  1. Please don't wait, Pilgrim: it's easy to keep delaying a quit because it doesn't feel like the right time or you don't feel as positive or confident as you think you should be. In fact, waiting for the ideal time can be a powerful form of denial--by waiting and planning and thinking, you can trick yourself into thinking that you're actually making progress. You're not. The only way to make progress is by refraining from smoking, even--perhaps especially--if you're feeling like crap. Lots of quitters say that having a positive attitude helps or is even essential to a successful quit. These perspectives have merit and definitely work for many people; however, you don't need that in order to create your lifetime quit. I was pretty miserable for awhile, ultimately trusting that I could quit myself into certainty, confidence, and happiness. That path is also available to you. You can do it, friend, and it will transform your life-- Christian99 23 1/2 Years Quit

  5. One day, hopefully soon, you’ll come to see that smoking actually adds stress rather than relieves it. It’s hard to sit through a movie when you’re thinking “How much longer before I can rush out and light up?” It sucks when you can’t enjoy a nice meal out on the town with friends because you’re so fidgety to feed your addiction. It takes time to get to the point where you don’t obsess about smoking and think of it as a reward, but when you finally clear that hurdle you’ll feel more free and unburdened than you’ve ever felt before.

Gday If you have just one you will be right back where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are right now. - Marvitta Found this out the hard way… and more than once. You’ve got hop back on … now. You know this as well as me. Just one packet stretches into a week the week a month. And the excuse stretch’s on….. You’re the difference. You know that you can do this. You can do 3 months and you can do forever.

  7. Ohh I am so sorry to hear this @Pilgrim I know life can be hard but cigarettes don't make them better at all. Please don't finish the pack, throw it away and quit again. The more you smoke the more addicted you will get and you have to go through the withdrawal symptoms again! This is my 2nd time quitting and I refuse to go through the withdrawal, it was so horrible. Please quit again! You can do it!! You just have to keep telling yourself that you won't smoke! When you decide to quit again, we will be here for you! I really hope you can do it!!

  10. Hello @Pilgrim, Not to beat a dead horse, but you can not white knuckle your way to a successful quit. If you try again, it needs to be a positive thing. Your quit needs to be wanted and loved, cherished above all else; Especially the first year. We do not give babies a cigarette when they are crying...we tend to their needs, figure out the real problem and fix it. It is the same with quitting smoking. Next time, just eat some chocolate

  11. Oh No so sorry to hear you caved in and bought a pack, yes 4 months was brilliant. You know already that they won’t help whatever is making your life crappy these days, and that you will want to quit again, if not after this pack, then very soon in the near future. I really hope you choose sooner rather than later. We are here for you .

  13. Same here!! I often participate in other forums (alcoholism and drug addiction forums, classic car restoration forums, and current event/debate type forums) I'll sometimes come across someone who mentions they are struggling with trying to quit smoking. My reply is ALWAYS the same: I send them the link to here.

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.
