Airing of Grievances

OK.... take some deep breaths.... take many deep breaths and put your brain into gear before you put your gob into action! You know you can do it.... you did it before and you can keep on doing it..... Go find whatever you need to help you through this.... Kiss the dog, kick the OH, rant at the kids, but DON'T PUT A CIGGIE IN YOUR GOB AND SET LIGHT TO IT!!!!! KEEP THAT QUIT..... YOU WORKED HARD FOR IT... YOU DESERVE TO KEEP IT INTACT! Remember how much your mom hated you smoking the evil weed. Remember how it did for your dad.... JUST STOP IT NOW! CHOOSE LIFE.... choose YOU.

Merry Christmas Quit Train!!

I will come hear for support and just reading how other people cope gives you that help you need and it helps to no that you are not alone on this journey and ever one is so different but it’s good to talk it keeps you going on this quit train that everyone is on

Hi hope you well still going not had one yet felt very off for a few days but I tell myself I don’t smoke eny more and I need to do this for me and my family wishing you a happy xsmas and all the best for 2018 and I keep saying I can do this and good luck to all that have just started this hard train ride ????

Nope ?????

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on this train!

In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months.... I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid.... I could deal with that too..... When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) whilst you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that. If you're a momma bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line... you swat them too. I could deal with that. If you're a bear, you mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. YUP... gonna be a bear!

Why Not Be Both

I love piggies.....

I could go on and on about being a pig but ........................ I'll spare everyone

Hi Jannet and welcome to our family I'm sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds to me like your mother was lucky to have you there to make decisions for her that she could not at the time. And, I'm sure she would be very proud to know you are taking on this challenge to improve you own life! This is without question the best decision you could possibly make for YOU going forward. Rest assured, we are all here to support you as you find your way to freedom. Please feel free to come here and ask anything you want or just vent if that's what you feel like. We know exactly what you are going through as you quit smoking and we are here to support you in your journey. Understanding why you chose to smoke again and having a plan to avoid that happening again will be a key to your success going forward. This addiction we all share is a monster and will attack us at our weakest moments trying to draw us back into it's deadly clutches. Fight it Jannet! Fight it will all you have! Education about this addiction and your unwavering commitment are what is needed to find your freedom. NOPE is the only thing you need to do each and every day (Not One Puff Ever). Participating with other quitters is an important element in our quits I believe so please hang around and get to know us

Nope dope

The train ride might be hard at times Virginia but we are all taking the same journey and, our common destination is FREEDOM! I have found it really helps to communicate with other quitters. Others can be supportive to you but only another quitter really understands exactly what you are going through

Remember to read, read, read everything on this site you can. Look for the pinned threads at the top of the Quit Smoking Discussions page! Watch as many of the Joel videos as you can too. There's an entire library available to you here on a separate page. Education about this addiction + personal commitment + support from other quitters = success It is really very simple - just never take another puff ..... ever! This may not seem easy to do at first but once you understand and truly believe that smoking does nothing good for you, it becomes much easier. Focus on the positive things that come your way once you quit. There are all kinds of good things that start to happen the moment you stop smoking.

NOPE

If there is a next time, please post an SOS before you smoke, not after!!

Albert, good for you to jump right back on the train. I’m sorry you’ll have to go through the tough parts of quitting again but that’s the consequence. You can do this, Albert! You must really want to- you could have just disappeared... but you didn’t. Now KTQ!!!

NOPE!

Nah...NOPE!

Well done on stopping again. Remember how you are feeling now. You will only feel that way again, if you choose to. Smoking is a choice. Choose not to smoke. Keep on keeping' on.

remember the lethargy the ugly coughs and the stains on your teeth running out of breath climbing two flights of stairs the self loathing the indifference and the numbness the dependence and the compulsion the frustration and the aggression the shame of doing it despite being fully aware of all of this and more And then remember the energy The pride in dealing with your problems The hope The strong will to live long and do things that matter to you The freedom Take a minute (or three ?) Think about this. It may seem irrelevant right now, but you'll see the point again in an hour, a day, or a week. Remember how bad that feels. You know both paths. You are strong enough. Make a choice you won't regret. (Remember how bad that feels?)

Merry Christmas to my quit train family!!

To all my new 2017 friends at Quit Train I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope 2018 delivers good health and happiness to all of us. Take time to relax and enjoy the season with family and friends - enjoy folks!

Ho ho ho

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year Quit Train. Have a great holiday season and may 2018 do right by you.

If your still smoking ....this book could probally save your life..why not treat yourself this Christmas....

Asleep on the job -20!!! woohoo

Is it time for the airing of grievances?!?! Happy Festivus!

Erm.... how does one find the games?? Bit of a technobimbo here.... sorry!

Hello Arynn..... I hope you are still protecting your quit. Post often and in between watch Joel's video's.... I lost my quit, but I've made myself get right back up here and face my nicodemons again. I know what chronic ill health is like. I've had fibromyalgia for years.... it's tough living with a long term illness, but smoking makes it worse. I sincerely hope you feel able to come in again to share how you feel, and how you are managing to get through this. Keep on keepin' on chick... J

Kizzy says NOPE too.... and she ain't no dope

^^ Welcome OBM Stick around and be like us .......... quitters!

You can do this....you just have to want it bad enough...take it one day at a time... Read everything you can here...come here for support...if I can after 52 years ..you can...

Nope

Yep, some people swear by it.

Aww sad to read this Albert..but the good news is...you just get rtight back on the train and buckle yourself in... My advice to you is..stay much closer to the board...post more often...post a NOPE daily...this will help make your quit more solid... You know you don't want to be a smelly smoker . Read ,read,read more here...learn by your mistake.... You can do it.....

Enjoy that mountain air, Latoya! Nice deep breaths and NOPE!

Ehem, my apologies for the delay in saying THANK YOU! All you nutty, zany, wonderful people helped me achieve what I once thought was impossible, and I appreciate every one of you. Serious. For all of you new to your quit, I have this... It's simple to quit. Initially, it's not easy, but wanting it is all you really need. I'm not dismissing the anxiety or sleeplessness, etc., because I know it's real. All I'm saying is, if you want it, you'll have it. Dig deep, keep going, and one day, you'll wake up and it'll be 3 years since you lit up. And when someone drops you a note saying Congrats, you too might pause and think 'what'd I do?' because the smoking thing is long gone from your daily radar. I have a special shoutout - Nancy, thank you SO much for being the first to reach out your hand and welcome me to the group. I will be forever grateful for that act of kindness. For the rest of you newbies and old pharts...be well, play nice and Keep the Quit.

NOPE

Merry Christmas, everyone! wishing all of you nothing but the best in the years ahead!

merry christmas

Stay with us Latoya You will find you are no different than us. We all had to find our way and we all completely understand what you are going through. No one knows about quitting better than a quitter

You've still got nicotine in your system so the 3 day rule doesn't apply. The idea with the patch is to use it temporarily (if you must) to quit smoking but you must quit nicotine completely in order for you succeed in your quit. NRT is okay so long as you plan on getting off it it ASAP. Pretty much you're delaying the withdrawal process by using the patch vs cold turkey but people have success with it. Also, please don't let withdrawal horror stories influence you at all because many have no issues with withdrawal. I didn't. The time you put between you and nicotine the less and less you'll think about it. I never forget that I was once a smoker but I can tell you that in times of stress, the thought of smoking doesn't even enter my mind. If somebody would have told me this before I quit I wouldn't have believed them. Stick around the board and post, read, watch videos and learn how to beat this drug addiction. As long as you attack it for what it is, a drug addiction, you'll be free before you know it!

Hello everyone! I’m Arynn! I’m 24 years old and I have been smoking since I was 16. The past few months I’ve been having money problems because I’m chronically ill and have a lot of health provlems. I was forced to quit and I was bitter! My dad passed away this last May and when I was born he quit cold turkey immediately. I thought about this and decided I owe him this back by quitting. So, I’m currently 90 hour smoke free and I feel like I’m going to die. I’ll post more about more about me and my symptoms and story in another topic! I look forward to meeting new people.
