Good morning, fellow EXer's!

  The Freedom Train is on the tracks, and prepared to make its daily run to freedom from smoking. Everyone is invited to come aboard to celebrate their own personal freedom, and that of their friends!

  *******************************************************

  Today's Celebrations:

We Celebrate You!!

*******************************************************

  We encourage you to come aboard today! Shout out your personal milestones, those of your friends, and show pride in your quit: 2 days, 200 days or 2000 days, or  more if you have them! Let us hear from you, and let us all celebrate our freedom. Post food and music - IT IS PARTY TIME! This train is bound for FREEDOM from the evils of tobacco and smoking.

  

"IF YOU ARE NOT RIDING WITH US, YOU ARE MISSING THE TRAIN"

  ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ABOARD!!!!!!    -Shawn

  

What is the Freedom Train? More  here

 

If you are new here, this vehicle provides a place for everyone to gather to celebrate the milestones and successes of those in our community. There are no tickets. The fuel for this locomotive is love and caring. The rides on this train are paid for in contributions to the quits of others! The only thing required to ride this train is a desire to breathe free. We encourage everyone to join in the celebration. No matter where you are in your quit, today is special, and is cause for celebration! Celebrate with others, and they will celebrate with you! There are no baggage fees; bring all your "EXtra baggage" and we will help you sort it out.

 

   How do I count my days? 

  Your quit info is here

 

From time to time we have questions about counting days. While we encourage everyone to celebrate every day of their freedom, here on the Freedom Train we count the days you have completed. For example, Tommy quit on 01/01/2010. On 12/31/2010 he had reached 365 days. However, he had not completed a year until 01/01/2011.

 

Where can I sign up?

  You can register for the Freedom Train here.

  

Have a question?

  Please feel free to address any questions or suggestions to Pir8fan (Tommy) at any time.

Awesome! I'd love to check out Martha's Vinyard sometime. I did 5 years in Key West and moved back to the Tampa area a year ago. Now I'm looking at moving back to the Keys this coming summer.

Thanks ShawnP‌ for the train today. Congratulations to Missy2122‌ with a beautiful 6 days quit. Congratulations to everyone starting out in their smoke-free, nicotine-free journey.

Wow, thanks everybody! I just got home from church, turned on the computer, and saw all of your wonderful comments on my 6 days of not smoking. It has NOT been easy; I have definitely felt the smoker's flu for sure! If it wasn't for you guys and all of the support, I would not be able to do this. With your help, it CAN and WILL be done! Thanks so much!

Thanks for conducting today Shawn!  I needed a comfy ride on a soothing train....I'm sure looking forward to us meeting up @ EX_5....just 74 more days until then.....joy, joy...

In the meantime, congratulations to all of us on our magnificent journeys to freedom.  I'm rocking 286 days today...Woo Hoo!!!

So ShawnP

I was just talking with Youngatheart.7.4.12 and told her how much I adored and owed you for being there for me...Heck, you kept hounding me and calling and texting me until I got my butt back in here and finally got serious and began my forever quit.  You may very possibly have saved my life girlfriend...how on earth am I ever going to be able to express my total gratification???

In the meantime, please accept these flowers from a very deep spot in my heart that continues to beat because of you....

I love you Shawn....

About the Author
I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
