Hi Megama,
I think you're going to make Friday the 13th a VERY lucky day! You may have lost the battle, but you will win the war. It's only those who quit trying who lose.

Bob, I love this post.
�Far too often, we can let those simple moments of awe pass us by.�
Since Sunday I�ve been sick with the flu along with a sinus infection and ear infection. All together, not an especially good week. Tonight was the first time since then that I�ve hugged my daughter � didn�t want to give her the bug. She turned 17 this week, and she hugs me every morning and every evening, and has done so all her life. A simple moment � one of the best parts of my day. Now, even better, because I don�t smell like smoke.

Hi Kizzer, We all love our quit meters and have even had discussions about needing to have a quit meter to wear on our wrist. Click [url=http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/support/viewmessages.aspx?topic=22696&forum=1]here[/url] for an old post you might also find interesting. Congrats on your 57 days!
Gee, I wonder where Kiwikeith is? Never see him or Carpepax or Catdaddy on site anymore. (Just ramblin� folks. I spent quite some time going down memory lane searching for the post. Shevie, I thought it was your post, and enjoyed going back through your writings. Some great stuff there.)

Hi Mc,
Funny, I just replied to a post and said almost the same thing. During my early quit there were several members that I bantered back and forth with. Shevie, who is still here (thank goodness), and also Catdaddy, Carpepax, and Kiwikeith who I never see anymore. Cyber groups are odd in that once someone is no longer on site, you have no idea what's happening with them. I�m lucky that some other good friends who helped me tremendously are still here often. 3galeh, Rusty, Duffis, Lolly, Ladybugg, Luna, NotPatchesAnyMore, Walkingeagle and Attaboygirl have always been here while I�ve been quit. Some like Major Dude, Penitent, and Joyfulspirit aren�t around as much now, but still take time to come in and lend a helping hand.
You quit a few months after me. I�ve noticed that if you stick around, some of your buddies will leave and than return. Christmas was like old home week for me. So many of my mentors showed up � it was great.
As far as your advice is concerned, it�s priceless. Do you remember the first few weeks? It really wasn�t so much WHAT someone said, just that they were there and took the time to respond. Your humor and encouragement have helped many on this site. Don�t worry about the content � your presence itself is very much appreciated.

Joe, you can be �master of the macho�. Queen of quitters sounds kind of uppity, so can I be a �common sense quitter with humor?� :p
QuitOrDie, Listen to Penitent: �By way of reassurance, 20 months quit today and not a craving in sight!! They have LONG GONE!!� He�s the one here with knowledge of the long run. As for me, I think it�s the attitude you take to your quit. Moan and groan because you can�t have a cigarette, and you�ll still be moanin� and groanin� months later. Be ecstatic because you don�t have to ever have a cigarette again, and you�ll still be ecstatic months later. Will you ever think about smoking again? Sure. Do you give a flip? Nope. Need to learn some new coping mechanisms? Sure. Can you do it? Well, you quit smokin� didn�t you?
You�re doing great. It�ll get better � I promise!

Hi Shevie, Great quotes. I�ve always loved the one by Winston Churchill.
