  1. I love this post! Thanks for selecting it @jillar and kudos to @Sazerac
  2. This is awesome progress @Penguin! I hope that your first workout goes well. Stick to your plan and don’t overdo it. I look forward to your next update.
  3. Congratulations @Reciprocity and thank you ever so much for all of the assists during the early months of my quit.
  4. I have been stuck at 169.9lbs for over a month! I can’t make the scale budge either way. I would be ecstatic to get back to my self designated ideal weight of 140. The belly fat has become my nemesis. But I’m not suffering from joint pain or stiffness and my back hasn’t bothered me in over a month. My gait is more sure, lengthier, and faster. I’m becoming more and more toned. So all in all, I’m happy and feeling healthier.
  5. I used patches during my initial quit. They helped with the additional stress and anxiety I already suffered from. As far as I can recall within 2 months I quit using them as I forgot to apply one and realized I no longer needed them. I wish you well on your non smoking journey.

    10 Years Quit

    Such a wonderful post @Wendy Congratulations on your ten year anniversary.
  7. Congratulations @BAT! This is awesome.
  8. Congratulations on your 23rd year Christian!
  9. Hopefully when you start seeing real results it will be different for you.
  10. Those are the basics Penguin. Very important to engage those core muscles. Helps with stability also and it’ll actually start helping those abs tighten up too. I have always enjoyed staying toned and have worked with free weights a lot. I can hardly wait to start seeing updates on your results!
  11. Happy 7th @notsmokinjo!!!

    Third hand Smoke

    One of my aunt’s house was just saturated with nicotine and tar and smoke residue. It smelled so badly. I remember sitting on the edge of the sofa because you could literally feel the stickiness of it on the fabric. After she passed they literally had to redo the sheet rock and the flooring. She died from a major stroke and my uncle passed from emphysema. They both smoked since they were young teenagers.
  13. I don’t smoke anymore!!! It is one of the best things I can say. The only thing I can compare the feeling to that I get when I say it is when I used to sing My Country ‘Tis Of Thee in grade school. HaHa An amazing post by the way and I’m sure that it will help someone along the way. Congratulations on your fourth year of being a quitter! I’ll be four years in March! I hope to see you around more.
  14. Congratulations @QuittingGirl! You’ve had an amazing year and I’m so proud of you!
  15. Congratulations Johnny! 10 years is a long time. Thank you for hanging around and helping others like me along the way.

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.
