Amen, Sista! I will never forget the moment I faced the ugly truth of my addiction head on and called myself exactly what I am. A nicotine addict. I wept for hours!

YAY!!!! Two months @Kris!!! You are doing awesome! Stick close!

So true @jillar

It’s so refreshing to see someone with such a long quit own up to experiencing a desire for a cigarette after a great length of time. I am 5 months quit and although I hardly every think of smoking anymore I know that I need to always be vigilant against the addiction. I too believe that we are addicts. There is no other word for what we deal with when we quit, the thoughts we have from time to time and the craving for something that is only going to kill us. I am sorry that you were under so much stress but thank you for being honest so that us newbies KNOW that we will battle this the rest of our lives. And awesome job saying NOPE to nicotine!

Welcome Darcy!!!! I’m glad that you want ride the train with us! I literally would be sitting in my favorite chair on my front porch chain smoking away right now if it weren’t for the QuitTrain and all of the helpful and kind fellow passengers here with me! Stick close and let us know if you need us. We are here for you!

NOPE!

WooHoo!!! Congratulations @Dianne!!!

Thanks everyone! Time is flying by!!! I hardly ever think about smoking anymore and although I still run into triggers from time to time it’s becoming second nature to be dismissive of them. I have a new life to live!!! All of this from a 2 pack a day 35 year smoker of just 5 short months ago!

Good luck today Ace!
