Reciprocity

Be careful! We seem nice at first then when you get comfortably relaxed ...............

I was sick for a month before I quit - like really sick with bronchitis!! Finally realized I was still smoking even though I could hardly take a breath without initiating a coughing fit. Didn't know if I could make it stick or not but joined a couple of these social media quit smoking sites and educated myself about this addiction. Read stories about other's journeys and that really helped me stay the course through difficult times. 1 year later, here I am. Still quit - still an addict but healthier I expect. My wallet is fatter for sure but that was not a motivating factor for me. I had past many milestones where a pack of smokes hit whatever cost I told myself I would not pay. I had given up on that being a motivational factor for me. - lol.

I don't think anyone knows what's going on. The ownership change there some time ago seems to have taken a rather bizarre turn in that they are not communicating with anyone. Seems it's a wait and see situation for now anyway.

Yeah ...................... me too!!!

Geez .................... +OO

Ha.,ha! I know all about that movie. I stared in it!!

This is the path I have chosen - Complete abstinence! I have lived the alternative and now choose to make a change for my future

Oh wow! You are 3/4 of the way to the Lido Deck on the day after you have arrived at this special place. I am very proud to be able to celebrate this milestone with you Jane as I'm sure are many others from your home site. Congratulations on a fantastic quit. You are on track to the Lido Deck. Steady as she goes!!

Unfortunately, we can't dispel your concerns about your home site issues. All we can do is offer what ever hospitality we can, given our resources. It is completely understandable that all of you are a little disoriented and/or anxious as these quit smoking associations are intensely personal somehow. Losing that connection is I'm sure upsetting! Having been a member of numerous sites, I can assure you, people are people and those that are on this journey share a special bond. No matter which site you are associated with, there is a commonality that is universal so be assured - you are still home with those who understand you

I used to be a real looker when I was younger!

YES to both these replies!! I am not on any "social media platforms" aside from this one. I have never had any use for them but the association with other REAL people who are quitting has been invaluable to me in my own journey. Reading about other people and their struggles to be free of this addiction has been a huge plus for my own quit attempt

OK - Please change your quit date on your profile because it currently reads 04/12/2017. I base my celebration posts on what ever you show as your quit date in your profile. I want to get the celebration posts right because we have all worked so hard to achieve them

We all have our own particular motivating moments and it's really important that we do!! That's what is the difference between quitting for good or relapsing because this addiction draws us back when we become indifferent to it!
