Congratulations Mac! 4 months is amazing. Keep building that beautiful quit.

In honor of your smashing 3 years, the QuitTrain will temporarily brandish a new name: Congrats WFM!

I rarely get sick since I quit almost 5 years ago. With one significant exception. I got COVID in early March. I had a raging headache for 2 weeks and a fever and body aches for about 5 days. But the thing I feared the most (severe respiratory infection) never materialized. I am convinced that quitting smoking and adopting a healthier lifestyle had a positive impact on my outcome. If I had still been a smoker, I’m confident the results would have been much worse. There’s no question In my mind that quitting smoking will improve your health and your ability to recover if you do happen to get sick.

Tell us one thing you couldn't do as a smoker that you're now able to do. Me: Hiking/Backpacking. Will be heading off on a 9 day backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in a few weeks. Here's a pic along the trail. Humphrey's Basin

Keep up the good work Steven! Each and every day is a victory.

That is a huge accomplishment Steven. Great job!

Congratulations on NOT smoking 140 cigarettes. Your lungs must be jumping for joy.

Congrats on 7 years Paul! Your encouragement about taking a leap of faith is wise advice indeed. Thanks for continuing to pay it forward.

A "slip" is an accident I'm guessing you didn't fall and let out a scream while, at the same time, a lit cigarette fell into your mouth. Be accountable. Only you can decide whether you chose to smoke again. That being said, I hope you really put your all into this new quit. Wouldn't it be great if it was the last time you went through this?

I tried quitting dozens of times - most with some sort of NRT or smoking suppression medication. A rough estimate of quit smoking aids I had bought over the years: 50 boxes of patches (various dosages) 30 boxes of nicotine gum 4 prescriptions of Chantix 5 boxes of lozenges None of these resulted in a sustained quit. It wasn't until several things converged that I was able to earn my forever quit. Those things were: Coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing every night when I lay down to sleep. This caused extreme anxiety and sleeplessness. Coming to the realization that only a 100% unwavering commitment to not light up would work. No more listening to my junkie brain telling me I could have just one or that it made more sense to put off my quit until after I finished a project at work, or after the holidays, or after........ Finding and giving support to others who were going through the same thing. I ended up spontaneously committing to quit when I was having a particularly rough night of difficult breathing and coughing. So, cold turkey worked for me. But whatever method you choose make sure your mind is in it 100%. With or without NRT, you'll still need to fight for your freedom. It rarely just falls in your lap. Trust me when I say it's ultimately worth whatever struggles you go through in the beginning.

nope

Yay Mona....congrats on 3 months!

Kate. Glad you took that first leap. Congrats on 5 months of freedom!
