  5. still havent broke through the 160s lol
  6. I am going to tell you what helped me in the beginning..... 1. running or walking or any exercise whenever I had a crave, felt anger, or anything really 2. lots of water 3. goldfish thats right goldfish(the ones you eat not the ones that swim lol) 4. JUST DO NOT SMOKE NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!! This is important it is ok to cry, it is ok to scream, it is ok to whatever but just do not smoke it WILL get better you just have to let it. 5. listen to people here when they tell you it will get better they know of which they speak. Now I will tell you how I came to the decision to quit: In march of 2012 I had a horrible cholesterol test so I decided I needed to do something because I did not want to take a statin (not a good pill taker lol) my triglycerides were 300!!!! So I decided I would lose weight, I was obese to be honest so I was doubly killing myself I was obese AND I smoked. I decided to work on the weight loss first (why I did not do it together I dont know lol excuses) by August of that year I was down to 175lbs from 231 lbs. My husband ended up having a heart stent placement, his LAD/descending artery was 90% blocked (if he had a heart attack it would have been really bad it is also known as the widow maker) he decided then and there to quit and he never looked back he stopped on the spot. I smoked for the next two weeks than decided I was done I did not want to smoke around him plus I did not want to smoke outside in the cold lol. It was time. I never regretted it and I still dont! At my yearly check up in April of 2013 my cholesterol test was excellent my triglycerides are down to 87 the doctor said they were frame-able I do believe I impressed him and I did it without statins also. right now I am still 160lbs havent broke through the 160 plateau but I am healthy so that is what matters. Oh yeah I discovered that I love running and that I love it outside when it is kinda chilly out who would thought that. Bottom line you can quit everyone can. Do whatever you need to. Like NIKE said Just do it!!! lol

  10. I feel it is better to empathize than sympathize and alot of times people just want someone to listen or a shoulder to cry on or lean on.......silence sometimes speaks volumes to someone going through something.

  17. Welcome!! :)
  18. Cold turkey, NRTs, patches, chantix wellbutrin, yoga, meditation, exercise, running whatever helps quit and gets you to the end result that is what is important, quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for your health. One benefit of using exercise or running to quit smoking is that you will not gain weight and only become healthier as a byproduct. Just take that plunge and quit smoking. We will support your goal here at the quittrain.com :)

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.
