    Thanks Jillar, I  read the post you suggested and Babs is right.  I don't know how someone so young could have the insight into this when I have smoked longer than she has been alive. I will keep reading it over and over.  It feels like my brain is broken because I know all these things but I can't make it stop. In fact I still am finding things more difficult than the day I quit.  Here nor there I do not have a choice but to grin and growl and bear, so I will.

    I lost my quit!

    Never quit the quit and keep coming back!!  Educate yourself!  Once you fully understand the addiction, you will have absolutely NO PROBLEM committing to your quit because you will KNOW beyond doubt that smoking does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for you.  NOTHING!

     

    Smother yourself in videos and reading material!!  CONSTANTLY!  It's what helped me!  I even got an app to go to sleep to for quitting smoking.  I Saturated myself in it KNOWING that one day it will "sink in" as long as kept doing it.  Daily actions!  that is what counts!

     

    Hope you get back on the quit train and NOPE!

    hello all!

     

    since I quit over eight years ago, a lot has happened in my life. I’ve gotten divorced, I’ve endured my son‘s not talking to me for a few years which now we have re-connected, I bought a new house,  I dealt with some health issues which are now resolved hopefully for good. I’ve had some issues dealing with relationships and ups and downs in life, financial struggles....and then Covid hit and since then my life has really been turned upside down and tested my strength as many of us have.  But in  all of this ....not one puff ever!!  no matter what

     

    that is all. miss you guys !!  stay vigilant!!

    you guys are the best!!

    thank you for making me smile.  

    It’s been a rough week for me so there’s a reason i came today.  i often forget about how long it’s been...i just remember it was when my daughter was expecting my granddaughter so that helps...I realized it’s been eight years since I smoked because somebody asked me this past weekend and I remembered it was my anniversary just a few weeks ago !. Life is generally been good for me.  but It does have its ups and downs...such is life ...however I am smoke-free through all of them!!   And the reason why is because of never taking another puff. It’s as simple as that. problems come and go but smokin’ ain’t one of them for me!!!   This forum rocks !!!!

     

    Thanks guys !!!!

    babs609 Is 7 Years Quit!

    in Celebrations!

    I still can't believe it's been 7 years!  Someone just brought it up to me today at work asking me how long it has been.   With this crazy heat and humidity in the air these days I sometimes find it hard to breathe. (even people who never smoked are feeling it. Yes....I needed to check...that's what ex smokers do. Worried  our pasta will come back to haunt us)

    Anyway....after all that babbling (which bacon says is my specialty) I am just so grateful I am no longer a slave to that horrible addiction. 

     

    Thank you all so much for the shout out and thank you recip for keeping us straight on our milestones.  I love you guys. 

     

    keep on keeping NOPE!!!

    ps. ••past, not pasta. darn auto correct. but i left it there because it was funny and heck...sometimes my pasta does catch up with me. lol

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.
