Reciprocity

I still say you are at 0 here by counting the girls/guys responses and assuming they are posting a number so I will post up a +1 here.

I will always cherish my freedom from addiction slavery and therefore, I will never smoke again; Not One Puff Ever! I will support all other quitters in any way I can because I want them to feel the same freedom I do. I will always remember why I quit and when. I will appreciate each and every smoke free day I live because they are just better! I will always remember the people here and elsewhere who encouraged me and helped to educate me about nicotine addiction

OK I just didn't scroll back far enough to see all the bogus numbers - LOL. Based on the male/female o=posts since the sticks win at 20 by Boo I figure I'm a -1 here on this post? Let me know if that's fair

Welcome (officially)! You are now a non-smoker just like all of us Stick around because it;s important to educate yourself about this addiction and get as much support as you want or need.

No clue what the score is now with all this banter I'll go with 18 though!

Mom's are the greatest! They bring us into this world, protect us until we can fend for ourselves and basically make our world go round! Here's to Moms of all shapes, sizes and colours They are also the driving force behind every child's Christmas dreams. Can you imagine Dad's being in charge of all that stuff

Yet ANOTHER 11 month celebration and this one's for our Octain! Great job my friend! You're only a month away from that Lido Deck and looking real good! Celebrate this milestone and treat yourself then Ride On to the Lido Deck Octain

Welcome back! You've received great advice Blur! Just bite off small pieces in these early days. Don't look at the long game - just this minute, this hour for now. Keep busy and distracted. If you have the time, spend all day and night if necessary right here reading everything your can. Play some games on the games page to keep your mind and hands busy. You will find a way once you make that unwavering commitment to yourself!

Congrats Rory! Only 1 more month to the Lido Deck where you can really let loose with that magical stringed instrument

Oh Geez! 11 months already? You gotta be shi*in me! It seems like yesterday you were just a wee newbie - Lol! Hey! Congrats buddy. You deserve nothing but the very best of celebrations. Your NOPE record is impeccable and ..... I heard you've just taken up long boarding too Rock on M5!

I'm guessing that you are already starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel getting brighter and brighter and you will start to see more and more points when you feel just "normal" again - not struggling to be something you're not comfortable being (if that makes any sense to you ). It happens to everyone at some point during that first year when we truly see that a permanent quit IS possible for us and that we can not only live with it but we welcome it!
