  8. Hope you are doing well and are still smoke free @Pilgrim Lighting up isn't going to make anything better, only much worse. Hope you have kept the quit.
  9. Come back and let us know how you are doing @Pilgrim. I'm gonna give you a piece of advice that I give all people in the beginning of their quit, that worked for me. What I did in the beginning is, I would take cinnamon sticks and pretend they were cigarettes, sucking in the air and pretending to blow it out. It did help, and plus they tasted really good. If you don't like cinnamon, you can use cut up straws. What also helped me was coming on here every day, which you do mostly. Keep doing it! Also try the cinnamon sticks, they really did help a lot. I used them for about 2-3 months, (those months, IMO are the absolute worst.) Give it a try, as it certainly can't hurt you. You can overcome this addiction! Believe me, if I can quit, anyone can! Put it this way, if you go back to smoking and then decide to quit again, you will have to go through ALL these withdrawal symptoms again!!! Who would ever want to do that many times? Certainly NOT me!!! Stick with it @Pilgrim, you can get through this!!

  16. Two months nicotine free is awesome BUT you are NOT past the 'ole Merry-Go-Round that most of us experience when we quit. Your body is fighting with itself (mentally, physically) to find its new normal way to function. The draw to return to "what was" is a part of the process but here's the thing -- if you smoke you will lose what you have gained and I believe you will never be okay with staying a smoker and will want to quit again. Do you really want to redo those months again? Distract yourself, get up and move, do whatever you need to do except smoke. It will pass. Cravings pop up from time to time but with more time & patience and action on your part they WILL get fewer and fewer eventually. Choose. Being a former smoker or an active smoker. Break the chain.
  17. Good on you for posting here! Stay strong. Cravings are not commands, they are just loud annoying commercials for junk you don’t wanna buy. Distract yourself, re-read how the addicted brain works, reflect on your triggers. Anything but sacrificing your precious quit.

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.
