I agree. I am not one for social media. Don't even have a Face-Plant account but this place is different. There's a purpose to it and I was very pleasantly surprised at how effective it was once I joined up. Not sure I would have made it on my own?

If anyone mentions Dion again, I may not be able to resist jumping in with a post that would ultimately get me banned, not only from here but perhaps from the Province of Quebec as well - just sayin!!

Condolences on the passing of your beloved father Kate! I'm glad to hear you are pursuing every method of creating a successful quit for yourself that you can. This smoking addiction is nasty and I just hate it! It only takes and gives us nothing good in return. Hope to see you when ever you feel you'd like some support from us here on the Train.

3 Morning all

Hi Sandy! Congrats on your awesome quit! That is a very important thing you have finally managed to do for yourself Just throwing out a wacky idea here about your sudden lack of motivation to get off your butt and do stuff but here goes ............................ when we smoke, we tend to use that sometimes as as distraction in the midst of doing something and then again after we have finished some activity we were doing. Smoking was literally tied together with everything we did day to day. Just wondering if maybe there's a subconscious fear that if you go back to your normal routines, the urge to smoke will become stronger again even after this long? I'm probably full of crap but ..... best I can do at the moment. I hope you find a way to re-start your activities or find some news ones and maintain that great quit at the same time!

OK - thanks Weegie! This will help a lot more people than you might think

Nope! Cuz Rhino is looking to us for inspiration so we gotta show him it's doable

15 Hey Rhino!! How's it goin?

So who's Ivy? My Mom! She's 98 years young today and still living on her own in a 3 story house. So, what's the connection with this smoking forum? It's not just because she's my Mom and she's awesome but, she smoked for roughly 20 years back in the day when the majority of people smoked. I can still vaguely remember her and my father smoking when I was a young kid. They both quit the cigarettes at some point but my Dad took up cigars then - they finally did him in or at least contributed to his demise significantly. My Mom ended up having battles with 2 different forms of cancer probably 30 years apart from each other. She beat it both times so, there you go if you are looking for inspiration to begin your quit or maintain an established one 98 and still fit as a fiddle, relatively speaking is clearly doable . Her biggest issue is her hearing. I was never aware that her TV volume button went to 70 until the last time I visited her place. No wonder she rarely answers the phone when I call her She refuses to get a hearing aid because she says; "those are for old people"!

Really happy to see you are still fighting the good fight Wantsit! Every one of us deserves to find their freedom from this addiction

Is there anything in particular that you can identify that made this one work for you Weegie?
