We've built a bit of history here on the Quit Train, memorable moments, quirky characters, etc..  As with any institution that stands the test of time, it is important to not only look to the future but also honor our past.  Commemorate the people and artifacts that shaped who we are.

 

In reading through a current introduction post, it was clear to me what the first item enshrined at the Quit Train Hall of Fame should be.  This item is wielded by the matriarch of the Train and has scared many a quitter straight.  It is legendary and its lore lives on...

 

It is my honor to induct into the first class of the Quit Train Hall of Fame Doreen's Frying Pan....

If we're going to pay tribute to Bakon and his shoe obsession, we should include a pair of Bigfoot's running shoes.

 

And just to spite him, an old pair of flip-flops...

 

I have to put Sonic on this list ...that guy had me peeing my pants more times than I care to admit  !!!!!

Have to add @c9jane29 glitter.  I was covered in glitter in my early quit.  Miss her very much.

Your friendship has been a gift and a blessing to me...love you right back!!

 

                     I nominate MLMR  for writing and posting a complete and honest documentation of her successful quit.

I'll nominate Sazerac for all the videos she likes to post and bump

 

I will nominate Jillar's Air Cigarette !!!!  I used it and I know others and it worked great!!

 

 

I used a blue straw and cut it down to cigarette size, still have it

I nominate Jimmy and his bus.  He always got us windowlickers to our destination in a safe and timely manner.

 

I would also like to nominate the Chicks and Sticks game thread for the Hall of Fame.  That game kept me occupied during any downtime in the early days of my quit.  To a point that it felt like I traded in one addiction for another.

I nominate, @Cristóbal's,

'The Proper Sequence'

'YOU --> QUIT --> LIFE.

 

"When our quits are young, we must learn and then practice in a conscious manner,

to disconnect and keep separate our quits from all life events.
 
We learn to always keep our quits sacred, protected,

and never influenced by any life event that may happen.
 
This dynamic we may call The Proper Sequence,

and it is powered by your commitment to Never.Take.Another.Puff. (NTAP).

It does not matter what may happen on any day in your life......

as long as you maintain in a conscious manner The Proper Sequence dynamic

as a primary element of your quit, you will not smoke.

The Proper Sequence is:


YOU --> QUIT --> LIFE.

•NOT•:

YOU --> LIFE --> QUIT.


By maintaining this simple sequence dynamic in your quit,

you will not ever have your quit influenced by life events."
 
Cristóbal

 

 

Not forgetting ,the driver of this amazing train....

Without his hard work ,we wouldn,t be here...

Thank you MQ....
