We all have them.  One of mine when I ran into a train as it crossed a road I was driving down.  I slipped on ice, going too fast for the conditions really.

It seemed like I would was sliding on that ice forever!  In the last few moments before colliding with the train I decided to try to ditch the car in a snowbank.  It worked too, but unfortunately there was a guard rail under that snow bank and when I hit it I was propelled back out of the snowbank and into the train.

 

My car caught on for a second and I was pulled along and then suddenly it released.  The car was a mangled mess.  The engine was actually in my lap and the drivers door was gone...I was stuck half in and half out of the car on a bitter cold winter day.  The radio was playing Jessie James by Cher.  I remember thinking that if the radio was on there could be a fire, so I turned it off.  I could see people in the background but they were scared to approach until I made some noise.  Poor things were affraid of what they would see. It took emergency crews 2 hours to cut me from the car.  I only had minor injuries really which was a miracle in itself.  

 

Throughout the entire ordeal, I wanted to smoke so badly.  I could see them on the floor but couldn't reach them.  It drove me nuts!   Even in the face of a life or death situation, I was focused on smoking more than anything else.  Pfftt.  Never again.

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.
