  1. My favorite female singer, Pat could sing, she could hit octaves only matched by Karen Carpenter.
  2. Let you all figure out where these guys are from.....
  3. As with many things if we fall down, we get back up, shake it off and get back at it.....try not to get down on yourself!
  4. Words of wisdom above for sure - I am only 2 weeks (smoke free) and reading Allen Carr's book ..... wish I would have read it BEFORE I set a quit date. But it is working out for me so far. Do not get down on your self, brush yourself off and get back at it, all the best to you!
  5. Good morning everyone - I am feeling really good after making it through the work week and just sitting here sipping coffee, reading through a lot of older posts. So much good/useful information shared on the train here, just amazing. Had one major exhilarating event this week: Wifee called and said she had rear ended another car, then said I got to go and hung up! I tried calling her back, NO ANSWER!!!.....my son and I were texting trying to meet up for lunch, I text him mom was in an auto accident and I cannot get ahold of her. So we are both racing/heading to Scottsdale where she works. (Now I am pumped full of adrenaline, really wanting a smoke, mouth full of peppermint candies, trying to do breathing exercises, while racing across town) then my son calls, has talked to his mom and she backed into a parked car, everything was ok and not a lot of damage to the cars. I am now angry! with a mouth full of mints, trying breathing exercises....why did she answer his call not mine, how is rear ending someone similar to, backing into a parked car!!!!! Anyway, I really, really, really wanted a smoke but did not and I did get to meet up with my son for lunch. Also - I do not recommend filling your mouth with mints and trying to do breathing exercises.
  6. Another - had all of these guys albums!
  7. You found the right place to help with quitting smoking @11better11 all the best to you!
  8. Finally found these at wally world today, they are perfect, thanks for the lead on them Really liking the ticker, who ever came up with that great job!
  9. Hello! Yesterday, going back to work was tough, new and different triggers to deal with. Not terrible, but you sure realize how much smoking dominated everything you do. Today was a little easier, being prepared or knowing where/when all the trouble would be coming from and be ready with a big NOPE! What I have learned here has helped so much understanding what the heck is going on and why I feel the way I do. My caffeine intake is around 35% of what it was (which was a lot) while smoking, so feeling a little sluggish .... but good, hard to describe, more solid or stable I guess. I am sleeping good and deep breathing exercises are starting to be routine. I think all the changes will take a little while to settle in as normal for me as a non-smoker. Been checking out the web site here and one thing for sure is, I won't be playing the chicks with sticks game So grateful to be on the train and smoke free, as I said before, my quit would have been so much different without you all. Thank you

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.
