  1. I'm on a straight line to nowhere!
  2. It's odd because she snuggles with my wife , who doesn't really like cats until this one came along yet she's still a little hesitant with me and cats normally flock to me for whatever reason so I figure she must have been abused by a man in her early days maybe? She's living the good life now though - that's for sure Our other cat hates her but he hates everyone including us They seemed to have found their common ground now that we moved houses. It's no one's claimed territory I suppose?
  3. Multiple is a must unless pillow is ridiculously huge. Love having a big celebration for your own Birthday or hate it?
  4. What happens to a cat's nose living outdoors at -40 C (Dark Spot is from severe frostbite) Holly "The Non-Smoking Christmas Cat" captured in a live trap Dec. 29th 2017 in our back yard. Could not be in the same room with her for a month after capture without her going crazy. To this day she will not eat food put out for her until everyone has left the room. She must have been abused in some way connected to feeding as a kitten. Don't know how old she is but not more than two years now and probably under 1 year when captured.
  5. We don't have a Christmas pudding but if we did; I expect I'd want to light it up Sleeping in a bunk-bed (stacked bed); are you up top Or; Down below?
  6. TRUE! And, Gift Cards are borderline Money gifts are impersonal. I know there's the practical side to it but in my mind, Christmas is about celebrating personal connections. Take an unwanted gift back for cash after Christmas or donate it to charity?
  7. You are doing well not having smoked for almost 2 weeks but I can not wrap my head around how you believe that the cravings would disappear after 1 week. If you have read anything on this forum, you would know that this just is not possible. Yes, the cravings to smoke become less intense and less frequent the longer we go without smoking and without putting nicotine into our bodies but the time frame is certainly not 1 week for any of us. This is why we recommend staying around here for at least 1 year because that's generally the length of time it takes to develop a really solid quit. That doesn't mean you will be having strong cravings for a whole year. It just means you will have gone through all the things you do at different times of the year and those things may bring on cravings the first time you face them as a non-smoker. Read the posts from others here and what they have experienced because you will not find even 1 post that says anyone did not have cravings after 1 week. It's a long process Pott! It will happen for you too but you need to give it a lot of time before you will be completely comfortable not smoking. That will also include getting nicotine out of your body at whatever point you feel you can do that. Keep fighting the craves you get a night and you'll do fine. Just remember; you are a nicotine addict just like I am. If either one of us ever takes another puff from a cigarette, we will awaken the monster again and will be back to full time smoking very quickly - Don't give up - ever!
  8. Great job Jayhawk! 6 months is a really solid quit. Be sure to reward yourself today to recognize your efforts. We'll look forward to seeing you next month at the 1/2 year mark

  20. I still say you are at 0 here by counting the girls/guys responses and assuming they are posting a number so I will post up a +1 here.
  21. I will always cherish my freedom from addiction slavery and therefore, I will never smoke again; Not One Puff Ever! I will support all other quitters in any way I can because I want them to feel the same freedom I do. I will always remember why I quit and when. I will appreciate each and every smoke free day I live because they are just better! I will always remember the people here and elsewhere who encouraged me and helped to educate me about nicotine addiction
  22. OK I just didn't scroll back far enough to see all the bogus numbers - LOL. Based on the male/female o=posts since the sticks win at 20 by Boo I figure I'm a -1 here on this post? Let me know if that's fair

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.
