  1. Stay with us Latoya :) You will find you are no different than us. We all had to find our way and we all completely understand what you are going through. No one knows about quitting better than a quitter :8_laughing:

  2. Distract yourself in what ever way works for you Latoya. For the first few days, I binge watched movies and stayed on here a lot, reading, reading and watching videos about this addiction. It really helped me understand just what smoking is. There's also a games page here that you can navigate around and spend mindless hours just distracting yourself. Learn to embrace the quit process because your body and mind are once again learning how to function like they did before you started smoking. It takes a while but everything does for sure get better as long as you just resist the urge to smoke again - NOPE is the key! Not One Puff Ever :)

  3. There's no right or wrong way to quit Latoya. Many use NRT items such as the patch, gum or spray. Others use Chantix or similar aids to help them quit. Using an aid will mean you need to discontinue it at some point but the thinking is that by time you will be able to handle it better. Myself, I used patches for the first couple of days then just said the heck with them! It may have been more difficult but after a few days, I had the nicotine out of my body. Then, there was just the mental part of quitting - you know, learning to deal with not smoking while living my life again as a non-smoker. It has worked out for me though. Commitment to quitting is very important!

  4. Hi Latoya! Welcome to our family of quitters :)

    Please be sure to read all the "pinned" posts on the "Quit Smoking Discussion" page on the main page of this board. They are all at the top of that page with a green pin at the left of each thread. There are lots of videos as well to help you understand this addiction. Educating yourself as to how this addiction works will allow you to finally beat it. Education and a dedicated desire to live your live smoke free. Take back your freedom starting Today!! Welcome again :)

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.
