Hi everyone!  I am new here, but I will admit to lurking for the last few weeks.  I had my last cigarette 2 weeks ago, yay me!  I probably won't post a whole lot, but it has been very inspiring and helpful to me to read everyone's posts here.  I do intend to do my daily NOPE though.  I don't know if my mindset is finally right this time, but so far, things are going pretty good.  I smoked way way too long and of course, tried several times to quit, with patches, cold turkey, cutting back, etc.  I have read Alan Carr's book, and I re-read it too; however, contrary to what Mr. Carr teaches, I am wearing the patch and aside from the first several days of feeling anxious and a little extra crabby, every day gets a little easier.  Evenings are the hardest for me, so with the help of pretzels, candy, chocolate, Netflix binge watching, and going to bed early, I have been able to manage my craves.  I saw a couple people in their cars smoking yesterday and all I thought was I feel sorry for them, when with past quit attempts I would always see someone smoking and think I want one too.  Now I have no desire for one and I for sure never want to have to quit again, so definitely just NOPE!!

Thank you Doreen, just reading your posts over the past couple of weeks has been super inspiring to me.  I can honestly say reading the posts on this board has really been a saving grace for me, so I am very very thankful I found it!  When I started this quit, I knew that I wanted it, but doubted myself and my ability to actually do it, but then stumbled upon this community and it has really given me the confidence I needed to get into the right mindset to make this quit my last quit.  I feel better health wise already, its amazing.

Welcome Missdixie!  So glad you came out of the shadows and introduced yourself.  Two weeks is a tremendous accomplishment, and you should be very proud.  It sounds like you have the right mindset this time around!!

Good job. Don't look at the chicks game. You can get labeled a cheater there

 

As for not posting....mistake. Need to post steady for a year. The people I know will succeed spend a bunch of time here. Ask around and everyone will agree. Hard to fail when in this place and participating.

Hi (again) Missdixie :)

Glad you decided to introduce yourself. Also glad the discussions here have been helpful to you. What Bakon said about participating tends to be true, based on what I have seen in my short time here. The people you see chiming in on a regular basis are the one's you see being successful in the long run. We're a bit of an odd bunch but fun too. Feel free to join us any time you like. Bottom line - nothing but a lot of love and support for quitters around here :)

Welcome Missdixie!  You should be very proud of your 2 week quit.  That's really great!  Glad you know about the daily NOPE pledge.  If you do that every day and see it as an unbreakable commitment to yourself and others here, you can't help but succeed.

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.
