Welcome aboard Nicky. Congratulations on the quit and the future nuptials. Stop by anytime, this Train is always rolling.

Good job Bat. Cause for celebration...

I don't know that I will ever forget that I was a smoker. I may get hit on the head by a coconut and develop amnesia, but life rarely plays out like an episode of Gilligan's Island. That being said, after just a matter of a few weeks the whole process really started to make sense. The simplicity of quitting became embedded in my mind and I figured out that the cravings are just the passing thoughts of an addicted mind and have no power on their own. Since then, it has been smooth sailing. In those first few days of a quit, the puzzle pieces look like a jumbled mess. In short time the pieces start to fit together nicely. And eventually, the pieces seemingly fall together on their own. Just keep moving forward and you will get to exactly where you want to be.

Yep. I heard some college age kids the other day complaining about slow wi-fi at a restaurant. I tell ya...these kids today have no idea what a truly slow internet connection is.

That's how it starts. You just keep going and get through those initial days of the quit. Your body is healing and your mind is adjusting and adapting. That mental fog will clear with a bit more time. Quitting truly is one of the best things you can ever do for yourself. Buckle up, knuckle down, and drive on.

Did you hear about the two-story whorehouse that went out of business? There was too much f***ing overhead.

Good work Jackie. It is very important to remember why you quit. When the "whys" of the quit are clearly embedded, the "hows" have a way of working themselves out. You've got yourself a successful quit going, congratulations.

Welcome aboard nochoice. You won't be judged harshly here, this Train is full of nicotine addicts. As for those "crazy thoughts"...crazy thinking is par for the course during those early days of a quit. It's the duality of quitting. I remember reading about all the negative effects smoking has on our bodies. The long list of carcinogenic chemicals contained in each cigarette. The ways in which the addiction enslaves the smoker. And then thinking to myself: cigarettes are awful, but I could sure go for one right about now! Addiction and reason are in a constant struggle for your mind and body. The good news is: a successful quit is a simple matter of making the choice to refrain from sticking a cigarette in your mouth and lighting it on fire. Regardless of what thoughts or impulses you may have in the current moment, if you don't smoke you are doing everything needed to become a successful quitter. It is a simple process that yields great rewards. The journey is well worth any bumps in the path along the way. Enjoy the ride.

Nope. Past failed attempts do not mean you can't, they simply mean you didn't. Not yet anyway. There are lessons to take from each failure. Take those lessons, use them to your advantage, and then proceed to throw everything else from the past failures onto the scrap heap of history. Your past does not dictate your future unless you allow it to. Divorce yourself from any past failures and focus that attention on future success. You seem to have a lot of doubt about your ability to quit smoking. Here's what I took from reading your post: You have the desire to quit (you wouldn't be here if you didn't). You're open to learning (reading the forum, Allen Carr, etc.). You have the ability to set a goal and commit to succeed (weight loss, football training, studying...). Desire, education, and commitment...that's all you need. You already possess every tool needed to not only quit smoking, but to have a superb quit. You know the way to success it's just a matter of starting down that path now. The future is yours Juan.
