Well done JSG!!

Great job! 3 weeks is amazing. You should be very proud :)

that's awesome sandy! I did the same thing with my mother...not pushy but happy to say how great it was for me. She was listening and is now over a year quit. Now my sister quit 2 months ago. You planted the seed and are leading the way for them. What a gift. :) Excellent news for you and glad you enjoyed your trip.

my doctor was more interested in pushing me to lose weight at the time. I found that really odd...especially because at the time, I wasn't nearly as overweight as I was after I first quit. But I am glad I quit first...then concentrated on the weight.

excellent Wendy!! You are doing fantastic! Thanks for checking in :)

I stole batman? lol...love the bakon updates! thanks for the laugh!

i went to their concert about 15 years ago...they are awesome! I'm jealous! Have fun!!

I learn when you veer off of NOPE street....you just may end up on the wrong side of the tracks. Dark and scary roads like FEAR Lane and DOUBT Avenue. Dangerous neighborhoods Stay on NOPE street, and you will be just fine...Just for Today! :)

Oh how exciting!!! Yay beacon!!!

Way to go Lucy! You aren't here much..but when you are you give wonderful support and its obvious you have a solid quit there. Congratulations!!

Congrats Jenn!! You have a beautiful quit going. Thanks for all you do here. You are an amazing support. The quit train is a better place with you here. Great job!

I'm late too but...what a great thing to read. Awesome!! Welcome!

We should say how we feel. Post about our own experiences because that's what people want to hear. Sarge had it easy peasy. Should he not post about it? Should he pretend it was hard for him, even though it wasn't? I'm having a hard time figuring out what the "anti easy peasy" folks want him to say. Speaking of easy quits...you always say you had an easy quit. Why do you tell people how hard it could be when you had it easy? Just write about your own experience and leave the horror stories to those who are actually experiencing them and come here for guidance and support. Sometimes it feels like you are saying "my quit was easy cause I'm a strong lady but you may find it difficult because you dont have the strong willed personality that i do". Whether thats what you wre saying, i dont know but yhats how it comes across to me. Its a matter of perspective. Sarge is saying it can be easy peasy for everyone. I agree with this. Before i quit, I believed it took a special kind of strong willed person to be able to quit and I didn't have that strength. Thank God I came for support and learned that it was a lie or I might still be a smoker today. I do believe everyone can find it easy peasy but not everyone does. There is a difference.

Loved reading your story LB....very cool. Personally I don't believe one person is stronger than the other...i don't. I think it's a matter of accepting "what is" Those that find it "easy peasy" accept the fact that they are non smokers..no matter what...they just don't take a puff. There is no loopholes...there are no excuses. That's it. Frankly...if i was a newbie and came to the board and saw everyone stating how hard it is and how it takes a special kind of person to find it easy and they are just stronger people and it's in their genes...I would probably be discouraged. I think it's awesome to have that variety..and I for one and very thankful for the Sarge and those that feel that quitting is "easy peasy". They make newbies think "i want that, i wanna feel like that and if that guy can have that mindset, so can I!" Keep it simple....easy peasy :)

How exciting!! A toast to our lovely Gemma! So happy for you!! Celebrate big!

Wonderful to have you here on the Quit Train Sammie! Welcome...and Congrats to you on day 1!! :)

Man in skirt does it!! 7 months is fantastic!! Great job. Glad you are here, paying it forward. :)
