I want to say Thank You..

[sherry]

to all here on the QT that reached out to me recently...got a lot good advice, and wonderful support...

 

I want to thank all of you, and let you (and our lurkers) know that I let  some of those closest to me in the family know I was really struggling keeping my quit lately... and rather then blowing me off - they were very supportive as well..

 

 

I didn't want to admit i was have'n a hard time... I didn't want them to feel like they had to "walk on egg shells" around me... what i found out is it's just the opposite... they want to help - but don't have a clue how...and as good as I THOUGHT I was hiding it - they knew I was starting to feel the strain, and had talked about me relapsing ... going to them and bringing it out in the open is something I wouldn't have done without the love and support I got here...

 

So, Thank You to my Quit Train family... your encouragement to open up here, let me have the good sense to open up to them... and things are a bit less pressured on the home front.

 

I'm still being "carried" on some very big broad shoulders ;) of a dear friend , cuz I'm still not 100%... but, I do feel stronger.

 

For our Lurkers out there... take this to heart... the people here really do care.. they saw what I couldn't see I needed for myself.. and they led me in the right direction...be confident that if you come join the QT family, if you start to lose your way, they'll help you find your way back...

 

But you have to join us first.....

 

I fully believe, if I hadn't listened to - been open to -all the help-support-advice and love I got here last week.. I'd be smoking again ...

 

So to my "family" here, from the bottom of my heart, {{{Thank You}}}..  :wub:

 

And to you out there reading this, make the leap... you wont go this alone - I promise.

Wonderful Lace.  So glad you chose to open up to family and close friends about how you were feeling.  Trust me, even though we feel like we are being blown off, these people really do care about us and what happens to us.  

 

I have said before, and I'll say it again, I so envy those people who never ever tried or were lured in to smoking.  They are the lucky ones.  They have no idea what this is like.  Congrats to you.  And we will always be here for you.

Jeez this place makes me cry lol.

 

So pleased you got the support you needed here,there and everywhere Lace.  Too many of us carry our burdens alone and there is no need to do that with smoking, the support is here and ever willing. It's a great thing!!

Hey Marti, thanks hun ...

 

I'm glad you brought this up...you know, I'm not sure that the lurkers know that support is given-  as you put it "here there and everywhere" .. I don't think they realize a lot of support goes on behind "closed doors" in PM's and emails.....

 

so for the lurkers out there, what you see here isn't all the members of this board has to offer..it's  just the tip of the ice burg.. :D

 

 DD, thank you ... I think I've earned at least one cookie! :P..
