Hi all! Just found this site this morning. This is my Day 1 of quitting smoking. I quit once before for 3 years so I know i can do it again. Look forward to giving and getting support with fellow quitters!

Welcome aboard Rose.  Go ahead and get comfortable and get to know  the site and people both will be a good resource.  Come here a lot to research and get support and I highly recommend doing the daily NOPE pledge, it has worked wonders for me.

Welcome aboard Rosewothorne! I'm curious as to how you are quitting ..... cold turkey, NRT products or prescription medications? Not that it matters - just curious. Also wondering if you used a support group like this one last time you quit. The support from other quitters can be a very useful and important tool in your quit journey.

 

As others have said already, educate yourself as much as possible about this addiction. That will go a long way in helping you to stay quit for good. Stay active here - it really does help keep you focused.

Thanks all! I'm trying to keep a positive outlook on this whole thing and appreciate your feedback and inspiration. I am using Chantix to help with my quit and I did use a support group the last time I quit many years ago. It was very helpful to educate myself and read others' experience and ask for help when I need it. It was also good to be around people with similar situations. I was more a reader/stalker then and this time I think I'd like to be more vocal or active poster. 

 

All the best... Rose

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.
