QuittingGirl

Since today is my 1 year quitting anniversary, I dedicate this song to all my friends on The Train!! Thank you all for your friendship! Queen is my favorite band, I have loved them since I'm 15. Not gonna say when that was....LOL!!!!

Thanks Paul 7

Welcome back!! I didn't read the book, but I'm glad you decided to quit again and we all know how difficult it is. If quitting wasn't so difficult, this site wouldn't exist. Just take it one day at a time, one hour or minute at a time and keep coming on here a lot. I recommend you coming on every day, as it certainly has helped me and others. Vent to us when you need to as we are always here to help you! One thing that helped me early in my quit was using cinnamon sticks as fake cigarettes. I would suck air through the hole and make believe I was blowing smoke out of my mouth, plus the taste of cinnamon is so nice. If you don't like cinnamon, you can use cut up straws. This is my 2nd time quitting and the last because who wants to constantly go through those withdrawal symptoms every time we decide to quit! Not me, as it was horrible and I'm sure for most of us on this site. Just keep focusing on quitting and you will do fine. As I said, just stay close to The Train. All the best to you!!!

Thanks so much folks! I can't believe it's been a year already. It seems like yesterday when I came on this site talking about how I was struggling with the weaning method smoking two cigs a day. I think back to those early days and how horrible I felt, climbing the walls, being such a beyatch. Ohh it was a horrible time for sure and I was such a mess. Thank you for all your help and friendship, I appreciate it so much. I am definitely going to remain vigilant, and the easiest way to remain quit, is to just not take that one cigarette!! I think I am doing so well, considering my mom lives downstairs from me and she smokes, (we own a 2 family house), and I am down by her a lot. I think me smelling her smoke keeps me in check and makes me stronger. I certainly could have stolen a cig or two when she wasn't looking, but I won't. Although I still do get the urge, but it's not nearly as bad as it was in the beginning. Being a part of The Train has helped me tremendously, getting advice from all of you, but also giving advice to newbies who have climbed aboard after me. I consider myself a "regular" passenger on The Train now. I'm not a newbie anymore, but I will always need The Train. @Reciprocity, as you say, quitting smoking is a lifelong job, so that is why I am always gonna be around here! I am truly touched by your kindness and friendship towards me and I really consider you my friends even though it's online. It's too bad we all live in different parts of the country and world, it would be so great to have a meetup! Thanks so much again guys!! Love, Sandi
