So I have 2....

 

1. Yesterdee searchers found a 14 yo highly autistic boy who had been lost in the bush. The poor bugger had been alone for 2 nights in sub zero temps (celcius) (it's winter here) with not super warm clothes. Not only is it bonza he was found and but is, the other feel good aspect of t his story is how the local community responded. Young cobsie is obsessed with Thomas the tank and Bunnings barbies....So locals were leavingput blankets and jackets, wear cooking barbies overnight to try and draw out with the smell and playing Thomas the tank on loop all day and night. 

 

2. And a timely reminder, not all jacks (cops) are bad....So in one of the suburbs a cop attended a suicide, it was the second suicide he had attended in that area in a small tome frame and there were similarities between the two. So he went back and checked other suicides in the area and found 7 more....there is a racial demographic to this...he took it to his bosses and also to social services and now things are being done to help the women within this community...sure its sad, but the light is 1 off i her noticed something odd and though it wasn't part of his job he took the time to look i not it and effect change.

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.
