Hi Fab

Glad you found your way here.

I think last year ownership changed at qsmb  it wasn't really fully up and running after that . I joined after last years problems when it stopped working. I think a lot of qsmb joined this forum at that time.. The owners didn't really communicate much with the admins who kept trying to keep it going then last week it just stopped working. Hence the influx We don't know yet whats going on with it.

Well done on Quitting

It will be tuff for a couple of days get to 72 hours and all the nicotine will be out of your system.

Read here and educate yourself on the addiction as much as you can.

Be kind to yourself 

Hi Roopy

Hi

Glad you found the Train welcome aboard.

Hi Sparkzz

Glad you made the train.

Hi Kris

Everyones quit is different

What you experience will be tailored by the nicotine demon to you.

He will try every trick in the book to keep you smoking

Realise and admit you are an addict and then tell yourself that no matter what  _I will Not Take One Puff Ever,

The boards are great for reassurance if there is something going on with your body that you are not sure about. If its something strange always consult your Doctor if you are in any doubt..

Hi

Welcome and congrats on deciding to quit.

The worst torture you can inflict on yourself is the reducing the cigarettes you smoke route.( It gives you massive craves all the time and doesn't clear the nicotine from your system }

Been there done that and sorry I did.

I quit this time cold turkey at 72 hours the Nicotine is gone from your system then all you have to do is fight off any further craves. they get more infrequent and less intense as you go.

its not easy but it is simple don't put things in your mouth and set fire to them.

Education about the addiction is key read as much as you can  here hang around and contribute ,apart from anything else its a great distraction.

Hi

Glad you caught the train ok

I see your in 1st class I think ill move seat from the 3rd class if no one notices.,

Hi Liz

Congratulations and Welcome

You have taken a massive step towards extending your life and your health try and remember that when the nicotine demon tries to persuade you to take one puff. Tell it Not One Puff Ever.

HI

Congratulations.

Lets hope the worst is behind you.

But don't be complacent the price of freedom from nicotine is eternal vigilance.

Congratulations on 4 months.

Sorry to hear about your  husbands ill health.

Helping other people quit is a Noble and Humane cause thanks on behalf of all us fellow quitters for all you do.

Looking through the topics here there is  lots of discussion about what people do with the money they saved from quitting.

The literature suggests that by quitting you  should be able to add days/months/years to your life expectancy.

I wondered what people are planning to do with all this extra time ?

If your like me you will just muddle on day to day with no real plan.

Perhaps now is the time to come up with a useful way to spend the extra time.

Anyone got any suggestions.

Hi

Hope you feel purrrrrrrrr fectly at home here soon.

I saw somewhere

"A puff away from a Pack a day".

That always helps me to stay quit.

Wow 10 years is very inspiring

Congratulations and thanks for posting still.

Hi

3 months is a great milestone.

Congratulations on your achievement.

Well done Jane

Looks like you have an upgrade on your journey to the cruise ship,

Your now going to the ship by train (courtesy of Quit Train ) instead of walking.

You will be at a year in no time.
