Given what has been going on this past week with the QSMB site and the havoc it has created for many of you new and not so new quitters that have joined up with us over here, I just wanted to point out that this site exists because of Maryland Quitter. He was the creator of this place and he personally finances it. Yes he has technical help behind the scenes but HE is the driving force. If not for him and what he has done to create and maintain this place, we would all be out there scrambling and looking for a new home right now. I'm sure he won't want the spotlight but I for one would like to at least tip my hat to him - well done sir!!

NOPE... I must be a loony it's 4.30 am..!! The things we do to get to work..!!

NOPE here for NOPEster. I quit smoking. I have no more time in my life for the nicco addiction. I DO need to loose the 20 lbs Ive gained since quitting. I am miserable in that aspect. Please, can anyone help me feel better about this weight gain? Its been over a year now. Im 56, female, not lazy, but always felt good about my appearance. Struggling here. But I will never smoke again.

Nope and Happy Friday, all!

nope

NOPE -- not in anyway especially now that I have 8 weeks behind me and already a day or 2 into the 9th week. It has helped so far so not stopping the NOPE pledge now.

NOPE!

· What could possibly make me miss key moments in my kid’s lives so I could duck outside for 10 minutes? · What could possibly make me decline an entertaining evening (movie, sporting event, concert, etc.) because it required me to be somewhere for 2-3 hours? · What could possibly make me not care how offensive I smelled to my friends, family, and colleagues? · What could possibly make me lie to those I love? (Closet smoking, false quit claims) · What could possibly make me go back for more, even though it made me feel like $hit? It’s hard to fathom that there was ever an answer to any of these questions. I’m just grateful that I don’t even have to bother trying anymore.

NOPE

NOPE......

NOPE!

Nice 1 Sir !!!!....Your The Man !!!!

Hi to all the friendly Quitterheros out there! My name is Max, 32 years old, from Leipzig in Germany. I smoked for about 18 years, minimum 20 smokes a day, during the last two years more like 40 to 50, so: disgustingly much. I stopped smoking in the middle of Oktober 2017, so i am heading for 5 month right now. The first wild and aggressive time is over, but i am still very cautious and feel like carrying an egg of a hummingbird through the crouded Oktoberfest. I hope to gain some natural nonsmoking confidence over time. Until that day i will check in daily, read here and follow your stories ;-) Kind regards, Max

I typically like to respond to introduction threads individually, but with the deluge of new members I've fallen way behind. So to any newbies I missed and to all the QSMB refugees...Welcome to the Quit Train. Grab a seat and enjoy the ride.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

Welcome..there,s always room on this Train !!!

Hey ... I resemble that comment.... an guess wot I think I like it here an I'm hangin around ... that orta make ya day.

When I meet a new group of people, I always try to identify the crazy ones. Situational awareness. And there she is.

Hi Max- congratulations on stopping smoking. It is smart of you to recognize you may still be tempted from time to time. Reading & posting here will remind you why you quit & will remind you of how dreadful the first days (weeks!) of quitting can be-so dreadful you'll never want to go through it again! I know I don't!

Thank you Marylandquitter, thanks to your selflessness we have a place to go. It's appreciated more than you know

For a man who is not only passionate about helping others and to fully finance the forum my hat is also off to you. Talk about paying it forward!!!
