  8. Vape ditched, ticker's in place .... it IS getting real! Quitting is a roller coaster. One day up, one day down. The up days become more than the down days in short order so just endure those down days. Those tough days won't kill you but going back to smoking will!
  9. Happy 4th G!! Great work

  12. Keep in mind that by fighting the quit battle, it does get easier and easier as time goes on and in terms of the battle to stay quit well, that just amounts to not doing anything careless or dumb once your quit is secure. I have never really thought of that as a battle. More just light maintenance - sort of like cleaning the house once in awhile
  13. Nothing embarrassing about coming back to quit again and likely save your life - nothing!
  14. Welcome back IDS! Pretty sure your were here at least briefly before? Hanging on to that vape pipe was def. your junkie brain keeping you well prepared to jump back on the vape at a moment's notice. Getting rid of it not only makes it more difficult to smoke at a moment's notice but it also shows you that your commitment to staying quit is perhaps stronger than you think? Keep moving forward. There's no going back! Nothing there to go back to - just slavery to nicotine.

  18. You're right Jeff! Brain fog and No Man's Land don't lest forever as they are merely quit symptoms and they fade away relatively quickly. They seem like a big deal at the time, early on in your quit but, they quickly become a fleeting memory a year or two down the road.

  20. I am still a nicotine addict and always will be. There is no erasing addiction. You can and will get to a point where you live very comfortably without feeding your addiction but as addicts, we never can reset our brains to forgetting about addiction. That's why we must adhere to the NOPE principal for the rest of our lives. That may sound daunting to some but it's not! The key is abstaining from smoking while you educate yourself about nicotine addiction. Knowledge helps one understand that smoking .... feeding our addiction to nicotine, does nothing good for us - nothing! That's the place we need to get to where our addiction is no longer a threat to us!

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.
