Join the List!

Wow, I'm so flattered that I'm on your list. Thank you Mr. Ed. Wow, you did all this yourself? It's an awesome list! I might not come here that often, but when I do, I always feel "at home". This is a good place to be. Next month, I'll be 4 years old. Woo Hoo. Whodathunk? But if I can do it, YOU can do it too. Life is good!

ADDICTION

This was posted by me when I was a regular on this site and very early in my quit. It was given to me by my doctor. I'm so glad to see it bumped up again because it is a real keeper. Thanks for bringing it up. It reminded me of how very true this is.

ADDICTION

That is very cool Luna, nice meeting you too. All I can think of is Sucia Island in the San Juans which I named my cat after because of it's beauty, but that's a state marine park. :p You lucky duck you, living on a small island. I'll have to check my marine charts again. PS I like your stats too! Let's keep on kick ash.

Thanks Luna! Was aware of the dirty island, but it's so beautiful there though. I've been reading some of your posts here tonight with so much interest. You are truly a blessing on this site.

P.U.P.P.Y.

This is for all you guys out here. I copied a binder full of very memorable posts here in the past and wanted to share it with you. This is one of the important ones: ��let me share this with you. It is our P.U.P.P.Y., as written by Nancy D:� as quoted by Kestrel... P.U.P.P.Y. A quit is very PERSONAL. You may be self-absorbed, even selfish. There are some things about it you will tell no one. Guard your quit as if it were your most precious asset. A quit is UNIQUE. It�s not one-size-fits-all, not even one-size-fits-most. There are similarities in experience, yet how you feel about and react to each experience can barely be communicated, let alone shared. The PLAN (the Journey provided by this site) is a living document. Work it, and rework it. As you learn and grow, you will have more insights, and perhaps become more honest with yourself. Go back to your Glovebox, and refine the contents, making them better and stronger. PARTICIPATION in the forums is a lifeline. For some, that means they will post a lot. Others may only read a lot. But there is help, wisdom, and laughter there for you. YIELD to the changes you must make. Some will be painful, and temporary. Others will be lifelong, and wonderful.

Thanks Jean49. It's always a pleasure to visit you guys again. And thanks for starting this thread. Every day is a new day that you can cross off on your calendar as not smoked. It just adds up all the time. I wish you all the success in the world.

Things I learned during week one of my quit.

Hey friend of almost the same name! You really amaze me. You are so in sync with your quit. I am so proud of you. I can tell that you are a winner. You are doing all the right things and I am so impressed by your determination. You just keep on doing what you're doing.
