Helping others find freedom..

[Doreensfree]

Its still very vivid in my mind..how I felt ..when I arrived at the boards...

Scared..had so many failed attempts.. Scared I would fail again...

I was so overwhelmed at the welcome I received..it made me believe I could do it..

Day by day the support kept coming.. And my quit grew day by day...

This is the reason I stay around..hoping I can do the same ..

I love seeing a newbie succeed...and reach that wonderful lido deck..

Without this place..I'm not sure where my life would be right now..

I hope I never forget and take this place and my quit for granted...

Just sayin..

Xxxxxx

Doreen, you should be proud of yourself, and even more proud of all the wonderful support you give others.  You are the soul of this board, and we are very lucky to have you here!

Becoming a non-smoker is so freeing!  I love seeing others succeed and helping when I can.

This should be on the main board as it's a testament to your success and can and will give somebody the courage to take that first step into the unknown and quit.   :)

I believe anyone can succeed in quitting smoking. Lurkers: the forum is free.

Portuguese Sea

Oh salty sea, so much of your salt

Is tears of Portugal!

Because we crossed you, so many mothers wept,

So many sons prayed in vain!

So many brides remained unmarried

That you might be ours, oh sea!

Was it worthwhile? All is worthwhile

When the spirit is not small.

He who wants to go beyond the Cape

Has to go beyond pain.

God to the sea peril and abyss has given

But it was in it that He mirrored heaven.
