Hello I am officially quit.  Woke up and felt like it was time. No planning just felt awful. Throat sore, weezing, numbness in my feet for quite some time. Put out the last cigarette at 10:30 and said to myself this is it. Cold turkey and no looking back. 

 

Been a pack a day smoker for 50 years. Everything I do revolves around that so called reward. Just reading here this morning has been an eye opener. Who rewards themself with poison?  

 

I know I have a long way to go but I am so determined to succeed. So I am going to continue to read and educate myself and hold myself accountable by pledging NOPE.  I will succeed.  Thanks for listening.

Hi Liz, and welcome to your new nonsmoking life!

 

I quit around my 60th birthday after a pack-and-a-half/two-packs-a-day habit that I indulged for about 42 years. I was the typical case of "but I'm more addicted than the rest of you", and "I truly enjoy/love smoking more than the rest of you". Hogwash, of course. Much reading and educating myself about the addiction, and learning coping mechanisms to get past the hurdles to quitting, and here I am almost a year later clean and clear and absolutely delighted with being a nonsmoker.

 

Congratulations on your decision to quit. You can do this!

Well done on Quitting

 

It will be tuff for a couple of days get to 72 hours and all the nicotine will be out of your system.

 

Read here and educate yourself on the addiction as much as you can.

 

Be kind to yourself

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.
