Freedom Train Tuesday 11/1/2016

[JACKIE1-25-15]

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   JoJo  6 Years  https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/people/jojo29

  

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

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!!!!!!    -JACKIE

 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.

[brittann3]

Good morning!! I appreciate the ride and all the support and encouragement so freely given! I made it to 2 weeks yesterday and now working on Day 15!! Had my first experience yesterday of smelling smoke from a cigarette since I put my last one out... and man oh man it was rough! I felt such pity for the couple of "prisoners" in front of me and such gratitude for the freedom I feel!

Have a great smoke free day everyone!

Good afternoon and congrats on everyones quit, thank you everyone especially to all my buddies out here that supported me 6 yrs ago and still support me today . My biggest advice is keep the quit going,never give up , if the urge hits home ,get motavated get busy and remember urges go away but lung disease is here to stay . I had a few months to live,copd 12% lung capasitity & the gift of life saved me I got a new lung in June 2012 . I made a deal with God if he helped me live id never smoke again and id pay it forward , I do just that, I m a lung transplant survivor , Iam in Smobriorty 6 yrs today, I have a grandson i got to see love and take care of and hes my whole world . There is a purpose in my life and he was it . we all have a purpose if you havent found yours be patient itll come . I had 4 kids my youngest 14 at the time, copd does not discriminate especially AGE ..i was 35 yrs old. when i heard the word copd emphysema , but my world crumbled at 47 when i was on 02 barley moving so out of breath. & by 51 it controlled my whole life. trust me , never say itll never happen to me bc i only smoke a few killeretts or i only smoked a yr  it will get you, as i still tell my kids what we do when we are younger will kick out ass when we are older.. how true that is.. I run a quit smoking page on face book ,I do event for organ donation and always talk to kids especially kids about the danger of smoking ,quitting became a big part of my life and it all happened right here on become an ex, you guys helped me help myself. so i encourage you guys do whatever it takes before it takes you.. be strong change your habits way of thinking walk excersie get a buddy system call a friend , fight it and you will win 🙂  As out friend Dale once said to me , Life is LUNGDERFUL   LMAO .. Love you all ,breathe easy & live life to the fullest ❤️
