Question

[Parsley]

can anyone tell me why, I am receiving, as messages, posts from when I tried to quit and failed before? 

 No explanation with them.....

ominous and kinda eery

[notsmokinjo]

Don't know Parsley... has anyone put new comments on them? Maybe not realising they were old posts.

 

I would find that a bit freaky too. So lets look at a silver lining... compare how you are now to then... see how much you have grown... how much you learnt from that time and how much stronger within yourself you are now.

[Parsley]

No comments...they were send as messages

I will look at the silver lining....later...

But thank you

[jillar]

Parsley, does it say who the message is from? I don't think anyone can send an anonymous message. 

[Parsley]

Will look again

[Parsley]

Oh crap....I think they are old!  Notifications for them today though... whatever.....feel better

[notsmokinjo]

Please don't let this rattle your quit or make you feel uncomfortable with it. I would be rattled too. Deep breath... oh you can do that now you don't smoke... maybe its just a glitch in the system.

[notsmokinjo]

Glad you feel better... I would have been rattled too... and don't forget paranoid thought process are par for the course in the early quit stages.... always best to get this stuff out instead of letting it fester into something nasty it doesn't need to be.

 

So happy its sorted. So sorry at the fright of it.... I hate it when anyone feels unwelcome here, especially newbies.... glad you weren't scared off.

Parsley ..if I can help off board ...let me know .. 

You cannot receive messages ..without knowing who they are from...

But hoping this problem has been solved..

People do have a habit of necromancing threads that have been inactive for several years but to send them to you as messages is weird.

They were old but had new notifications......just a glitch I guess..

Well how else do you propose we play hide and seek with Sonic's favourite thread? Its such a fun game.

 

Or do you mean the bumping of old smoking threads.... I think its amazing that those who have been on the train for years and have long, successful quits would spend there time retrieving and sharing old posts that helped them in the early days... all good things awaken from hibernation when they need to.

Threads are brought forward as newbies keep coming,and we make sure they get the help they need...it's not a habit...its  support .....nothing weird about that..

They are not sent in a private message ...
