It's a small thing, but important to me

When I quit smoking on Sept 7, I printed a Sept calendar sheet so I could put a red X on something each day I didn't smoke.  Today marks 23 days and is the last day of the month.  Felt great to have to print out a new sheet for October.  Not a month of not smoking yet, but just the action of having to change the calendar felt so good.
And taped at the bottom of my calendar is a small sheet that says:
"If you quit now...
You'll end up right back
where you first began.

And when you first began,

you were desperate to be

right where you are now.

Keep going."
Those red X's remind me of all I would be giving up if I take even one puff.

Actually this is large victory, you have set a goal and have completed that goal with something physical (in more ways than one) to show for it.  This is a strong victory and will do good for the mental aspect which is a huge part of your quit now.  Well done, well done Justin!!!!!!

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.
