    6 years

    Six years of freedom!! How the time flies... I remember being a smoker. Just me in disguise. A cloak of darkness, spreading lies. One day you will realize, In the end... You are the prize. Congratulations to all the quitters!!

  9. Thanks @reciprocity!! I had a great day! I still love my quit! Every day I'm happy I quit smoking; it's still hands down the best thing I've ever done for myself. I do love glitter and Britney Spears...I'll throw in a little Bob Ross and really get this party started
  10. Hip hooray, Layla! 4 months already!! You've made it thru the holidays and now will bring in the new year as a non-smoker! You are awesome!!
  11. Happy Christmas everyone!! We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season...my heart is so full! I send my love and prayers to each of you.
  12. Congrats Kate18!! That one year is coming up fast! KTQ!
  13. I missed it too!! How exciting Angeleek!!! We're ready to have you in the one year club! We are so proud of your hard work, it pays off! I hope you remembered your reward...maybe we dancing shoes because you're on your way to your lido deck party!
  14. Welcome Back, SamDy! We're always here to support, but it's up to you to do the work! The rules haven't changed, once you quit you become a non-smoker...let that become your mantra when the stinking thinking creeps in. "NOPE! I'm a non-smoker now!" Then find something else to do. I used chocolate in the beginning as a supplement to redirect my brain, it also mimicked the blood sugar/dopamine spike nicotine gives us...that happy feeling. It helps to know your enemy... google every thing about nicotine; find out how it's hijacked your brain. It has basically changed your brain to override the human nature of survival. Crazy. Read, read, read. An educated quit, a smart quit is a strong quit. You will always be a nicotine addict, but knowing that you never want to use again is powerful. I noticed some red flags in the way you present your quit: "It's like I want to quit but when I quit, I don't want to quit." "I love with 4 smokers, so it won't be easy by any means. " This is the addiction already creating outs for you to fail. You have to speak your quit into existence. I will quit! I want to quit! There is a while train here that knows you can do it. We were once all hopeless cases of the worst smokers that could never quit; we all loved smoking, etc. UNTIL we found freedom and found out it's all a pack of lies we sucked down from the butts of little liars 20 at a time. You'll find that freedom too if you take the time to get to know the real SamDy. She doesn't want to smoke, and she'll be a stronger more powerful woman when you quit.
  15. You just have to want your quit more. Your quit is what you put into it.. it's the best most selfish thing you ever get to do for yourself. You get to do it your own way! There is no wrong way, but the only way is to never put another cigarette in your mouth ever again. That's the only rule, the secret, the magic...NOPE. Take this time to mourn, grow up and out of you smoking life, emerge as a new non-smoking butterfly and just say goodbye. Get educated on nicotine addiction; understand the chemical changes that you are going thru to help you cope with the early withdrawal. Learn about HALT (Are you Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired?) You can quit, friend. You just need to get your head in the right place and understand that smoking does nothing for you.
  16. Hey! I made a pie for no reason...now it has a reason!! Happy birthday, my friend!! We love you!!
  17. Congratulations on 19 years, Christian! Thanks for all you still do here. We appreciate that you still come by to visit and give your wisdom. I hope even after 19 years you still remember to reward yourself; a 19 year quit might be its own reward, huh? I tip my hat to you, sir. Happy holidays!
  18. Congratulations Mac#23!! I hope you are enjoying your smoke free holidays! You are proof that an educated quit makes all the difference can't wait to celebrate you on the lido deck!!
  19. Congratulations on 6 months JohnQ!! I hope you are enjoying your first holiday season as a non-smoker KTQ!!
  20. Kdad, my friend, what do you think those nasty things are doing for you? You forgot the basics of quitting...you forgot your rewards, you let the romance build up, you forgot your NOPE. You have to hang on to the basics, you have to remember quitting is as easy as just not smoking. I'm sending you strength, I'm sending you hope because I really want you to quit again. I want you to find your power. Cigarettes do nothing for you. If you need a break from your day then walk away from what your doing, get a cold drink, eat a small chocolate. Remember H A L T (hungry, angry, lonely, tired). Take control. There's no demon other than your own mind...you are stronger than you think.
  21. WhooooHooooo!!! Congratulations Jo!! Let's get this party started
  22. Congrats on 3 months, Layla! Remember your reward...keep feeling good, keep loving your quit...grow with it, learn with it, learn from it and it's sure to last! KTQ!!
  23. Oh, the addict would have thought it the Holy Grail to find those!! It's a wonderful feeling to be free of even the thought of stopping!! I love stories of power and confidence! I'm glad you're out getting in your steps, breathing in that good air....good day to you, sir

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.
