  1. Congratulations on 56 days smoke free @Jane and good job getting off the patches as well. I did not notice issues in my early weeks of my quit with increased blood pressure so I am not sure how common that is, although I was definitely more stressed. I do know that smoking itself raises blood pressure so I don't think that quitting is making your blood pressure worse. There could be external factors but I am not a doctor. I hope the increased medication helps and I hope your doctor can give you good guidance on this matter. That being said, you are doing great in quitting. Keep up the great work.
  2. Congratulations on 2 months smoke free @Pilgrim Keep up the great work!
  3. NOPE!
  4. Lots of random weirdos seem to be trying to spam the QTrain with worthless ads lately. Fortunately, this spam loving dog appears to be a non-smoker.
  5. Congratulations on 9 years smoke free Wayne. That is huge. We're very sad to hear about Jill but I know she would be happy and proud to hear about your great quit going strong. Smoking is a horrible thing and it is a huge achievement to leave it behind.
  6. Congratulations @Pilgrim Keep up the great work!
  7. Next Thursday (May 29) would have been Jillar's nine year smoke free anniversary. In her honor and memory, along with the memories of so many other smokers who had their lives cut short, I am lighting this bonfire. Please throw your unused cigarettes into the bonfire in their memory. ** In the past, we would say how many unsmoked cigarettes we were throwing into the fire. Unfortunately, our tickers mostly don't show that now. Just state how many days, years, whatever, you have been smoke free. There is a free unsmoked cigarettes calculator below if you want to figure out an estimate of how many cigarettes you have not smoked since you quit. ** https://www.calculators.org/health/quit-smoking.php I am throwing my 62,223 unsmoked cigarettes in honor of Jill and others who have lost their lives to cigarettes.

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.
