  1. From what I've seen having been on another forum before this one is that its pretty normal. People get gung-ho and sign up with the best intentions to quit and just aren't ready yet or like you said after a few months they feel secure enough to stop logging on. Unfortunately we also see a lot of relapses from people who let their guard down too early and quit coming on. But if we can help just one get their forever quit then it's all worth it

  19. Posted 30 March 2015 - 09:14 AM by hermine (qsmb) Quitting smoking leaves us with a terrible emptiness that, for a while, we don't know exactly how to handle. And we may even ask ourselves if we will ever be able to fill these voids with anything. What helped me to get over this was eventually understanding that the source of the problem wasn't the absence of cigarettes, but the mere existence of those terrible feelings I was dealing with. They were there all along, but I was trying to cover them all up with smoke... The moment I stopped smoking, I started to realize and acknowledge all those things that were wrong in my life and I've been trying to get rid of by hiding behind a curtain of cigarette smoke. But they didn't disappear, they have been watching me silently and now, as the smoke cleared, we are starting to make eye contact again. Should I light a cigarette so I become blind again? Or should I finally tackle the beasts? The answer is clear. I will attack. So ask yourself, as you are ripped by this feeling of emptiness: is it ok that a small piece of paper filled with tobacco has become such an important part of my life? Is it ok that I have become emotionally attached to a small piece of paper filled with tobacco?! Don't hide behind the curtain of smoke again. Don't choose to run again. Make the most of the fact that you are finally capable to see your life as it really is and you finally have the chance to fill those voids. Fill your short and precious life with people, places, hobbies and knowledge. Put things that actually matter inside those voids, because blowing smoke inside them will never, ever, make them disappear.

  23. Yay @Kris and @Lindafor saving kris's quit. This made my day already And Kris, maybe part of your depression is thinking you should be past all the struggle but you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Its going to take as long as it takes. Mine took a full year with bad days sprinkled in after that. Your addiction is thinking oh shit she REALLY was serious about never smoking again. Its doing everything it can to lure you back in so stand your ground because I promise you it WILL get better

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.
