Reciprocity

In your case Rob, it just may be an indication that your mental attitude has changed this time around. Last quit attempt you just smoked that cig. This time, you had the sense to think about it a while first and kept your NOPE :) Based on reading what I think was your introductory post, it seemed to me that you have learned that hard lesson about "just one puff". 2 weeks off those coffin nails is great. Hardest part behind you - best part ahead :D

Fabulous Robrr44!! isn't it great to put each of those early weeks behind you? I think I'll just join you in that Sunday NOPE!

I think you will be very pleased going forward CP1973 :) Yes, the craving will still be there but not always and not really even craves - more just thoughts of smoking with the occasional crave thrown in. I found that to be true with me anyway. We're all a little different in our experiences and timing but with us all, it just gets better the further you get into your quit. You're doing GREAT Claire!

I can't say I'm not disappointed to hear this because I am. We did our best to make all from the struggling QSMB feel welcome and more importantly to secure the quits of those who were early on in their quits. The celebratory stuff is all well and fine and really just an expression of our pride for the person reaching a milestone. A pat on the back from people who know how hard it is to reach those milestones. So I'm not really bothered much about how our last minute celebratory thread was perceived by the guest of honor. What I am truly happy about and what we should all be proud of are comments that we received from those QSMB people who were early in their quits. I believe one even suggested that coming here may have saved their quit! That's the real focus here - quitting this horrible addiction that literally costs lives and helping those early in that process to move forward toward their own personal freedom. That was our focus then and it should always be our focus going forward. I'm impressed that you Edna have paid us the courtesy of an apology for what ever may have been said elsewhere. That takes guts and a degree of personal accountability so - thank you. I also truly wish that as you go forward at QSMB now as a long term proven quitter, that you share all the knowledge you can to foster those new quitters along in their journey. That's our collective responsibility in paying forward the support we have all received along the way ourselves.

I was under the impression QSMB was up and running again and that people were able to log on to that forum once again. When did you last try? Mods or the Admin will need to answer your questions about posting personal emails and/or blog addresses here. I don't know but. if you are truly interested in helping people get off the cigs, why not just hang out here and participate? There is even a Blog area on the main page here that costs nothing to utilize. You can blog your brains out for free. I read the blogs here. I imagine others do too.

Mine bites me when I talk to him :angry:

Welcome ish :) Glad you decided to join us!

Just wait until the next time you bake cookies, bread or a pie though. Next time you are around a turkey cooking in the oven. Next time your hubby buys you flowers. That's when your new sniffer will really pay off :)

That's great CP1973 :) Yes, you are at the stage now when you'll start to get some relief from that seemingly unrelenting craving and anxious feeling. You still have work to do and will still have some struggles and down days but now you know that YOU CAN DO IT :) That's the best part. When you start to come out the other side of the hard times and suddenly realize; hey, I think I just might be able to actually do this after all :dance2:

Why thank you. I've never had a woman say that to me before :P 2

Oh my ................... If i had know it would be this song, I would have waited a while to exit into this world :lol: https://youtu.be/UHo6ug6yAmw

I think Ad / Marketing Agencies will use anything with a catchy beat or compelling melody to promote their goods. They figure most people won't have a clue as to where to song came from or it's meaning and, they're probably right.
