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.

To further this celebration, let's move to the lounge car for a little entertainment

And then stop at our dining car to celebrate the featured milestones and also celebrate all of our own quits.  Every day won is a joyous event.  Just remember, take one day at a time.  Yesterday is done and tomorrow will be here soon enough.

HUGE congratulations to those celebrating milestones today...WOW!

Wow! I am so grateful for everyone on this site! Thank you all for being here and especially for running the Freedom Train today. I had forgotten it is my six year anniversary until email notifications started popping in my email.  I remember those early days of clinging to this site and following the people ahead of me... People with 2 or 3 days of freedom.... Seeing people with 100 plus days seemed almost impossible.... What the people here always gave me was hope...  Hope that I could know freedom from nicotine... And hope that I could thrive without nicotine.  The companionship, wisdom, and safety that I found here has led me to today and six years of freedom.  Many many thanks. Lisa

Never be afraid or embarrassed about your "smoking thoughts" while quitting, they're there to remind us how strong we truly can be. Always remember, you will always WANT to smoke, but you have to CHOOSE not to. We can't break the ties that bind us without first changing the cycle that created it.
