Reciprocity

LizQuit, I think you may have read the recounting I wrote the night before my 1 year quit anniversary. I wrote too about wanting to crawl out of my skin in the early days. It's both the physical and mental withdrawals at their peak trying to convince you to give in to your addiction. It's all normal. I know that doesn't make it any better or easier but you are not alone and we did get through it! You are right too in saying you never want to go through this again! The longer you stay invested, the more reason to stay that way. Yes, the anger, anxiety in the early days is overwhelming at times but it doesn't last. The benefits you will start to notice will last. I bet you don't stink of stale cigarette smoke anymore - right? You're sense of smell is probably already starting to wake up again. You're right! Focus on the positives. The negatives are very short lived

Welcome to Quit Train RP!! Have a seat, relax and fasten your seat belt. This train is about to move on down the rails to freedom! Glad you could make it

Yes LizQuit - that's massively great news As Martian5 said, just take it a day at a time for now. They will add up soon enough.

Hello and welcome Huntressd! Glad you found us as having a good support community is a nice quitting tool to have

Hello Fab & Welcome to Quit Train We will try our best to make you feel welcome and right at home! Congrats on your almost 2 month quit too! Impressive.

I firmly believe NO ONE can just cut down for any appreciable period of time. You will ALWAYS fall back into what ever volume of cigs you used to smoke, and sometimes, even more! Even just trying this method is putting yourself through extreme withdrawal for an extended period of time - makes no sense to me. Why torture yourself like that? You either have to quit completely or not. Quitting is not that horrible. It sure beats every long term outcome that smoking will provide you with!

Hey Huntressd! Welcome aboard the Quit Train and congrats on your 8 month quit. Thought I'd squeeze this one in even though we're a day late? Every milestone is worth a celebration You did bring some cold beer with you right CONGRATS ON 8!!
