surprisingly, the tobacco industry and lobby has played a big role in preventing the state from inacting a lot of anti-smoking legislation as quickly as other states (higher cigarette taxes, mandatory non-smoking offices/restaurants, etc.) We have those now but adopted them later than a lot of the rest of the country. From what I understand, our cigarette taxes and prices in general are still lower than the national average. The other day, I saw the cost of my former favored brand of cigarettes (a common name brand) was $8 a pack. In 2014, when I quit, it was around $4 something on average. If $8 for a pack of cigarettes is low by US standards, I couldn't imagine paying $10 or more for a product that does nothing but kill people.

  11. Freedom sums it up well. My life doesn't revolve around when I can get my next nicotine fix. I have more money. I recently looked at the cost of my old brand of cigarettes when I was at a grocery store and 1 pack costs about twice as much as it used to when I smoked. I feel healthier now at age 48 than I did at 39 when I still smoked. I hid the fact that I was a smoker from some people but now realize that there is no way they couldn't have known I was a smoker. I just feel better physically, emotionally, and financially.

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.
