  3. Beautiful picture, @Sunshine59. My aunt went on vacation to India about a year ago and loved it. You are a non-smoker now. Don't ruin it by lighting up. There is absolutely nothing positive that would come from a cigarette. Good luck with your exams and stay smoke free.

  11. I agree with Runfree, you must have a solid reason. Which one really is the most important to you? So glad you are giving it another go, so stay determined this time, as you know you want to be a non smoker and have a healthier life. I look forward to seeing you around a lot.

  12. I found it's imperative to have a solid reason for why you want to be a non-smoker. During the quit process, that reason will be tested and you will need to draw strength from it. In your above statement, you listed two reasons. Which one is the true reason for you wanting to be a non-smoker? 1) It's a palindrome date 2) I don't want to die You're going to have to dig deep and make that reason very honest and from the core of you because it WILL become your lifeline from time to time.

  17. Experimenting with playing feel-good holiday music in the background while preparing my taxes. Thought it might lead to some carryover good vibes from the halcyon days of December; offset the inherent irritability that comes with tax work. So far...I can't say that it's working.

  21. I knew I needed to quit and was building myself up to being ready to so about a month before I quit I stopped smoking in the areas I usually smoked. That way when I did quit I no longer associated those areas with smoking.

  23. OK. So, you had the best of intentions to quit smoking but, you haven't. You failed. You continue to give your power away to your addiction. I can imagine you feel disappointed in yourself, to say the least. Maybe, you are saying, 'screw it, I don't care', 'it's too hard' or 'I can't'. All of these are self-fulfilling prophesies...the voice of the addict. This isn't who you really are. You weren't born an addict. You choose addiction. Maybe, you made it a few days, maybe not even that. Maybe, you joined here and posted a little before you returned to nicotine addiction. You may feel embarrassed. You needn't. We all understand the gravity of addiction and how self-defeating it can make you feel. Please, give yourself a chance again. It is a new day. Commit to yourself. Stop the self-destruction. You can quit. We quit and none of us are superior human beings. Examine yourself and your reasons for continuing to poison yourself. Then, learn all you can about your nicotine addiction, even if you think you already know enough. You never know enough. Read carefully back through this whole thread and click on the links, listen to what successful quitters are saying. Start with one hour, one day at a time and stand by your commitment to NOPE (Not One Puff Ever). Build yourself a sturdy and successful Quit for you and your loved ones.

  28. I still belong to a pro-smoking site (the admin told me that there is no way to delete or cancel accounts). Since I can’t delete my account, I will login occasionally and post subliminal “you don’t love smoking, you’re addicted” messages or indirect “anti-smoking“ messages/replies in random threads. Who knows maybe it makes someone start thinking seriously about quitting

  34. Welcome aboard SamDy. You made the right call when you decided to give up the smokes. You can. It's a simple process: don't put things in your mouth and light them on fire. One step and you're good to go. Commit to the process and you will be rewarded many times over.

  35. So glad you are slowly recovering Cbdave. We were all in la la land when we smoked (nothing is going to happen to me) After quitting, you are living in reality. Each and every one of us hope that we will not have to face medical issues. I do find that, now that I am quit, I want to live the best, healthiest life.

  36. Be prepared to do the work. And educate yourself about nicotine addiction so you will know what to expect when you put that last cigarette out. When I quit on Jan 1 2019, I was told by many of my friends that I would be better off to pick another date. Lots of people quit on New Year's Day, they told me, but they go back to smoking when they realize how hard quitting can be. My case was different, though. I wasn't new to quitting. I had quit before, for long periods of time. I knew exactly what to expect. And I was prepared. I wasn't picking New Year's Day as some kind of last-minute New Year's resolution. I was picking that day because I decided that I wanted 2018 to be the last year I ever smoked! I wanted to start the new year fresh and smoke free. Has it been an easy ride? At times, yes. At other times, not at all. The first two weeks take a lot out of you. I was prepared for that. I gave myself plenty of time to rest. I asked my friends and family to be extra patient with me while my moods were all over the place. I had lots of Twizzlers on hand to chew on when the cravings struck. I had my tool kit ready to go. But the biggest thing I did to prepare was to tell myself that smoking would no longer be an option for me. I decided to get off the serial quitting cycle for good. I took smoking off the table and told myself I would do whatever I had to do not to smoke. Because, you see, quitting is very easy in one major respect: The only thing you really have to do to quit smoking is to not smoke. Don't light up. Don't take that first puff. That's it. That's the secret to quitting. Just don't smoke. And here I am, almost a year later, still smoke free! I'm so glad I didn't listen to my friends who told me not to quit on New Year's Day. I'm so glad I declared that 2019 would be a smoke free year for me. I have never regretted that decision. Not once. I would love to support any quitters who have decided to make 2020 a smoke free year. I am here! I'll be a shoulder to cry on. A listening ear to vent to. Whatever you need. I'll be 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.
