  1. Hi all.  Missing my quit train friends and wondering how everyone is doing.  I am still smoke free and don't have any urge to return.  On the road with my hubby travelling in the RV.  We just just enjoyed two months ago f sunshine in Florida.  I am going to try and be more present here.  I know others are looking for support.

    I will no longer smoke and punish myself everyday with this addiction!

    Good for you Happy Passenger.  You have the power and strength to quit.  Keep telling yourself you no longer smoke and power through the cravings.  The nicotine is gone after a couple of days and then you learn to redirect those thoughts.  Stay close to the forum, educate yourself, play some games and get to know us.  We would love to help you along your journey.

  3. I found it best to just bite the bullet and quit.  The sooner you get that nicotine out of your system, the easier it will become to quit.  I found strength among the friends I have made on this forum.  Hang around, educate yourself, play some games and get to know us.  You can do this.

  4. @Matthew0225 unless you get back on the train and SOS when those strong urges appear, you will continue repeating this cycle over and over.  That smoke may taste good and give a short lived feeling of satisfaction but all it does is keep you hooked.  You can do this!

    @Mee, when my husband and I married he had his own business.

    After doing tile, I admire anyone that does it.  I am one that likes to get in there and make it look new fast.  We were torn up for over a week.  I am thankful my husband will try anything (he is too cheap to pay anyone).

  6. Cleaning up from our big kitchen project of tiling.  I said I would post a finished picture.  Boy was this a job.  We had painted the kitchen cabinets and got new countertops.  It was hard enough picking a tile because the counter tops seemed so busy in color.  We have been here 32 years and definitely needed a redo.

  7. Hang tough Kdad.  You can get through this.  We travelled our journeys together during your first quit.  I know you have the fortitude to do this.  I'm thinking your lapses are more about being down in life.  You seem to have had a lot that has happened, including the pandemic.  Cigarettes do nothing for you.  You are worthy of a smoke free life.  We are here for you!

    Relapsed again but quit 6 days ago. Today was the hardest yet. I maintained the NOPE!!! Wish me luck. 

    You can do this Kdad.  Nothing has changed from your first quit except that you keep giving into your junky brain.  Breath deep and keep moving forward.  Post an SOS if you are going to smoke.  Give us a chance to talk you off the ledge!

    My experience quitting has not been linear, it goes in odd zigzags. Sometimes I feel good, strong, and in touch with the positive aspects of quitting. Other days, I feel shattered. Today, for instance, all the emotions I used to dull with nicotine are quite raw. I know this is not permanent. For the first couple weeks of my quit, the impulse/longing to smoke was constantly buzzing through my body and brain. Now on day 54 it’s not a hive of bees any longer, more like a dull thud. So that’s a good trend. I’m very determined to keep this quit. But along the way, I have definitely had some days I’d like to fast forward through, either that or…

    So well said DenaliBlues!  Sometimes reading each other's journeys is all that it takes to make it one more day!

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.
