Freedom Train 8/13/2017

[crazymama_Lori]

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

brittann3 and LouG have 300 days!

Rick_M has 900 days!

Kathryn16 has 6 years!

---

Also today is National Left-Handers Day

And my favorite, National Filet Mignon Day

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) at any time.

[JonesCarpeDiem]

WOO HOO!

[Pops]

Hi Lori, I'm awfully late today....can I still catch a ride this late....???? I sure hope so....One can never get enough of those train wheels rolling on the tracks....I simply love how the rocking just sort of puts me to sleep.  I just had to ride along and congratulate the big milestoners today.....

brittann3 and LouG have 300 days!

Rick_M has 900 days!

Kathryn16 has 6 years!

Brittany, and Lou....was there ever a doubt that you both would make it here?  Not on my part, I assure you.  You both are simply "perfect" examples of what to do in order to be a successful quitter!  Congrats to both of you....and please take some time out today and find some quiet time to reflect on your journey to date......

Rick-M, what can I say my friend?  900 days seems like such a long time....who am I kidding? 900 days IS a long time.....congratulations!  Kathryn16 I so hope you can get some time out of your busy schedule to honor this day for what it really means......6 years is sooo soooo special....."Congratulations" to all of you!!!!!

I'm Pops, and I am on board with 446 Days of Freedom today!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!

[LouG]

THANK YOU Lori and fellow exers! for the acknowledgement and for helping at happen! woot woo.  Pops, great advice re reflecting, I'm there.  Loads of southern well wishes to you all (really southern, south coast Australia style southern) xoxo

[elvan]

LouG  I am so sorry I did not congratulate you on your 300 days....you certainly deserve that recognition!

Ellen

[Strudel]

Congrats to all of those with milestones today! 

[NewMe]

Welllll looky here! I was so sad when you said goodbye crazymama_Lori , because I always felt like I was still learning new things due to your undying curiosity and subsequent research into the "why" of all things related to quitting.  I'm very glad to see you back, and while Sunday is a tough day for me at work, I am sure glad I stopped by and had an opportunity to jump on your train. By the way, the other posting you had to advertise the Freedom Train, I kind of thought it might be a "help wanted" poster for people who were looking to run away and join the circus. Which sounds like a fine idea to me after the day I had at work today. Anyhow, some major congrats going out to our guests of honor today -   brittann3 , LouG , rosycowgirl , Kathryn16 , and Rick_M . Some impressive milestones there. I'm Karen, and I have 723 DOF.

[crazymama_Lori]

good to hear from you too.  I've got to learn to look more closely at my sheet next time.  I did a few whoops on the first day out.  but I've got it figured out now
