Thanks everyone!

 

I’ve been thinking about change lately and pondering about why it is so difficult for some, including me.  In my own family in the last year or so I’ve lost one brother because he couldn’t / wouldn’t change and had another save himself by changing for the better.  Eleven years ago I changed by quitting smoking and I know now if I hadn’t, I’d be suffering from a slew of health consequences.  Humans are predisposed to sameness and routine.  It allows us to understand our world by comparison to what we have previously experienced.  Quitting smoking shows us that we can create a new, better reality.  This is a powerful thing that we can apply to other areas of our lives; I’ve seen it many times on this forum.  For new quitters, perhaps the best advice I’ve given is “Jump!”  Take a leap of faith.  Don’t be afraid.  You can do this, you can change.  It is so worth it.

 

Both Janet723 and I are well.  Janet723 is helped by our two Siamese cats, Bobo (ExecutiveAssistant) and Ozzy (Junior Executive Assistant).  They both enjoy computing by walking on the keyboard.  At work I am nearly done with another patent and retirement is getting closer. 

 

Here’s a song I like:

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.
