Good morning everyone!  I haven't been on here since March, but I wanted to give everyone an update.  I quit smoking on January 29th, 2021 and I am STILL smoke free!  This coming Friday, I will be exactly 6 months smoke free.  I'm truly excited about this.  According to the app I have, I have saved about $1,153.10 USD so far, I have not smoked 3,548 cigarettes, and gained 44.5 days of life!  I still have not had a single craving since the day that I quit.  I don't understand it, but I'm so not going to question it.  I have also spent time with 4 different friends that are smokers (2 at a time) and we hung out outside and they chained smoked.  The most recent being this past Saturday.  It smelled disgusting and I had to do my laundry when I got home because everything reeked to high heaven, but I never had a craving!  

 

To everyone just beginning their quite journey, you can absolutely do it!  Stick with it and resist any urges you have to pick up a cigarette!  Just keep reminding yourself why you quit in the first place.  For me, it was definitely anxiety and covid related.  I got severe, debilitating anxiety out of nowhere in December and part of that was fear of getting covid and dying.  Since the pandemic is still a very real and current thing, I have absolutely no problem reminding myself why I quit.  So find your reason, post reminders so it's always in your face, whatever helps.  You got this!!!

Thank you! It's been a lot easier than I thought it would be and I'm definitely glad for that. :)  If I could apply the same mindset to my job...life would be golden.  LOL

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.
