Freedom Train 1/29/2017

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:

 Mrs.Brock‌- 1 Year

Mortalzeus‌- 100 Days

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

  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!!!!!!    -Shawn

  

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.

Congratulations Mrs.Brock‌ and welcome to the 6% club! Congratulations Mortalzeus‌ and welcome to double digits! What an exciting train today, Shawn. These are major milestones. I think I see a big crowd waiting to ride today . .

 

My little corner of the gulf coast feels like the Swiss Alps this morning. I'm going to cozy up here in the dining car with some good hot Swiss comfort food: Älplermagronen, röschti, and Swedish cardamom rolls. Help yourself!

Thanks for picking me up, Shawn.  Congratulations to Mrs. Brock and to Mortalzeus on their anniversaries.  I am off to work so you will have to drop me off there.  I can't wait until this vacation hangover lifts, I am just so slow and tired.  Guess I should have thought more about when to return to work...might have needed a couple more days but, then again, I would have to learn THAT program all over again.

I am boarding today with 1106 DOF.

I am quickly jumping on the train.  Here in Key West it is cold today. 58 degrees and no sun with lots of cold North winds.

Hope the heat is on the train.

Well, I found the Freedom Train for today.  I am here, with my puppy beast, and of course, we want that window seat.

Congratulations to all who are celebrating milestones in their quits today. 

When I find my clock on this new website, I will post my number of days quit.  Until then, I want to say it will be seven years on June 10th that I have remained smokefree from cigarettes.  My quit date, which I will never forget, was June 10, 2010.

Now, I need to find a seat that is big enough for my Abby.  I better keep her away from the tables of food around here.  She weighs in at 120 pounds, so you know her appetite is going to be huge.  This is her food stare, just in case she starts roaming around the different cars of this train and ends up in front of you while you are eating.

Thank you for the welcome back, Shawn.  Yes, it is me.  I'm thinking that I have been gone from here a long time, probably too long.  (((hug)))   I have a lot to absorb with this new website.  Wow!  It will give me something to do at 3:30 in the morning when I cannot go back to sleep.

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
