March 1, 20188 yr Alas, it appears I am homeless. Although I seldom post anymore, I still need a place to call home. I am hoping one of my friendsnremember me, and make a little room at the table. O am over three years quit now, and it must be working, I couldn't remember my quit date to register. With that said, hello familiar faces, jope you let me hand around. Sorry all, typed late at night on my cell phone! Plus I guess I'm known for typos!
March 1, 20188 yr Welcome to Quit Train gon I'm sure one of your many friends from QSMB will be happy to fill you in on anything you want to know. Let me know if there's anything we can help you with and we'll do our best! There's an empty seat right over there by the wine fridge Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
March 1, 20188 yr Glad to see you here Gonfishn. Quite a few of us from QSMB are here. Hopefully, many more will migrate.
March 1, 20188 yr Author It's good to see you Jill! I was away working and poof!!!!! It was unsettling. I know we have some friends here. Old and new. Thank you Joe. My friends just call me gon.
March 1, 20188 yr Welcome aboard Gon.. You have many friends here old and new...all travelling on the same route.....glad you found us...
March 1, 20188 yr Welcome aboard Gonfishin. The water is fine and the fish are biting. Grab a seat and stay awhile.
March 1, 20188 yr Welcome, Gon!! Good to see you. Do you perhaps have a copy of Mental Balloons you could share here?
March 1, 20188 yr Author Ha! I wish I did. I assume there is no archive at the other side to draw from?
March 1, 20188 yr Unfortunately, no. I can see some content using the Wayback Machine http://archive.org/web/, but not a lot.

I'm going to try to paste it: Mental Balloons Posted by gonfishn21 on 16 January 2015 - 06:17 PM As I'm now chasing the tweenie label, and have been thinking a lot about the concerns I have had regading No Man's Land, its got me thinking again. As most of you know, that means I'm going to ramble. Although I am not one that needs a lot of kudos, it seems that it is a necessary part of this process for a while. We make it through day 1 HURRAH!!!!!!!!!! We make it through hell week HURRAY!!!! Heck week over, " I feel better" HURRAy!! Two weeks, wow, learning to get through the craves, HURRay! Three weeks, can be around my friends and family without committing a felony, HURray Four weeks, nerves under control, waistband a little tight, not bad, HUrray Five weeks, walking, eating right, digestion shut down, but not smoking, Hurray Six weeks, no craves, no moods, no smoking, digestion shut down, HUH? Seven to eight weeks, no one wants to know but you, how you are doing. By the way, my digestion is shut down! They really stopped wanting to hear weeks ago, you just kept talking about it. You can see it in their eyes when you walk up. They probably have a pool about how long it will take you to bring it up. Or even worse, the day your digestion works! Yeah, wow woot woot yippee, big deal. Hello No Man's Land' How am i going to keep going with this? I need to bring my own ballons to the party. I know my friends and family care, but they dont get it. Even as firm as I have been since day one, this is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I know it, thats all that matters. As i reach the little milestones ahead, I need to be the one who says HURRAY!!!!!. I need to be the one who acknowledges the accomplishments. Afterall, in the end, I made the decision to quit, I made it through hell week, heck week, and i am the one who may never digest food again. I need to remind myself everyday, how much I have accomplished, BEFORE I have a chance to get weak. In that way, I can stay ahead, be ready to face any challenge with a strong defense. Smoking is no longer an option for me. Smoking is just something I used to do. I control my actions, and smoking is a choice. I choose not to smoke, even if I never digest food again. I found a website the other day, that actually teaches you HOW TO SMOKE. I couldn't believe it. It takes you through lighting it, drawing on it, how it feels.......Holy Crap I was feeling it!!!!! Two flipping months into this, and I was feeling it, and then I knew. I had to make mental ballons and carry them with me at all times. Everyday is a celebration, everyday needs reminders, and everyday has its challenges. There is no one here, that can not do it. I'm not special. I'm just going to carry my own balloons. Just sayin, Gon
March 1, 20188 yr Wonderful!! Gon, can you copy and paste into new thread?? Edited March 1, 20188 yr by Nancy
