We've built a bit of history here on the Quit Train, memorable moments, quirky characters, etc..  As with any institution that stands the test of time, it is important to not only look to the future but also honor our past.  Commemorate the people and artifacts that shaped who we are.

 

In reading through a current introduction post, it was clear to me what the first item enshrined at the Quit Train Hall of Fame should be.  This item is wielded by the matriarch of the Train and has scared many a quitter straight.  It is legendary and its lore lives on...

 

It is my honor to induct into the first class of the Quit Train Hall of Fame Doreen's Frying Pan....

And to think that our relationship started with a shared appreciation of dirty jokes and banjo music.

 

Another item for the hall...

If we're going to pay tribute to Bakon and his shoe obsession, we should include a pair of Bigfoot's running shoes.

 

And just to spite him, an old pair of flip-flops...

I nominate Jimmy and his bus.  He always got us windowlickers to our destination in a safe and timely manner.

I would also like to nominate the Chicks and Sticks game thread for the Hall of Fame.  That game kept me occupied during any downtime in the early days of my quit.  To a point that it felt like I traded in one addiction for another.

I nominate, @Cristóbal's,

'The Proper Sequence'

'YOU --> QUIT --> LIFE.

 

"When our quits are young, we must learn and then practice in a conscious manner,

to disconnect and keep separate our quits from all life events.
 
We learn to always keep our quits sacred, protected,

and never influenced by any life event that may happen.
 
This dynamic we may call The Proper Sequence,

and it is powered by your commitment to Never.Take.Another.Puff. (NTAP).

It does not matter what may happen on any day in your life......

as long as you maintain in a conscious manner The Proper Sequence dynamic

as a primary element of your quit, you will not smoke.

The Proper Sequence is:


YOU --> QUIT --> LIFE.

•NOT•:

YOU --> LIFE --> QUIT.


By maintaining this simple sequence dynamic in your quit,

you will not ever have your quit influenced by life events."
 
Cristóbal

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.
