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 have some EXcellent numbers today

johio‌ and kjvenegas4 Yrs.!!!

Maggie_quit_8-1-2010 Blog‌ 7 Yrs !!!!

Wow!  Amazing. 


We encourage you to come aboard today! Shout out your personal milestones, those of your friends, and show pride in your quit: 1 day, 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!!!!!!

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, pir8fan 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.

Thanks for picking me up today JACKIE1-25-15‌, hope you enjoyed your fishing this weekend.  We have some seriously impressive milestones to celebrate today, CONGRATULATIONS on SEVEN years to Maggie_quit_8-1-2010 , I tried to send a direct message but see that her profile has been archived.  Congratulations to johio‌, my good friend from the beginning and to kjvenegas  BOTH with FOUR YEARS each...I am coming up behind you.

I worked hard yesterday and could not get up today, my hands are killing me so typing is seriously painful.  I am boarding the train today with 1290 DOF.

Hi Ellen! I'm still learning my way around this site. The contents are very 'new to me' so I'm trying to get up to speed.  Please forgive me if I miss something and feel free to send me a direct email. Do you already have that? Wishing you a wonderful day! I haven't gone to bed yet so I best get there before morning dawns out here on the West coast!
