In my 52 year smoking addiction, I tried to quit hundreds of times Some lasting hours , some last a week , even got a couple of months going . it always ended in failure After being quit for over 12 years , I know where I went wrong . I didn’t have the tools, the knowledge . i didn’t have a family of Quitters helping me along . Life is wonderful without that horrendous addiction which had me on the verge of amputation. Everyone thinks it won’t happen to them until it does

NOPE

I definitely believe that the Train helped me get through all this. I really don't think I could have done it without all of your help. Yes, like @Reciprocity said, smoking is definitely more prevalent overseas than it is in the States and Canada. Hopefully we will get new members that stick around so we can help them!

Absolutely! It definitely takes time for those withdrawal symptoms to go away, but they definitely do, I can promise everyone that. The trick is to just stick with it and don't have even one puff, NOT ONE!! It's not easy in the beginning, we all know that, but quitting smoking is so doable as all of us here can attest to! You can do it!!

NOPE for today!

Babs609 I always found it was similar to waiting for water to boil...seems like it takes forever. The quit is a roller coaster ride. Good days, bad days, a great morning followed by a crappy evening and vice versa. I think knowing this ahead of time sets your mind at ease because you understand its part of the process and won't last forever. Also helps to know you are not alone...and that it really does get better. But it's gradual. You will be going about your day then suddenly realize "wow! I haven't even thought about smoking in hours or days or months". It's an awesome moment.

NOPE

Nope!

There's been a downward trend over all, according to CDC studies over the past decade or so.. Even the lower percentage years represent millions of Americans; and that's just the USA. Smoking cigs is much, much more prevalent in some Eurpoean & other countries considered to be 3rd world countries so there's still a great need for sites like Quit Train to encourage people thinking about quitting and then helping them along the way with positive support and never any judgement. I think we'd all agree that quitting on the Train with all the other quitters was an important part of our success! Thank you to Quit Train and all it's members who helped drag me through the tough days of my quit. It was quite a surprise to me how much the support of others helped me

Maybe it's because there are fewer and fewer smokers, that need/want to quit.. It's very rare that I even see anyone smoking anymore. And when I do it's usually an older person, not a young one. I think all the quit smoking campaigns and such over the last few decades have finally paid off.
