  1. Hello Taylor,

     

    It's wonderful to see people wanting to quit.  I saw your pledge post earlier, haven't had a chance to say "Welcome to the Quit Train"

     

    The best way to quit is to Educate yourself first.  Smoking is Nicotine Addiction, learn about the Addiction to understand the withdrawals (cravings) and understand how it's destroying your body, then pick your method.  Any method such as Cold Turkey, Nicotine supplement (patches, etc.) will work when you understand the addiction.

     

    Gradually decline is NOT a quitting method, on the contrary, it's making it much harder to quit.  Extending the time between each smoke will make the addiction more intense, hence giving you the perception that you "enjoy" smoking more, where you're just feeding the addiction.

     

    Please go through the materials in the sticky posts to educate yourself so you can quit successfully.

  2. Hello Chris,

     

    There's a lot of great advices already posted above so I don't need to add anything else, just want to reiterate a very essential point in quit smoking: "Education"!

    Educate yourself to understand that you don't really "love" to smoke, you're just addicted to Nicotine.  Once you have a full understanding, you will no longer "love" to smoke, and will be able to quit much easier.

     

    How are you doing?  Post, update, ask questions, we're all here to help.

     

    Welcome to Quit Train.

  3. Hello Pedro, 

     

    Your presence here indicates that you have a desire to quit.  Take this desire 1 step further: Educate yourself about the Nicotine addiction.  It is essential to understand the addiction to enable you to kick this nasty addiction for good.  Stay on the forum and keep posting.

    Welcome aboard the Quittrain, destination FREEDOM!

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.
