February 26, 20188 yr Just wanted to point out that we have an SOS page here. For new quitters, this is a place to post up an urgent message if you feel you are being overcome by an urge to smoke. WAIT - don't do that! Post up an SOS on this page and wait for 3 responses before you do anything!! There is also a "Pre-respond to your own SOS" thread on that page. This is where you can write yourself a message in advance. Something that is meaningful to YOU!! Go there when you feel weak and read it! It just may be what you need to re-energize your will power. At the very least, it will buy you time. Very strong urges to smoke don't last all that long so buying some time is important!

Very strong urges to smoke don't last all that long so buying some time is important! That is a great thread that is unfortunately overlooked far too often. It's great to get encouragement from others, but no one knows you better than you do. Personalize it and get right to the heart of the matter. Maybe you need positive reinforcement. Or maybe you need a swift kick in the ass. Only you can answer that. It's never a bad thing to have a full toolbox.
February 26, 20188 yr I never read the "Pre-respond to your own SOS" thread before. This is some really good and useful reading. I'm definitely going to have to take the time to read all of it and come up with my own. Thanks for recommending it.
February 26, 20188 yr Author It's a feature unique to this site I believe. A very useful tool as Boo pointed out

There was a JONNY5 on QSMB that was active before I joined. Had I known that, I would have chosen a different name. He's written some really great stuff on both boards but he is not me.

We them both. hahaha I remember being really confused when the second one showed up. I even wondered if he was up to no good. But it was clear pretty quickly he was a good guy, just like the original. lol
February 27, 20188 yr A pre recorded message SCREAMING "DONT LIGHT ONE YOU FOOL" lol to go along with the pre-SOS
