  1. Oh my Heavens, you guys are spectacular! You have hearts of gold! Every day, I've been meaning to get online, but a weird thing happened. I woke up one morning with a phenomenal burst of energy, and I've been doing chores and projects like a madwoman for a week straight. And at the end of the day, I sit on the couch and turn on my computer, but I'm so wiped out I fall asleep immediately. I'm finally burning out, and sick of sleeping on the couch. I'm suddenly looking back at my life, which was spent smoking, and sorry that I missed out on the rewards of being productive. And my aching lung is getting better every day; it seems to have been from the injury when I fell. But it scared me so much that I've been on a major health kick, no more junk food. Sooooo, that's the update. I hope you're all doing well, and a thousand "thank you's" for thinking of me!!! hugs

  2. Welcome back DizzyD - you were missed! I can't tell you how deeply saddened we all were to hear of the tragedy in Christchurch. That was horrible and to have gone through what you did was something none of us would have wanted to go through. You have both learned a lesson about your addiction though by going through what you have - smoking makes NOTHING better, only make things worse. Carry that lesson forward and let us support you through your new, permanent quit. I understand why you feel bad about falling off the train but don't dwell on that. Just see it as a learning experience. What counts is that you keep at it until you find your freedom. We're still here to support you. Let us give you a hand to board the train again

  6. Hi Dizzy So you got off the train at the station and stretched your legs but you got back on the train before it left the station. Sorry you lost your quit but congrats on requiting. It just shows that no matter what the circumstances having a cig is never a help and that there is no such thing as just one for us addicts.

  7. If at first you don't succeed, try again! I'd guess 99% of us here did not manage to quit first time so we understand. Welcome back You must have been terrified, I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

  8. Welcome back! You have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about regarding the relapse. You’ve acknowledged it, time to move on. Thank goodness your family is physically safe. The mental damage will take much time to heal if it ever does. I’m broken hearted over the tragedy in Christchurch. I’m so sad for NZ-heck- for all of us!

  10. Hey fellow passengers It’s been a long long time since I last dropped by the quit train but I was encouraging someone on fb to sign up as they are struggling with their quit and it got me to thinking I should stop by and say hi! I’m still not smoking, over 3 years now and I couldn’t even say how many cigs for the bonfire that is!! Ive been catching up on some posts and there’s loads of new people I haven’t met and it’s also lovely to see the familiar names of before, and in particular it’s amazing to see the lovely Doreen is still here supporting everyone. So yeah, hi guys!! Hope you are all still rocking your quits!

  11. Hi Dizzy and welcome back. I am so sorry for all you have been through. I too was ready to not come back. So glad I did. Only advise I can offer being so new here is stick around and if need be post an SOS if things get tough. These wonderful people saved my quit the other day. Had coat on and was ready to walk out the door and felt embarrassed to sos. But I did and it worked. So happy we are going to ride this journey together.

  13. MLMR I agree with Jillar above. I went thru the same thing during my quit especially the 6-8 month part of it. I started coming out the down and out and no fun type of thing in the autumn when I really began to notice all the benefits of no longer smoking one day when I was on the front porch and realized that I could smell all the things that make up the seasons. From that point on I started getting used to "the new normal" and since then have been getting back to the new normal. The first year you will see many changes and in the end you will be proud and glad that you did quit.!!!!!

  15. What a nightmare you lived through, Dizz. I'm so glad you're safe and decided to come back. Good for you for jumping right back into quitting, and I believe you're going to make it stick this time.

  17. Glad you are back dizzy and that you did not delete the account. At least you committed to quit again and that is important. My heart goes out to all of you in New Zealand -- It must be horrifying to go thru something like that. Anyway take your place back on the train and know we will be behind you!!!

  18. So very sorry about the latest Terror. It is all too sad. Nicotine addiction is a fierce foe and you needn't feel shame or embarrassment over struggling with it. We are on your side and you will build a successful quick of this I have no doubt. Please take very good care of yourself and hug your children extra tight.

  21. Aw Hi Martian and Jillar. It’s nice to meet you guys. Sazarac!! It’s so great to see you still here! I did have a good quit didn’t I? One of the few times in my life when the stars aligned I think. It just all clicked in my head. I ‘got’ it. But it was this place that solidified that for me. I don’t think I would have been so strong without the train

  22. It'll pass MLMR, it's that first year quit thing and learning to adjust to our new normal. Once that first year hurdle is crossed you'll probably be able to relax and have fun much more easily

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.
