  7. You can do this Linda. The craving will not last for long. Have you tried changing up your morning routines? By changing up your routines you will train your brain to the new non smoking normal. This will help with the cravings.

  8. Four years ago I decided I'd had enough. I decided that I wasn't going to go out the same way my Old Man did at the age of 56 with lung cancer. That was it. It was my decision and my commitment. Once I'd made that decision, it was a done deal. I knew I would never smoke again, and I haven't. It wasn't easy at first, but it's easy now. I rarely even think about smoking anymore and when I do, it's such a far away memory it doesn't even seem real. It also terrifies me to think about what I would feel like if I'd kept smoking. The toll those 30,000+ cigarettes I would have smoked would have had on my body. To be honest, I sometimes wonder if I'd still be alive if I hadn't quit. I loved cigarettes as much as anyone else and if I was able to quit, you can too. If you're struggling, toughen up and stick with it. I promise it will be worth it! NOPE!

  9. NOPE!!! I didn't want to use this meme bc of course this guy is known for lying all the damn time, but I'm not him and I stand on my NOPE!! Also, later on in the evening EST I’ll be 11 months quit. Also, I like to add that I don't smoke or inhale anything wacky. Only my prescribed inhaler. Catch you guys later. Stay healthy!!

  11. The cravings come...then they go. Don't make a permanent decision based on a temporary feeling.

  15. Me and a couple of the guys at work turned a garage space that we weren't using into a gym. Nothing fancy, just the essentials: power rack, deadlift platform, flat bench, pull-up bar, barbells and plates. Now, when I take a little pause for the cause at work, I can get in a few sets. More of the guys are using the equipment everyday and a bit of healthy competition is getting the boys motivated. Stumpy, who works in the warehouse, is one to keep an eye on. He's short and built like a tree stump, thus the name. Stumpy is a stout young man and can move some serious weight.

  23. Ok....THIS IS IT! Moving truck came Saturday and all my stuff is gone on its way to NC. Got my payoff statement from my bank for the mtg, checks have already been cut for all parties involved in the transaction by the atty, garbage has been placed at the curb, final walkthrough w buyers is at 10 am tomorrow, Feb 9th!! My 4th year quit anniversary is on Wednesday, Feb 10th. When I think back to how far I have come and how my life has changed (for the better!!!) since then.....it is mind-boggling....I am one lucky lady! Anyhoo, I will be running all day tomorrow and then driving half-way down to NC after the closing w my BF and little Panda! Packing my pc into a box right after I sign-off here so I will be missing in action for a few days (my laptop and tablets went on the moving truck).....so Carry on and KTQ! Be back soon!

  25. Repetition is the key. What feels new and weird today will start to feel very normal with time and repetition. Consistently making new and better choices rewires the brain. Here's a video I enjoyed during the early days of my quit...

  26. My husband loves to tell anyone who will listen that I'm a quitter. I "quit" my twenty year professional cleaning service ( actually the high costs of Workers comp in the state at the time forced me to close). I quit my ice cream truck business (because it sucked watching everyone having a good time while I was out putting two steps forward and ending up one step back). I quit throwing shingles to him up on the roof ( that one was his own fault for being a jerk on the roof). And then I quit smoking... I've quit quitting many a time and never really called them relapses because quite honestly I never quit to begin with. I simply abstained for a while. I really had to work myself up to just doing it. I gave myself little pep talks for months leading up to my forever quit. Saying things like "all good(?) things must come to an end". Then I would remind myself of all the things I had outgrown and convinced myself that smoking would soon be one of them. So on Sunday May 29, 2016 around 5:00 pm I smoked the last cigarette in my pack and that was that. Or so I thought..... Over the next five or so hours I proceeded to smoke every butt in my ashtrays. You see, I didn't tell anyone I quit just in case I failed so I hadn't cleaned and put away the ashtrays. So on Sunday May 29, 2016 at 10:15 pm I quit. It wasn't always easy and some days were downright brutal for me but most of that was my own darn fault. I didn't embrace the beauty in being a quitter. I was too busy feeling sorry for myself for not " getting" to smoke like everyone else could. Looking back now i truly believe your mindset is what is going to dictate how hard or how easy your quit will be. Choose easy....

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.
