Sazerac Quit Date: October 23, 2013, A Good Day to be Free. Posted August 8, 2016 Many successful quitters here on QTrain have quit on a whim and just like them, I quit on a whim too. This is what led me to making one of the most important decisions in my life on a whim... It was after a trip to California, where finding a place to smoke was problematic and I was among non smoking friends. For the first time, I started seeing addiction for the slavery that it is and I acknowledged my bondage. When slipping outside for another smoke, I glibly announced, "I'm going out now, to shoot up." On the aeroplane back home, a colossal coughing fit overwhelmed me. I had to stand in the back while attendants tapped my back and brought me water. That was weird, I thought. That was awful. What was that about ? After landing, I didn't rush outside for a smoke before climbing into a jitney. Something had changed. Instead, I thought, why don't you try and quit....you already have 6 or 7 hours clean ? Why not ? Let's quit smoking for a while and see how that feels. I spent the next 72 hours sleeping a lot, drinking whisky and reading all about quitting smoking, all about nicotine addiction. After those days, as nicotine left my body, quitting became a wager with myself, a bargain. 'If you don't feel better in five minutes... maybe you'll feel better tomorrow... if you are not feeling pretty good by next week... or, in a month...see what happens after a year.' You can always go back to smoking. You know what that feels like. The thing was....I was feeling Free. While I was beating a trigger or a crave....I was learning how to be Free. It was intoxicating ! It was empowering ! That was where the whim became a serious enterprise. I realized, I would conquer any obstacle to my freedom from nicotine, it was just a matter of time and choice. Maybe you will quit on a whim. You don't need much. Cool clear Water, the fresh Air you breathe, some Kindness towards yourself, and a Willingness To Be free. and from our friend, Joel Spitzer, here are resources regarding Setting Quit Dates Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/7378-quitting-on-a-whim/

To my fairy godmother A nice new shiney wand ….

congrats @Runfreeyou are an inspiration

Thank you! It seems like forever ago but I will always remember those early days. The key(s) for me were to hang tight to the main reason I wanted to quit and to commit to NOPE every day for the first year, then I added another year for good measure. And I know without a doubt, the folks on the Quit Train were instrumental to my success. Thank you all so very much.

Happy decade @Runfree! May your smoke-free anniversary bring you much joy!

Congratulations on your fabulous 10 years smoke free Treat yourself to something special
