  12. Tell us one thing you couldn't do as a smoker that you're now able to do. Me: Hiking/Backpacking. Will be heading off on a 9 day backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in a few weeks. Here's a pic along the trail. Humphrey's Basin

  16. Congrats on day 7 Steven. One whole week! Your struggles aren't over yet but the worst of it is in that you will get more and more "comfortable" days going forward and the benefits of quitting will start becoming more and more evident! It's all good from here on providing you stay committed to nope!

  19. just about on your LUCKY 13 days of Freedom, Linda. Every moment counts. Every crave diverted, every trigger faced will lead you to a new era of self confidence and profound trust in yourself. Please reward yourself and assist your brain to deliver endorphins, that delivery system was gangstered by nicotine. S

  20. Understanding the addiction is an important component to building a successful quit, Steven. It explains much of what we experience. Here are some resources The Power Of Nicotine Addiction from Joel Spitzer Nicotine and The Brain a lecture found by MLMR

  22. You're doing great Steven! Tomorrow will be a week and if you can do a week, you can do 2 weeks!!

  23. Yes! This is absolutely true Stephen but now you can also see many people just like you have broken free from their addiction and this is also possible for you and anyone else who believes in themselves and wants to be a nonsmoker! Soon you will start focusing on the positives you are already seeing (have you checked your wallet lately?)

  25. I usually start getting the strong cravings around days 6-7, so I am staying close to this group. Like I said yesterday, the craving usually lasts 5-10 minutes tops. One day at a time and sometimes one minute at a time. It will get up to 100 degrees here for the next few days, so I will be indoors a lot. I will probably clean my room and do some coloring and maybe practice some guitar. I want to keep my quit. I am truly grateful for everyone here for the support. I am understanding more and more each day what a powerful addiction nicotine is.

  26. Hey Jack ! Congratulations on your THREE YEARS of Freedom ! I remember feeling so great at three years, all my patterns and associations with smoking were seriously in the past and I had a solid understanding that my future would never ever never include nicotine again. Have some fun, some celebration and of course, rewards. The crowd cheers for you, I can hear them from here.

  27. I'm actually watching one of my all time favorite movies. It's the remake and not a bad one at that. The original version of "Midway" is the better of the two though.

  31. You are doing great, Steven. You also made some great points. Cravings only last a few minutes. Fight through them and your quit gets stronger. One day at a time and one minute at a time is how it gets done. Just keep pushing through this and it will get much better. I'm glad you want to keep your quit. That is what will make you successful in quitting for good.

  32. That's so true, Linda. Just take it one day at a time and don't worry about tomorrow until tomorrow comes. You are doing great. Congratulations on 12 days smoke free.

  33. Congrats Linda! Almost 2 full weeks now! It's a real slog for the first while but you're knocking off those days one at a time which is what we all did! Things will start to turn around soon. It does gradually get better and better all the time so hang in there and keep putting one foot in front of the other. You'll make it by doing that (and noping) every day!

  34. Well, if you don't know how you're going to get through it, chanced are, you won't. You wouldn't go on a road trip to a far away destination without a map would you? If you did, you'de never get there. Same rule applies with quitting smoking. You need a plan. You can't just wing it or you'll be setting yourself up for failure. Live and breathe on this board. Read, read and then read some more. Post a LOT. Post every day. Post 20 times a day. Whatever you have to do to learn how to quit successfully. You can do this. Believe me, if I can quit, you can too!

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.
