It is a blog that we post daily. There are 7 of us total that post it through the course of the week.   We celebrate members milestones and also announce our own number of days if we choose. Now in the past, it wasn't unusual for the Freedom train to get over 100 comments. We get much less participation these days. We come to this site to get support to quit and to some stay to help others. We build friendships in the process. Now i know some people don't feel confident about giving advice to others but, you can support others by just typing on the Freedom Train daily a congratulations to others. It really does mean alot to that person/persons celebrating to know others care and are there for them. Hop onboard today and spread some cheer. Have a great day!!

About the Author
I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
