checking in to see how everyone is, it looks like the board livened up a little after Doc had it on his main page about quitting smoking..I am still in relapse, so i don't come on very often, but I like to say 'hi' to the old timers that were here and to greet the newcomers..I've pretty much given up on quitting for now..I just passed my tenth anniversary of being sober and just don't want to face giving up anything else right now..I did have four months though, so this board DOES WORK..it was like an oasis..I talked to my sponsor in my twelve step program and she told me if I'd just get off my butt and do some type of volunteer work I wouldn't have as much time to be so self absorbed with my own issues..I got kind of mad at her, but I've been doing everything I can to help during this hurricane, it looks like we may have a lot of people coming up from Texas, so i'm going to help at the shelters..I have a small home and no place to put anyone up, but I can go out and help, maybe that will get my mind off of me, me me and my cigs..love to all..Ann
