April 6, 201511 yr I don't get it. You joined us about a week ago. There is a lot to see and do on the Quit Train, I think you are rushing things a bit. Ask for help, if you need it...
April 6, 201511 yr I musta missed something... I think... maybe not... NOPE! Edit... I been away a couple of days but have now read your posts Raya Don't forget your tool bag... KMQ (keeping my quit)
April 6, 201511 yr Hey Raya.Are you using a mobile device? Phone or tablet. Or, even with a laptop or desktop, you might find the "mobile" viewing easier. To check which you like, try going to the main page, go down to the bottom of it and look for "Change Theme", and try the "Mobile view". If, you are on that, you can go to the bottom of the page again, and look for "Full Theme", to go to that. That's both the themes, I've shown you.In either event, try playing with that to see, if another theme is easier for you.
April 6, 201511 yr Author Mike ,thanks for the tip ... actually for the time being that does feel a little more comfortable . I am an old foggie ( young at heart LOL ) and am not very computer literate . So how does one add friends on here . I also tried posting stats banner by copy paste , but it only showed the code ..what am I doing wrong? Where is the instruction manual LOL.. Wait I have 2 and 5 yr old Grandkids ; they will know .. what kids can't teach Grandma these days about computers LOL.. Thanks to those who reached out to welcome and offer help . I will check back and will lurk a bit until I can figure out some things . If I can quit smoking , I can figure this out too :) Have a good night everyone .
April 6, 201511 yr Raya... click/tap on the members name or avatar and in the next window should be a tab to "add as friend" I am not sure about copy and paste for mobile devices... might be time to hit the grandkids up for tech help me thinks also Will be nice to have you stick around... us newly quit can really do with your advice :)

We all know quitting is serious business but I have always said quitting can also be fun . It starts with day one ; march forth a day a time and victory is won. Quitting is not impossible . Now that's the spirit Raya! It takes a little time to learn new things especially you being a old fart like me! Being in management you know people fear change at work and the same thing applies to quitting. Our mind and body fears this change so we have to retrain our brain and detox our bodies and it is not always easy. It also takes some time learning how to be a non smoker like watching out for triggers, dealing with the cravings, changing your way of thinking about smoking, dropping old bad habits and making new healthier habits. It does help to post a lot at the beginning because everyone here has gone through what your going through now. There is a lot of experience here to help you. Best of luck to you my friend.
April 6, 201511 yr Aww so glad you are staying Raya, I am a numpty at the computing stuff, cant do half the things that some can on here, but its a fantastic little corner of the internet, and its our corner of the internet and its kept me sane many a long long day but all you have to do is reach out and there is always someone here to help you, xxx
April 6, 201511 yr I see that you have already added friends, so that's covered! If you click on people's screen names here, it would take you to their page (profile) where you will see the options to send them private messages. Feel free to reach out to people, we'd be pleased to help you! We are happy to have you here, thanks for staying back :P - DW
