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..

Tracey, oh sweetie, what can I say, except, sooooo happy you didn't give in... happy Rez was looking after to you... glad you're still here to share a successful (but personal) part of your journey ....this "demon" is horrid .. glad you fought "him" off and you're still with us {{Tracey}} lov ya hun! sooooo proud of you!!xx

Doreen,.... sweetie....I don't believe you would start up again.. nope, just don't believe it...and you can't make me! -_- I'm not even gonna discus this with you... YOU - Doreen, won't start back up, I'd drag you to the "basement" myself an leave you there!! :angry:

Oh no Jackie.... I'm so sorry {hugs} none of us can change whats done, so the thing now is, are you coming back to try again? .... do you know the "why" of it? are you ready to face that "why"? as said above, we're here for you, you just let us know what we can do... {{{{hugs}}}}

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.

Hope you're feeling better and hopefully less bored today ... maybe you should listen to Nancy..and get some rest :lazy: ??... maybe? :yes3:

Congratulations!! :D

sooo happy for you hun!!

Good Morning!! :welcome: I hope you find your forever quit here.... we have lots of good folks who pop in with TONS of advice... ask questions, read, post what's going on with you and your quit, especially early in your quit helps... join the fun, and congratulations on your decision to quit!!..... P.s.... as for your spelling - don't even worry about that, English is my only language and I mess it up big time EVERY time I write anything. :laugh4: .. early on before i quit, I was told, "you are here to quit smoking - Not get an "A" in spelling" .. ;)

Ooooh now I see....not only are Doreens true colors show'n.. I mean, I knew I had to watch out for our Pip, (wouldn't want her use'n me as a practices punch'n bag for her kick boxing, :vava: ouch ) ... now i have sweet- :angel: lovely Doreen to worry about, (who knew?) :scratch_one-s_head: Tracey threatening to "put boot" to my backside. :cray: . and then.. THEN, sweet -gentle - always ready to offer a helping hand, -Nancy- is gonna send me back to the dreaded "Basement".....really?.. the " Basement " :o :girl_impossible: ..... WOW!!!, talk about "Tough Love".... LOL!! .. .. lov "U" guys too Thanks!! {hugs} :D
