September 13, 201412 yr Author tyWelcome! You're past the worst part of quitting and we'll help you along with the rest. Hi Paul-It's early Saturday morning and first chance I had to reply to you. (Had to learn[thanks to member,"action"]) that you hit "quote" to reply to individual member. I'll learn how to get around. Well, I was so glad to join Quit Train...needed the boost before I went out for a long day. And it was smoke free ! You and the other members seem into it and very friendly and for real. I had a non-experience the first weeks I went on another site that was just dead-in-the-water. I wish them all the best but I need that energy that I promptly felt here. To me, you are like a guru and a longtimer. I appreciate that you took the time to look on the introduction forum and reach out to me. I had 24 replies...now you people are amazing! I plan to give it back soon, when I get my own house in order, if you will. Before I met you all, I have been using all the tools I've learned to stay smoke free for 5 weeks, but I was missing that much needed emotional support you and the others gave me. Thank you, I won't be so wordy, next time. (lol). They call me Jeffrey, but my actual name is Paul, too. Best Regards!
September 13, 201412 yr Well, it's great to meet you Jeffrey! You will get great support here, and we are always happy to help :) Congratulations on 5 weeks - you really are doing a great job, 5 weeks is AMAZING! How are you feeling right now? Do you have any questions?

September 13, 201412 yr Author Welcome, Jeffrey! Knowing that all one cigarette does is set up craving for the next one has helped me! Not One Puff Ever!! Nancy- Thanks for your welcome. It is greatly appreciated !!!
September 13, 201412 yr Hi Jeffrey! I didn't want to miss welcoming you like all the others have! You have come to a great place for support and fun! We love being quitters! I gave up a four year quit, so I know how it feels to have some time under your belt, then to lose it, but look at me now, one year and two months smoke free! I owe much of my smoking freedom to the wonderful people here on this site. You already have over a month. You are doing GREAT!!! Keep up the good work and give back when you're ready. :)
September 13, 201412 yr Welcome Jeffrey! Congrats on a great decision. I always joke that Allen Carr saved my life, but it is really pretty much true. His audible or his books can kinda make the scales fall from one's eyes on this addiction. We are here for you! Anything you need, let us know. :friends:
September 14, 201412 yr Author Hi Everyone- Wooooowww ! Thanks you I am so grateful and so overwhelmed by all of your kindness and support. I had quits before and been on other sites, but you are all remarkable! Please mark me down as part of the team. I realize that I ultimately am staying quit for myself first, but in addition, for today, I will not let down people such as you. I pray I can help out wherever I can, and I will. I have had a busy Friday and Saturday and that's the first two days I have been signed up, here. It's been a healthy, non-smoking busy. I say this because I did start to thank each one of you individually and I will finish this. You all deserve it. I know the adage about, giving it away to keep it, but you guys and gals are so unselfish and unconditional that I want you to know you all play a huge part already in keeping me a sane non-smoker! All My Best. Jeffrey Paul
September 14, 201412 yr Author No Jeffrey, congratulations on your quit! And welcome to the train :) You've come to the right place for support on your quit smoking journey! Lots of great folks here to offer you support :) And your quit date, it is 8th April, or 4th August? Just checking in to say hello. Thanks for your help with the not smoking and with your replies. Hope your day is spiffy and smoke free. Today, for me was quite decent, not too many urges and I am learning to change them around and realize that the urges are my signs of healing; so I haven't been fighting them and myself so much. :P
