May 18, 201511 yr Thank you, QT peeps. You are awesome, and I have learned so much from you all. Tonight I just feel so grateful and happy to be a non smoker. I must have tried a dozen times to quit over the past few years, and could never get beyond day 3. And here I am, at day 103. Sometimes I think about this. I remember how I would always relapse on day 4. I remember that feeling of hopelessness. Going back to smoking never felt like a happy event. The first things I found on this site were hope, and community. Then I found education. Before I go to sleep I like to just breathe deeply, and have that be a prayer. The word spiritual comes from the Latin word for breath. I will breathe a prayer of thanks to all of you, all over the world, who have quit smoking, and who support others in this miracle of not smoking. Thank you, lovelies!
May 18, 201511 yr You know, education is a big key to this whole thing but as I get longer into my quit, pledging each day really, really keeps my head in the right place. For some people it's not needed for those like me, I like the idea of taking the NOPE pledge each day because for me, it does something. Now, having said that, I need to take today's pledge as I've been slacking and slackers can get complacent and sometimes find themselves in trouble. :)
May 18, 201511 yr So happy for you CPK - always knew you could do it and even happier that now you believe it too. .. Onwards and upwards from here :-)
May 19, 201511 yr We all come here from different corners of our own little worlds to quit smoking. Way to go!!! Every smoke free day is a blessing to all of us. :)
May 21, 201511 yr Author blah blah blah.... its all you really.....we just watch and point fingers I don't understand what this means.
May 21, 201511 yr I don't understand what this means. It sounds a little like this but I'll try my best and translate for you cpk
May 21, 201511 yr Author It sounds a little like this but I'll try my best and translate for you cpk don't have time to watch these. do you have a point?
May 22, 201511 yr I believe the point was, that you did not need to thank us, because you did all the work.
May 22, 201511 yr OMG! CPK....sometimes there are people you just have to ignore. Such a shame they drive people off this site. You're doing great. Don't let this kind of negative feedback or condescending "advice" discourage you. The objective here is success in quitting smoking & guarding a Quit. We know who help us & who do not at this stage. OMG! Tyme2b There has only ever been support here for cpk... go through all my past posts to cpk... don't jump the gun The same goes for bakon... don't know bacon but only seen support Thanks nancy... hugs
May 22, 201511 yr Author Thanks, Nancy, now I understand. Still thanking all because support is an important component to a successful quit. As well, shared education and experience.

Nancy....your posts have always been supportive. You are a wonderful advocate for Newbies & anyone "wobbling". And so are most other QT support people. I did not mention even one name or one quote??? Goodbye & good luck to All. We are Winners....only WE can keep it that way. Passive aggressive much ;)
May 22, 201511 yr Before someone else want to make more of this than it is blah blah blah.... its all you really.....we just watch and point fingers is same as It sounds a little like this but I'll try my best and translate for you cpk is same as I believe the point was, that you did not need to thank us, because you did all the work. No one was doing what Tyme claims
May 22, 201511 yr Nancy is right :) the thanks goes to yourself because you did the work. It's nice to say thank you, but make sure and pat yourself on the back while you are at it.
