What the Fluffies say--"awwww..Sorry about your relapse..get back on track and start again"

  "Never quit the quit"   "Life is tough yes..but you can do this"  "Get back on the horse and do it again"  "You've got this, YAY!!!" 

 

What the Toughies say--"Be truthful with  yourself"  "Everything you are saying is BS"  "where was your SOS????"  "you need to take your quit seriously as if your life depends on it!!!"  "stop with the excuses!!"  "you think I'm being too hard on you?  Well try getting cancer!", "easy peasy!!!"

 

The truth is...on a successful quit board....we need BOTH types of support.  That's why it works here.  They compliment each other.  They are both vital.

 

Sometimes you need a gentle hand,  sometimes you need a swift kick in the butt and to be called out on your s**t...and sometimes you need both at the same time.

 

But...I believe..despite our different styles of support...we agree on more than we disagree, that is for sure.

 

One word we all use frequently...no matter what type of support we dish out....is  NOPE!!  

 

I think we also agree...that everyone can quit smoking.

 

 

What else do you think we all agree on when it comes to quitting smoking?

I think we can all agree that anybody can quit smoking because we are proof !

Quitting smoking is ultimately DO-ABLE no matter who you are. 

All it takes is a commitment to never taking another puff again...ever.

 

I hope we all agree that honesty, truth and integrity concerning our quits is essential.

We no longer believe the addict's lies and must be rigorous in revealing them to protect our quits. 

 

We likely agree that the sticks Cheat.  Always have.

I have to admit I am a fluffy.  You probably figured that out right away.  I can't accept anyone being a lost cause (except maybe bakon. He is either a bad boy or a dirty old man lol).

I think you need all the personalities combined together for the forum to work.  Sometimes it just takes the right person clicking with another person for things to work.   

I have great love and respect for you all because you have helped me save my life.

And we can also agree that if Bakon was any dumber, he would be required by law to wear a helmet at all times.

@Linda Thomas you are most definitely a toughie! (A tough lady that is) I love watching you quit! A true inspiration❤️ 

 

  You can't quit and smoke at the same time. It's one or the other. (And one=all)

  The only true way to quit smoking is to stop putting the dang things in your mouth and then Never! Take! Another! Puff!

  Education on nicotine addiction builds a firm quit foundation.

I think I am a Fluffy... dunno figure you catch more flies with honey than vinegar... doesn't mean I don't care when someone looses their quit... just .. oh I dunno... maybe its the big sister in my, I just want to do the gently, gently... I always try to find something positive... ironically if I was to SOS personally the foot up the arse, tough love approach would achieve more in keeping me quit than the hand holding approach.

I will take fluffy, toughie and everything in-between.

 

I have learnt in the last 24 hours it's hard to quit alone. 

 

Sometimes you don't appreciate your quit family until they're not there.

I wish booger Linda thomass and jiller (which I think is slang for what women do when they "double click the mouse") weren't here.

 

Then again glad they are. Like hanging out with people so dumb I look smart.

I don't really subscribe to fluff or tough.  Just the facts will suffice.

 

Quitting is simple.  Smoking offers nothing positive.  Every "reason" to smoke is just an excuse to get a nicotine fix.

 

Keep it simple folks.  There's no point in making straight lines crooked.

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.
