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!

^^^ This is what I take from these social media sites .... knowledge of others who have quit and stumbled along the way somewhere. Thank you Whispers for sharing your story of relapse. I know it must have been devastating to you but, it is helping people like me when you relate your experiences! I hope that gives you some comfort as it is important information to me and others who read your story. This is how we all learn which fork in the road to take

This is true! Many struggle with every breath, amputations due to restricted blood-flow! There are thousands of stories that could be told about the affects of smoking

^^^ This is why I'm so glad I joined up with a social media "quit smoking" site!!!! I would probably have fallen into the same thought process BUT now I know better. Never Take Another Puff!!! That's the key to staying quit
