When I first quit smoking, I had just found a new "favorite" song... it was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTxythHY09k. Just a cute little ditty...

 

Since I happen to use my cell phone as my alarm clock, I used that song to wake me up every morning. I remember the feeling so well... in the early days of my quit, the feeling of overwhelming happiness...

 

I DID IT, I DON'T NEED TO SMOKE ANY MORE, I QUIT, I'M FREE !!!

 

I'd lay there, listen to Norah Jones, and glory in knowing that I won my freedom.

 

To this day... over a year later... whenever I hear that song, I instantly get the same, wonderful feeling... I think I will ALWAYS love that song. :-)

I totally hear what you are saying here.  There are certain songs that remind me of certain situations.  The fact that you can relate a memory so awesome and powerful as quitting smoking to a song is cool.  Whenever you get down...you can go to that song to bring you back up. 

 

Keep on keepin on.

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.
