  1. Congrats CM on being 3 months smoke free. I bet you're enjoying the benefits and you should be proud of your accomplishment :)
  2. 3 Years is amazing. I hope you celebrate big time today. What an incredible gift to give yourself and all your loved ones!
  3. That used to be me too B57! It's one of the things I notice most about my own quit and am the most happy about too :) The other thing I have noticed is, I haven't had my normal number of colds this year. In fact, I haven't been sick since I quit smoking in January. Normally, I would have had a couple of colds by now. It's great!! I love being healthier than I was when I smoked :)
  4. Hello Nigel! Are you there?

  7. Glad you are finding information on this site informative and helpful to you Jewel as you build your quit. I know that when I first quit I had no idea there was a place where other quitters gathered to exchange information on quitting and to share their experiences but once I did, I immediately knew it would be an important building block for my own quit. So, stick around and participate all you can. You will find it really helps you in your own quest to quit and remain quit.
  8. Yay!! Hope you're enjoying being smoke free. That's a huge accomplishment you can be very proud of :)
  9. Any way you need to do it to quit & stay quit is the best way for you so just get 'er done!! :)
  10. Congratulations Paul! 4 years is amazing. Hope you celebrate today :)

  12. Yay John!! Good job buddy :)
  13. Nice job Parsley! You've now been quit for 1/4 year. That's fabulous :) Be sure to treat yourself to something nice.
  14. You should stop having so many of those "truly uncomfortable days" soon because you are almost 1 month quit. You will just have to power through the bad days unfortunately. Do something that takes your mind off the urge to smoke, or at least reduces the discomfort of those urges. Have you watched all the Joel quit smoking videos that are available here? If not, try that or, watch TV or Netfix or whatever will distract you. We all have to find our own way out of withdrawal.
  15. ^^^ I would disagree. I know I found it hard, particularly that first week and even at times for the first month or so. By hard I just mean it was something I had never done before and didn't know what to expect. The increased anxiety and the constant battling of craving to smoke was a hard time to endure. Mentally and physically draining on many days for me. Maybe it's not that way for all but it is for some. Yes, I know attitude makes a big difference - I realize that but it's sometimes hard to have a chipper positive attitude when your anxiety levels are through the roof. In any case, easy or hard - we are all here to learn how to become smoke free for life. That is the one common denominator we all share and it's what binds us together like a family, even though most of us have never met.
  16. Not sure how I missed that.
  17. So Kieth Richards of Rolling Stones fame, is still smoking and looks like this on the outside. What's going on inside?? How's this guy still alive? I know there's a little drug use involved in addition to the smokes but; holy cow :o
  18. You're doing great Peace Train!! Keep it up no matter what. It will be so worth it and yes, when thought about smoking become secondary - that's progress :)
  19. I'm on that road and I don't look for any exits until I reach destination "Smoke-Free". Others need to follow us and take their lives back!

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.
