  1. Another day I couldn't get up in the morning in time to get on the elliptical (sigh). I'm leaving the office now and will not get any dinner till I put in my 1/2 on that machine!
  2. Welcome, Yippy! Looking forward to following your success story here on the Train. Congratulations on your quit. It's the very best thing you can do for yourself!
  3. Hi Octain (pardon the pun), welcome to the QuitTrain! Congratulations on your decision to quit smoking. Everyone here has gone through their own version of your last 3 days, so you'll get lots of support and understanding here. In answer to your question, are you overthinking it, I would say possibly yes, but I found it really hard not to think about smoking, quitting and all that was going along with it, especially in the early days. I would say do whatever you need to do to refrain from smoking and rest assured in I the knowledge that whatever you're feeling or thinking now, those feelings and thoughts are temporary. Try not to take them too seriously and hold tight to your quit. As time goes by, you'll feel better and better and realize your personal set of unexpected benefits of quitting. THOSE feelings and thoughts are permanent and grow the further along you go in your quit. Read as much as you can here, especially the ,pinned" threads. Education about nicotine addiction is super important and helpful when difficult times crop up- cravings or thoughts that you can't do it, why are you doing this, I'll quit another time , after (fill in the blank). Be aware that at those moments it's the addiction talking, not your own rational mind. Best of luck. Let us know how you're doing, reach out if you need a hand.

  9. Bakon, you’ve been a source of inspiration, laughs, confusion and admiration- sincere thanks for all of it. I hope this doesn’t mean you won’t be here at all but maybe just not as frequently as you take the time to enjoy the rest of your life more. Xxi PT
  10. Best wishes Jon. Respect you for your diligence and fortitude. Understood that you’re feeling terrible now but you’re fighting your way through to the other side. The other side DOES exist. Keep the faith, Jon.

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.
