Hi Judi.... My quit at the beginning wasn't easy ...I fought like hell to keep my quit ... I knew if I failed ...then my two feet and me would be parting company ..... I had tools I worked with ...My punching pillow ....I took all my anger out on this ... My I pod.... I danced around with music ...belting in my ears .... Slogans ...screaming NOPE.... Listening to those ahead of me ..promising it gets easier .... Reading Allen Carr the easy way ...twice .... It takes time to undo our brains ,after smoking for decades .... Once the light bulb went on ,and I saw smoking for the big fat lie it is ...I started to want to protect my quit Watch the Tabacco Documentaries here ..... This was a turning point for me ...

This is how I see it ... When I see someone post a negative post ...I try my best to reassure that person ... that quitting smoking is the most positive thing they can do ...for themselves and their loved ones .. It doesn't mean that person shouldn't be negative ....it just means I try and get them to feel better about themselves ... I have to give positive replies .. to spur you newbies on ... There is nothing negative about freeing yourself.... Hopefully when you have some time behind you ...it will come clear ... The old timers here ,who are still travelling with you newbies ,stay with one reason .... To help you quit this addiction ...

18 HI Mac !!!

Hey !!!!! Mr Piggy is back on board ...Well chuffed !!!!

Aww Linda.... Everyone on this Train has your best interest at heart ... BKP...too..... It would be a boring place if everyone said the same thing... Some come and slap you with a feather ...others come with with boxing gloves ... I have be known to come here with my frying pan ... What we all know ...The power of the addiction can make you see things distorted ...of course it wants you to stay hooked .....it doesn't want to listen to reason .. It wants to keep you drawn in ....this is what addiction does ,any addiction ... I'm sorry you haven't settled here and got to know the members ... Going back to smoking can only lead to misery and health problems... We will always be here ....

15..wow....so many sticks !!!

Jill is right Linda ....if you lose your wonderful quit ...you,ll only wish you were back where you are today .. FREE. Your body is going through some massive changes ...of course your all over the place ... We have all been where you are .... The only way it gets better...is sticking and working at it .... I'm sure you have said many a time ...I wish I was free .....you are ....All you need to do is stay free...

Ask yourself Linda ... Are you strong enough to go it alone ... Over the years ,we have seen those who stayed close to the board ...are the ones most likely to quit forever . Only you can make that decision.... We can only give you the tools to work with .... Give it some thought Linda ....smoking kills ...this is your life were talking about ...
