Thank you one and all! Everyone can give themselves a pat on the back for helping me quit and change my life for the better! I hope everyone can break free from smoking and regain their health and life.

I have never described the beginning of my quit since I didn’t find the forum until I was quit for about a week and because I didn’t want it to seem like a plea for sympathy. On July 22 just before midnight I put out my last cigarette and threw the remaining ones in the trash. On July 23 at 5 o’clock in the morning my mother-in-law passed away. She was a beautiful woman and had her faculties even at 94 years. When I would push her wheelchair from bingo back to her room, I’d ask, “Stairs or the elevator?” and she always said elevator.

So I quit on a day of sorrow but I never connected quitting with what was happening in my life, they were different things. Stress and grief were going to happen in my life whether I smoked or not. Smoking would not make it better, only worse.

Smokers will lie to themselves and say that they will wait for a good time to quit. The good time to quit is right now, yesterday was a better time to quit, and a year ago was really good for me.

I'll make dinner on Saturday to celebrate!

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.
