  1. Fantastic news Amy! Keep on keeping on!
  2. Sorry to hear that Evelyn. Are you sure CT is the way? You seem to move from NRT to CT and then back again. Nearly everyone has some practice quits first..
  3. Always check in on the pledge - she is always there! Soooooooz - you rock!
  4. Hmmmmm..Chapter 3 read now. Im going to think on it a while - and then perhaps wait for you to chime in Sharon! Else I might turn the thread into a monologue (My Chimp would love that!)
  5. Sharon - I have no idea how a book club operates either. - I guess we just put out our thoughts/feelings about what we read... Chapter 2 - so - actually not much new here - I have thoughts about things and I have feelings about things. Rational versus Instinctive. Emotional versus intellectual. Etc. Etc... It is interesting the imagery used to describe how the chimp works and reacts - and I assume that later in the book we are going to explore how we allow the Chimp his/her chance to express but not to take over! Definitely going to read more. LOL moment - the explanation of why some women have to fight indecision - about something like what to wear. I may finally understand why La Bandita asks "Does my butt look big in this" and why I am going to need to learn a whole new skill set to give her the 'right' answer... B)
  6. Have a great time! Chapter 2.. Okay. Some thinking to be done here. An interesting 'parameter'; the concept of two separate entities at peace or in conflict...hmmmmm
  7. Right then. 7 Brains. (La Bandita argues that I have none!) 3 Brains in the Psychological Mind. Human, Chimp and Computer. Human is kind of me 'conscious me'. Computer is data bank (for Human and Chimp) Chimp is an emotional thinking machine - whatever the heck one of those is. Chimp is not something I am responsible for - rather something i am responsible for managing. I am to put aside 10 minutes per day to assess how I managed my Chimp and myself in the last 24 hours. Okey-dokey....interesting enough to drag me into Chapter 2....
  8. I'll have a bash at Chapter 1 now... Standby.
  9. I have no idea how to answer that question.
  10. Morning! Any sign of the Beckys? What is the collective for Becky? A bevvie of Beckies? A breadth of Beckies? perhaps a banana of Beckies? hmmm.....
  11. Morning all. 7
  12. Beautiful wee thing. Congratulations!
  13. Wow Sharon! You are proper gushing about this! So much so - that I just bought the electronic version of it...Ill let you know how it goes for me. :D
  14. Many Happy Returns Marcus! Your posts are a constant source of strength to me. Happy Birthday!
  15. Great post Rez. Honesty is the only policy!
  16. Were his Pantz really Kool?
  17. Morning All! (Afternoon Upsidedowners!) It's a NOPE from me.

  21. I'm not knocking it! If it works then brilliant. I just wondered how you discovered it? If my shoulder popped out, I might wail, complain, quite probably cry. What I cannot imagine thinking is "right, let me pick up a weight".. That's all I was trying to work out! :D The strangest things go on in my head...

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.
