YEAH THIS IS SOOOOO EXCITING

I have missed you guys terribly!!!! I haven't done it again yet but am aiming for a quit date within a week. I tried again while the board was down but to no avail.

I only have a quick second because my kids are going crazy but I will be back later to post again. Welcome to the new person....stay strong

I don't understand!!!!!

I posted a message 2 seconds ago and then went to find it and it was gone....I was talking about how we should give the site a chance...but now I am not sure. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Anyway...I plan on quitting tonight again...... I also sent my love to all and told you all how I missed you guys and I apologized for pulling into myself lately and being selfish...

I had a huge post and now it is gone....I don't like it....why fix something that wasn't broke! Dr. Phil talks about support well I don't know about you guys but it wasn't very supportive to cut people off like that without any warning.

Sorry for ranting and raving but geez now I am pissed.

I will post later when I am in a better mood!

Good Wishes being sent to you all.

Shelly

I have this in my "favs' on my computer, but in case I lose it, how did you all find the board..did you start at the Home page? please let me know the first time anyone gets a chance..thanks..xoxoxo Ann

Hey Ann,

I am soo glad to hear you and Rick will quit again on the 1st...your comment on how you weren't sure you were ready reminded me a lot of the first post of yours I responded too....remember....."not sure if I am strong enough" well I said then and I will say even with more authority now......"you are strong enough"

I too had put little messages to everyone in my post...I guess I will have lots of time tomorrow to send everyone little messages.

So as to your question...on the home page it has a message board link then go to support and then it lists about 4 support groups and there we are!!!!

btw I have meant to tell you...the picture didn't come through!!!!

Lots of Love

Shelly

Hi Aggie

Quote From: agathe1949

Been trying to post a message but I keep loosing it. When I click "edit" the message dissapears. So here goes for the last time........

Hi Ann;

No, not to crazy about this "new"site either. It should be called "confusing site". Yes it would have been so easy for anyone to have posted, letting us all know that the message board was coming down for a while. Little inconsiderate things like this make life a little harder for an addict. During all this time (trying to stay smoke free and not being able to post), I wondered how all my friends were doing and who exactlythe message board was really for....usor the Dr. Phil Show.Complicated and confusing!!

That having been said, I hope that everyone else will be able to find the new site.Welcome to the new comers. Good luck to all those on the verge of tryingto quit for the first time or again. Hugs to everyone from up north.

Aggie

Thank you so much for sending the link and letting me know that it was back up. I had been checking in but to no avail.

Glad to hear you are still smoke free!!!!

Lots of Love

Shelly

Hi Tracy

Quote From: tray00

Thought I would clarify, I quit for 3 weeks, and if it wasn't for hubby I would still be. BUT I WISH!!! LOL

I am so confused with this new look. I don't know if I am missing messages....of what!!!!

Remember when someone said there was another site we could go to for quitting smoking and a few of us went to it, well the reason I didn't like it was because it was like this. I like the idea that we can change stuff but otherwise, this is really confussing!

Glad you are hear!!!! I have missed everyone sooooo much.

Look forward to catching up with you and everyone.

Lots of Love

Shelly

Hi Leasa

Quote From: leasap23

I'm so aggravated at this new site. MAN! I don't like it at all! Congrats to Mario....big dawg going on 7 months!! :O)That's great man,....keep doing ya thing. So, let me make sure I'm right... is tray00 Tracey? I am pretty sure, but it said she has been quit for 3 weeks!!! Not that I doubt it, it was just the last time I posted she was struggling so I wanted to congradulate you for 3 weeks! Anyways, I got on to read from you guys and got frustrated again over how confusing and crappy this new site is. I wonder if it would do any good for us all to send an email and tell them? Probably not!

Glad you are hear too !!!!!

Hang in there....we will get used to this site!!!

Lots of Love

Shelly

Hi HoJo

Quote From: hojo465

I quit July 10th 2004.. my one year anniversary was 2 weeks ago.... now how do I get my wife to quit? ..or rather.... what can I do to make her want to quit? I know I spent a year smoking and not enjoying it, just being addicted before I got to a place where quitting was "easy" I was ready. She tells me she still "enjoys smoking" is there anything I can do?

Congrats on the year!!!!

I think you know the answer to is there anything you can do to help your wife quit!!!! A smoker will not quit until they are good and ready. Perhaps you can suggest that she visit the website whyquit.com it is very helpful for getting your head around what smoking does to you!!!!

Welcome to the site...we love newcomers!!! Although I guess we are all newcomers now!!!

Stay Strong
