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

DebiD‌ has 3 years! 

---

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.

Welcome Aboard the Freedom Train this first day of September, and a big CONGRATULATIONS to the EX we honor today, DebiD!

Happy National Happy Cat Month, and we have a lot of reasons to be happy today - all those sickorettes we don't smoke anymore! 

In the words of our honoree, 

DebiD/blogs/DebiD-blog/2016/09/01/3-years   September 1, 2016

... just take it one day at a time, and educate yourself. It helps to know that smoking is more than a habit (like I used to think it was). It was when I learned it was an actual ADDICTION that I realized what the hold was. It was addiction holding onto me, not the habit. The "habit" was really no problem.

Speaking for cats everywhere, "we are here to party!"

[c2q]

The dining car is open. Let's grab a seat by the window.

Hop on board and give a shout-out to DebiD‌! This is Pati, and I'm riding today with 2315 DOF.

"It's not the number of days in your quit, it's the quititude in your days!"

Thank you all for the comments! Happy to say that it was 4 years that I just celebrated! Had I known that being a non-smoker was so great, I would have quit sooner than I did!
