  7. No no no nope no no! Three years cig free coming Feb 5th. Incredible for this former 2-3 pack a day chain smoker. I bicycle and play pickleball now. My family is incredibly proud of me. Not One Puff Ever. Anyone trying to quit I wish you the best. It WAS hard at first, the first few months. But it just got easier and easier from there. Stay close to this site; the folks here helped me through it all.

  10. G’day Jillar Im sorry to hear that you’ve been so sick. I had no idea. Here’s praying that you get better sooner rather than later I know it’s easy to say don’t worry about those nodules but please they are more likely to be benign. I have more than a passing interest in growths in the lungs. I have them they were discovered in the tests before my prostate cancer OP. Multiple under 1 cm and in both lungs. The prostate cancer was more advanced so I went into the OP for that. The nodules are still there 3 1/2 years later and aren’t growing. They recon they are the damage left from the pneumonia that lead to me giving up the cigs in the first place. Crazy thing is the last ct scan the doc that gave me the results said “are you going to start smoking again! “ Now that’s not happening I can tell you that. Hang in there. It will all go well Chris

  11. Howdy! Quit cold turkey 9/26/2016. It has been one helluva ride. Made it through turbulent waters and now I'm coasting in laminar flow. Early on, I relied on (too heavily probably-)the words/poetry of Mike Piano and Bassman Two gents from another site. Newbies should find soft landing here Stay awhile and nurture your quit. Some quitters prefer a more hard-ass approach. Not me. It was not as easy as Allen Carr promised. Some days, the craves crashed over me. I nearly drowned. But I did not. Every so often I feel a twinge. An ache. A temptation. Nostalgia's whisper is a scream. I vowed NOPE from day 1 of my forever quit. I've kept that promise. As for the picture -- for those that know me, know that I haven't figured out how to post those clever mimes, gifs, crap whatever y'all call it... Yep to NOPE! L4L

  13. Whenever you're concerned you should go to your dr. I can tell you that the cilia n your lungs is starting to regrow and begin it's job of trying to clean out all the junk in your lungs so shortness of breath is sometimes a symptom of that as is chest tightness BUT we aren't Drs so for your own peace of mind it doesn't hurt to give your dr a call and maybe get checked out. Congrats on 15 days quit, you're doing awesome

  14. That sounds like a horrible thing you went through Jillar. Very scary. Glad you're back home now and making progress. I'm not sure that would be the case if you hadn't quit smoking a few years ago. Be sure to advocate for yourself when it comes to your medical care. It can be very frustrating, but it's your life and welfare we're talking about. Best wishes for a rapid recovery and peace of mind.

  17. Hi everyone! I'm on day 15 of quitting. Sunday night I had a volleyball double header (had been off 6 weeks and this was the first night back). I felt fine during the game, but the past 3 days since I've kindof felt short on breath, chest feels tight/sharp pains while breathing. Also while laying down on my right side it hurts (feels better laying on left side). I'm thinking I may have just pulled a muscle in my chest or something after jumping back into volleyball after not playing over a month. I wasn't sure if the stopping smoking may have had an effect on this also? The pain seems to be going away a little each day so wasn't sure if should go to the doctor or wait it out a few more days?

  27. Rozuki In 25 days, I will celebrate 3 yrs quit!! I have had a few health issues in those 3 years, but survived a stroke in 2017 and CABG x 3 open heart surgery in 2018. No complaints and my doctors are happy with how I am doing. Gained quite a few lbs\kg (due to the heart surgery, not the fact that I quit smoking!!) but have managed to lose a few of 'em...will be doubling down on the exercise as I need to fit into a bathing suit the week of May 1st!!! I retired January 2019 and in process of getting my house ready to sell this summer...fingers crossed it goes quickly and smoothly. Here is a cute pic of one of my dogs, his name is Panda....he is a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) and is a sweetie-pie of a little tuff guy!

  28. This is so great to see all of you. No I am not participating as yet, except to say its nearly 12 months non smoking. I never do selfies, I never divulge my age or Gender if I can help it. I never ever want to smoke again.

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.
