Quote From: linda12k

So nice to see some newcomers. Hope you have luck posting on this board, it has a mind of it's own. Well in quitting smoking, you have to take one step at a time, or should I say "one breath at a time". It seems the road is long at first, just trying to attempt to quit. But once you have one step behind you, there is another step in front of you, that's when you decide to go forward or step back !!! Us old timers, are here to put out a hand in helping, heaven only knows how much we reached out in the beginning.

Tray..that sounds cool

Quote From: tray00

Just wanted to say hi!  Ann that is such a great idea to do with pots!  I have a freind that does stuff like that.  She had this cofee table, it had three peices of glass in it, anyhow she took the glass out , and the placed a peice of wood under it, in then used these tiles that she bought and grouted them in.  Does the table ever look awesome!  Great thing to do instead of throwing it out because  a peice of glass got broken! 

  

This is my third day on the welbutrin, I hope it starts to kick in!  I am looking forward to a year from now when I can call my self a non-smoker! 

  

  

wow that coffee table sounds cool..I'll have to remember that,,I just love doing things like that and painting furniture..I'm right now looking for a chest of drawers to paint and do a lace treatment on...I seach the thrift stores..I hope your Wellbutrin kicks in..I was so disappointed when I tried to quit this time that the Wellbutrin didn't make cigs taste bad like they did the first time I tried to quit..I will keep taking them though..I wish I had been smoke free during this tragedy..I'm smoking more and hating myself more..I have set a quit date for a week from today..I took the Wellbutrin today and will prayf or it to 'take hold'like it did in February...I'm experiencing that shame again from smoking and allowing myself to get too emotional over this Hurricane..I shared on the Hurricane board today about how I was separated from my Mother when I was seven in a tornado..it was awful..some of those wounds are still in me I guess..I cry everytime I see a child or animal on TV..I'm trying not to watch it as much..it's just so sad and it's not helping anyone..so, I'm headed to Curves and then to a meeting tonight..hope all of you are doing well and thanks for responding Tray..hello to Mario Linda and Gina and everyone else..Ann

Hi evryone, Well, it's been almost 3 weeks for me. I amazed myself, by quitting for this long. I hope all of you are doing well with being smoke free. It is still pretty hard at times, but not as hard as I thought it would be. Every other time I tried to quit, it was terrible. Thr tables sound beautiful. Take care all Gina

Wow, this board woke up !!

Wow, has this board came alive!!!!  

Ann--, whatever we can do to help, let us know.  You are a very strong person, you can do this again.  You have all the tools and our hand is reaching out to you to help. Whatever stress is coming your way, post on the board. You where such an inspiration, come on Ann, we are rooting for you.  

Mario--, 8 months, Bravo !!! Way to go, so proud of you.  

Aggie--, you are one strong and courageous lady, you have quite a few months tucked under that belt for not smoking; and some of the situations (that break-in) would have I think done me in. But in that moment you came to the board to post instead of picking up a cigarette, Kudo's to you my Lady.  

Ms. Shelly--, we know those little boys are keeping you busier than busy, and the new job, hope it's working out great. The wagon is just about to pull up, time for you to jump on board, no more beating yourself up first, we can pull you through this.   

Tray00--, you have stuck with this board a pretty good while now, so glad you didn't let this board die, I had my doubts ( about the board) at times. Lets find a quit date and hop on the wagon.  

Gina--, way to go girl, so proud of you.  This has got to be one of the biggest wars a person has to fight, when you take that step to say "I want to be smoke free".  

Welcome Shirlee--, we are so here for you.  

Leasa--, you have had alot of sadness in your life in the past few months. Let's take that deep breath and say one more time, you can do it. We are here for you.  

If I miss anyone, I apologize, and I hope I didn't  offend any of you, everyone has been such a life line to me in quitting smoking, that is what I want to do in return, to help. I still have to pinch myself that  I'm at 5 months, something a year ago, I didn't think I could ever do. It was totally the support of this board that pulled me through, I thank you again.
