Slowly but surely. Special thanks to Nancy and The Bee for taking time to show a straggler the way.

The journey of a thousand miles...

But can you MulitQuote?

Quote feature...seems simple enough.

I am a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to technology. I'm not on Facebook or Twitter. I don't even know what the other social media sites are. Sometimes I feel like an 8-track tape deck living in a smartphone world. I see people posting videos, photos, links, etc. and I'm not quite sure how that works. So this thread is going to be my attempt at figuring this whole internet thing out. There will be no rhyme or reason and frankly, it could get messy. If you're like me, broke down on the on-ramp to the information superhighway, feel free to make this thread your own. Experiment and tinker to your heart's content.

Awesome news Karen. Momentum is in your favor and the wind is at your back.

NOPE!

Chris, Whatever temporary discomfort you may be dealing with is well worth the effort to rid yourself of cigarettes. The only thing smoking a cigarette offers is a brief nicotine fix that will silence the addiction on a very temporary basis. A nicotine fix is a fleeting thing. If you decide on one nicotine fix, you might as well commit to the thousands of cigarettes that inevitably follow that first one. For one nicotine fix, you will chain yourself back to the cigarette. You will continue to serve out your self-imposed life sentence of being a smoker. Is a nicotine fix worth more than your freedom, health, and self-respect? How much more are you willing to sacrifice for a never-ending series of nicotine fixes? Remember that any anxiety, irritability, lethargy, depression, or any other less-than-desirable feelings you may currently be experiencing are not to be blamed on quitting cigarettes. Withdrawal and all of the negatives associated with it are a result of having smoked cigarettes. The cigarette is the cause. The quit is the cure. You are a non-smoker now. You never "needed" a cigarette. The cigarette has nothing to offer and there is no rational reason to ever smoke again. Smoking is an exercise in futility that borders on insanity. The whole act of smoking depends on an addicted mind continually falling for the same illusory tricks day after day after day...All that is needed to end the cycle is for you to decide and commit. The choice is yours and the power is within. Proceed.

Welcome aboard Glenn and congratulations on quitting.

Thank you all for the welcome. I picked up some encouragement and some sound advice about not kicking train tires. Not much to report on my end. Right now I really feel at peace with this quit. Of course it is day one, so that is subject to change. Have a good, smoke-free day.

You always remember your first time...NOPE!

I have been a lurking around this forum for the last few weeks and have picked up some very useful information here. I've been thinking about quitting for a while and have finally decided that right now is the right time. You can only kick the tires on a quit for so long. I ashed out my last cigarette just before midnight on 3/8/16, so March 9, 2016 will be my first full day as a non-smoker. I am quitting cold turkey. I guess a brief introduction is in order: I started smoking off-and-on around the age of 14. At age 18 I became a pack+ a-day(20-30 cigarettes) smoker. I have a long list of specific reasons for quitting, but in general I am sick of planning my every waking moment around cigarettes. Between the time and money spent on smoking, my return on investment is terrible. I guess all that's left to say is: NOPE!
