Reciprocity

Glad your sis is past her surgery and on the mend. This Covid thing is screwing up a lot of other stuff, that's for sure. Hopefully your sister sees her 'smoke free' hospital stay as a good head start on quitting as well but what you said before is true. People are ready when they're ready themselves. We can only gently encourage them I suppose.

Topics upper right of my screen now reads 99,988. Guess it's busy catching up or something - lol. I see the screen you're seeing too so one is clearly wrong.

00 Post count only 99,984 at this moment, unless that isn't working properly either?

Nope!

I still say there's an issue here. Been some weird things happening after you post, especially if it's about to kick over to a new page. Weird. -13

Game starts at zero. Chicks (girls) count down. Sticks (guys) count up. When the score gets to -20 Chicks win. When the score gets to +20 sticks win. Bragging rights are the prize!

There's something really wrong with the response factor to this thread. I've posted several times recently when the score has read one thing then when my post comes up it's not even close to the actual score. I've noticed this happening with others as well recently - annoying! -14 (maybe?)

Oh Geez .... a girl Gus eh? Humm ............ OK, don't both with the chicks or sticks game then. It's no fun anyway By the way, good job fighting your way through another day. They tend to be long ones in the early stages of your quit. Hang in though; it does get better

Ya done good MQ! Have an extra large coffee to celebrate!

Yes! We can always use more guys in the Chicks or Sticks game I'm assuming you're not a chick named Gus?

On a side note, I wonder why some people dream and others don't; or at least don't remember dreaming. I could count on the fingers of one hand the number of dreams I've ever had in my life. I think it's like 3? None involved smoking.

Sounds like you have built yourself a pretty solid quit foundation Dogbelly. Congrats! Stand on guard & protect that quit always!

Hey Gus! Welcome to Quit Train! A place where all will welcome you as a fellow quitter and give you all the support you want. There's also a ton of information and videos here about quitting. This place can make a big difference to someone just starting out who's feeling a little lost. First of all, quitting is an emotional experience, particularly in the early days so don't worry about that. It will settle soon enough. I too did not tell anyone in my family or my friends or coworkers I'd quit for some time. Don't know why. Probably so I wouldn't look like a fool if I caved in right away. I think that's pretty normal to have reservations about shouting out your intentions from the roof tops. My recommendation to you is to have a look around this forum and use all the information to your advantage. Stay close to this place for support. Anyone can quit with a solid commitment and a little support along the way

Nope!
