Quitting Smoking is not as hard as......

 

Learning to juggle

Solving a Rubin's cube

.....

I jest but seriously.....

Being ashamed of yourself every single day

Suffering from ever lower self esteem

Thinking every new ache/pain/twinge is a sign of cancer

Feeling guilty for smoking near your children

Wondering if seeing you smoke will set your children up for the same torment

Trying to take up running and realising that you can't breathe with seconds

Laying awake at night hating yourself for not quitting

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.
