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:

Luvbug with 400 DOF ! https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/people/luvbug4

nikki with 500 DOF! https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/people/nikki77

 

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

We en iends, 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!!!!!! ~Terrie~

 

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.

Good Morning/Afternoon Everyone! It is your very late Train Conductor. You will not believe this, well you might, you know me pretty well! I've been on here for a couple of hours waiting for the train to post! hahaha! Brandy is here and he is never here when I post the train. Finally, he asked me " well, who's turn is it to post the train?" OMG! I will be right back with food!

Congratulations to Luvbug with 400 DOF and to

Nikki with 500 DOF!

Don't Quit on your Quit!

Hi Terrie,

I am jumping on board with 9 DOF. Congratulations to Luvbug and Nikki.  It has by no means been an easy 9 days.  Just taking 1 crave at a time (wasn't even counting days until I saw the Freedom Train when I just logged on). I can't look that far ahead because NOPE scares me.  This moment that I live in doesn't scare me so I can deal with 1 crave at a time. Happy to be on board and happy for everyone who has found the Freedom.

Thanks Terrie - I don't want to miss the train today.  For some reason I am in a "mood" and that isn't like me to be moody.

Sick of the hot weather I think.  I will enjoy the train ride with positive people -

Thanks Terrie for picking me up with 202 DOFs.  Congratulations to Luvbug with 400 DOF and Nikki with 500 DOF, awesome numbers!

It's raining today, only had 1 peach for breakfasts, so I am going for some of the comfort food you are so generously sharing with us!

Let's have a great ride, and maybe we get to take a nap too...

About the Author
Hello, I am a 59 year old female, name Terrie, still growing up. I have moderate COPD. I am an oxygen patient, currently not in need of the 24/7 or night time oxygen. Thanks to all the great support and education I got here on EX. My original quit date was 07/06/15 on day 519 I relapsed and started over in less than 24 hours. I want to go to the great beyond being a former smoker and I shall! COPD is not choosy! and not pretty! May 1rst, 2017 I am using Dale's suggestion to put off a cigarette each time and I am down from 50 to 20. I am looking forward to my old(7-6-2015)/new quit date 7-6-2017 May 4th, 2017 I started with Marlboro reds. Nicotine is a very assinine addiction. Once addicted I found I would smoke any of it including the little cigar/cigarettes, and it's still true since I threw away my quit and stopped being true to myself. I will smoke ANYTHING with nicotine in it to get the fix. I hate smoking! I am not having a problem stopping it's staying stopped, that I am not doing! I do not buy anything but regular tobacco but if caught without it I will do anything except vape to get the fix. UPDATE POSTED 04/24/2018: Getting ready to set a quit date and begin again :)
