  1. Wasn't for the critters she was feeding. I remember her doing that when I was a kid even lol.
  2. Tip of the Day! Don't ever clean out the house of someone who grew up in the Great Depression Era!! They save EVERYTHING Example: Twist Ties I swear my Mom saved every one she ever came across however I have only seen one bag that she ever used one on Fridge was puzzling too. Little bits plastic wrap with 3 left over green beans, 2 pieces of mushroom and another with a dab of potato. I guess she thought she might not be able to get more food the next day? Waste not, want not or something like that. That depression era mentality never left those who lived through it I guess.
  3. Yeah, Lots of memorabilia sorted through that brought up memories of a life long ago. Now, we're down to the; Holy Crap Mom, did you NEVER through anything out phase And yes, that photo is the view from the couch in her living room where she sat most of the time. It's no wonder she didn't want to go until she just couldn't manage any longer But hey! She made it on her own to a couple months short of 100 years old so that's pretty good. Now she's getting the care she needs even though it's a big adjustment for her, especially in these Covid times.
  4. Day 4 of sorting and packing all the stuff in my Mom's house today. That and calling around to see who will take household items and furniture for donation. It's very tough in the pandemic times. Stuff isn't moving out from the charities so many of them can't take anymore stuff But, at the end of each day we sit down on the couch in her living room, garb a couple of cold one's and watch the greatest show on earth
  5. Congrats Saz! 7 years, wow what an accomplishment. Hope you did something special for yourself today
  6. I hate those "phone it in" Dr. visits. My guy's bad enough in person let alone over the phone! Using Covid as an excuse to keep up with their billings while not really doing a proper job. How can you truly access a person's health over the phone? Makes my blood boil!
  7. 3 months quit is impressive Matt so stick with it. You'll be really glad you did in the long run. Day to day stuff that happens to all of us is NOT worth tossing a quit over. Not for any of us so, rock on man!
  8. Great job Mona! 6 Months is a huge milestone. Celebrate your achievement and be proud! You're achieving the goal you have set for yourself and have done all the hard work to get there
  9. 4 years seems like a long time but bet you remember quitting like it was yesterday! Congrats on 4 full years smoke free @d2e8b8
  10. Nice one @Angeleek8 is great!
  11. Way to go Christine Best decision of your life to quit and the second best decision was to come here to this site for knowledge & support! Hang around, It WILL help!
  12. Great job reaching 3 months. It's pretty normal at that point to still feel a little rocky at times but you've come a long way - you know the drill in terms of how your actions will determine your future quit. That quit will just keep maturing every day you remain smoke free - go celebrate in some way
  13. Made it to N.B. Now in self quarantine for 14 days per their entry requirements. No problem, lots of sorting and packing to do here and we brought a lot of dry/caned goods. Travel through Quebec was like a ghost town. Nobody around and really hard to find food as all restaurants & bars closed and not even doing take out or delivery. Finally found one fast food drive thu open so that was our only meal. They even closed all the Mc-D's cuz too many had positive tested employees We were pretty careful, with limited contacts and just stayed in a hotel and saw no one other than the receptionist so we will know in the next week or so if we're OK.
  14. Packing for an extended road trip to New Brunswick. Will be there awhile.
  15. Great Job Steven! 1st month is an important milestone to celebrate. Do it in style!
  16. Nope! Keepin' that monkey off my back!
  17. It is nice. Big difference between that and the tourist trap of Niagara Falls, just down the road. NOTL is classy & elegant with lots of shops and charm. and always beautifully landscaped! The Niagara Parkway, linking Niagara Falls and Niagara On The Lake is also a beautiful drive. Plus, NOTL is right there in wine country. How convenient
  18. Nope! Not on the wife's BD!
  19. Excuses: Too busy at work now to quit! Going on vacation so why ruin that? Christmas is almost here. I can't quit now and ruin the holidays for everyone in the family! Summer's here and I just want to enjoy it, not suffer through quitting. Winter is coming soon and that'll make me miserable enough, why make it worse by quitting? Truth: There's NEVER a good time to quit so just make an unbreakable commitment to yourself and do it! It will set you free and you'll never have to fret over it again
  20. We just got lucky for 1 day and yes, they both are real beauties

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.
