Five years ago today, I decided to take the leap.  I stopped making excuses.  I stopped "planning."  Figured if I was going to quit smoking it was time to stop tap dancing around the subject and get to it.  I didn't have full confidence that I would be successful.  I had failed the challenge so many times before there was bound to be some doubt creep in.  There was no momentous shift in my mindset.  I didn't have some sort of epiphany at the beginning of my forever quit.  Any clarity about the process of quitting smoking came later and was earned by having quit.  Took things one day at-a-time in the beginning.  Those days turned to weeks.  Weeks turned into months...and so on.  Now I have five years under my belt and have full confidence that I will never touch a cigarette again.

 

I really didn't know what to expect when I started this process.  And if someone had told me how the simple act of quitting smoking would effect my life, I probably wouldn't have believed them.  Success breeds confidence and that confidence carried over into every facet of my life.  As I was successfully doing the thing that I had told myself I couldn't do, I started to ask what else was possible.  As I learned to deal with life without cigarettes, I had to do some serious self-examination to figure out how to actually confront issues rather than just stepping outside and smoking one-after-the-other.  The process stripped me down to the bone and forced me to deal with issues for the first time in my adult life; I'm far more resilient now than I was five years ago.  The initial goal was to get off of the smokes.  The final result was a better version of myself and a much improved life.

 

I joined the Quit Train the same day I quit smoking; one of the best decisions I ever made.  I received support from the other folks on the Train from day-one.  Gained invaluable knowledge.  On top of all that...had a good time and made some great friends along the way.  It has been an honor to ride this Train for the last five years.

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.
