January 17, 20188 yr Hi I'm Katie, I just signed up today, and literally quit less than a day ago. I was reading some of the posts on the message board and it really helped me get out of my own head when I was feeling weak, so thanks for that.
January 17, 20188 yr Welcome aboard the Quit Train Katie. You've made a great decision for yourself to quit smoking. The process of quitting will benefit you in many ways and those temporary moments of feeling weak pass rather quickly. You come out of this process feeling stronger than ever. Continue consuming the information available here. Knowledge about your addiction will prove to be one of your greatest assets during your quit. Congratulations on taking your freedom back.

It is not easy but it is not all that hard, just commit and remember 1 hour 1 day at time and remember NOPE -- Not One Puff Ever (believe it or not that one statement has gotten me through a couple of tough times this last couple of weeks and this site as well).

January 22, 20188 yr Author It is a sport... there is endurance involved, but I exercise too no worries. Edited January 22, 20188 yr by Katie
January 22, 20188 yr Not all sports. I think smoking is required if you want to play pool. Obesity is required if one wants to bowl. Corporate butt-kissery is needed to play Golf. Endurance in these though - nah...
