Freedom Train 9/7/17

[shashort]

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

giraffelady has 500 days! 

kristen_9.7.15 has 2 years

ShawnP has 2000 days

---

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) or ShawnP at any time.

As I posted on Facebook today about it being our 32nd wedding anniversary, it also occurred to me that is also my 12 year, yes YEAR, quit anniversary. Twelve years and  NOT ONE PUFF - the secret to ending my five year battle as a serial quitter. 

I dont know know where you are at on your journey to freedom, but you need to know that if I can do it, so can you!!!!  There was no magic moment, I didn't feel "ready" in the least, and life did not roll over and play nice to accommodate my quit. I knew that it was never going to be any easier to quit than it was right then. 

You were here meant for more than addiction and slavery. Don't settle for anything less than total freedom!!  Don't listen to the lies, stop making excuses!!!  BE FREE!!!

"It is for FREEDOM that Jesus set you free..." Galatians 5:1

[Giulia]

A giraffe with 500 days smoke free!!!!  Weeeeeeeee!

Ah Kristen - so happy for your two years.  Hope you're doing something fun today!

Shawn - Not once, but twice does she get a comma.  Here's to your forever quit.  For it obviously IS!

Cheer and loud clapping for all who ride!

[ShawnP]

Nice to see you, Connie. Congrats on 12 years and also Happy Anniversary.

I don't know about you, but I looked forward to that milestone as a major accomplishment. Congratulations on your splendiferous, Awesome, Incredible, Amazing accomplishment! Glad to count you as a quit buddy! giraffelady , 500 days is also a major accomplishment. Hope you celebrated in style! And mothergoose9 , I have seen you come around every so often. Great to have someone with 12 amazing years of freedom stop by to encourage others to follow the path to freedom. Congratulations, and Happy Anniversary! Quite a day for you.
