Saw you just joined. Nice to see you here. :)

Hey, no problem. Colleen and babs are still here. They've been busy lately but still pop in. :)

She's a bum and is charging for coffee to buy books. You're not the first person to bring this to my attention, sadly. Ava. Nevermind. lol :friends:

Yes, I think. I hope he isn't playing Dale and killing zombies or worse, playing Walter White and cooking blue meth.

You get 3 round trip tickets to Beerfest. I insert a Pittsburgh Steeler.

That's awesome, Jenny! Losing weight is something to be very, very proud of because it doesn't come without dedication and work. :)

For today, I promise myself that I will not smoke. NOPE.

Glad to see you back, HAT. I hope you and your friend can help hold each other accountable. Tell him there's plenty of room on the train for him and the coffee is free. :)

GR8 job, Gabby!

I will seriously kick your ass if it's not. Well, not really but you're gonna make it stick this time. Don't give in anymore. Don't settle for anything less than the freedom that you deserve. Don't ever give an inch to this addiction. If I can stay quit, trust me, you certainly can too.

Where are you? Please check in so we know that you're okay. If you're smoking it doesn't matter. Check in anyway. Got it? Who else am I missing? Please add the names and I'll add them to the title. We have chains on the train for the stubborn relapser's and if need be, you'll be shackled in the caboose until you get your heads on straight and stop screwing around with your life.

Thankfully, I've not ever been there. He has to be a Steelers fan and we'll know for sure once football season comes around and the Ravens destroy and bust them up this season.

I use these and have for the last 8 years. Never fall out and still haven't lost them. :) http://www.klipsch.com/R6-headphones

It is very good. I added it to our documentary section this morning. :)

NOPE for me.

Glad you're doing so much better, Tracey. Things always look different after 12 hrs or so have passed. When we're angry, sad or in a crisis situation, we can be our own worst enemy because all we have is our current mindset to bounce our feelings and thoughts off of and when we're emotional, we're not capable of making sound decisions. It's so important to reach out and share feelings when you're pissed off, sad or beyond pissed off and are seeing red. It may be the last thing we think we need to do, but often times the right thing to do is the hardest or most uncomfortable. You used Paul as your sounding board and what he did is something that we're incapable of doing by ourselves when we're in the middle of a crisis. Your outlook changed dramatically in a very short amount of time. I hope the lurkers see this thread and pay attention because of the many benefits of a quit smoking support group, the 24/7 support that is available online is beyond price. Get involved and get to know other members because that way, when you need a little help, you know the source and it can make the difference of lighting up or not. Great job, Tracey. Paul, you quite possibly saved a quit and even if Tracey would have held her own, you quieted her mind and spoke reason to her. Again, beyond price. :)

Smoking won't calm you down. I know because I tried it before and it didn't work. Go for a walk or a run and release that adrenaline. All smoking will do is produce more of it.

Happy birthday, HM! Did you do anything fun to celebrate?

I quit smoking so I will not be smoking today. NOPE. Same thing I told my wife when she asked if I saw the last Klondike Bar. NOPE.

So Sorry, Marti. It's very hard to watch a family member in these situations. NOPE.

I can tell you firsthand that smoking after you've made a firm decision to quit sucks and it's disappointing. Right now you're thinking that smoking would make you feel better, that you miss it and even crave it. It's all a lie. Trust me, you would not enjoy smoking anymore. Think about it all you want but if you smoke, you're gonna regret as soon as you light it. I suggest that you start thinking about something else and stop those thoughts from growing and planting the seeds to relapse. You don't smoke so why would you even consider starting? :)

When that SOB appears, hold your ground and fire at will.
