Ann, we seem to have all the same problems! We have a new june-bugs thread that is a little shorter.

This thread is very important because it points out the universality of the quitting process. It shows me that it's not because the tobacco companies are based in the U.S. that cigs are addictive, nor does it have anything to do with the culture. Not only am I not the only one, but we are not the only country! So yes, this thread is helping my quit.
Also, I think that not know ANYTHING about the people that you are being help accountable by makes it hard to be accountable to them.
However, I would like to know, are such restrictions also held to on the im?
If not, maybe we should use that more than we do.
Love,
Mama

Yes, there is no way I could have gotten even this far without them! The "old timers" are what the whole site is all about!

I totally understand. I did the exact same thing. Here are a couple of quotes I found here that have helped. If you like these, you can search under "insprational quotes" I think.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Most of the importand things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
I printed these out and keep them on my wall at work. I have quit more times than I can count and loathed myself with each failure. I have been smoking for 35 years, 2 to 3 packs a day.
Stick around with us and YOU CAN DO IT!
Love,
Mama

I still have some ashtrays in the cabinet myself, I guess we should get rid of them. Maybe that symbolizes lack of committment. I'm getting rid of them today!

Oh my goodness, you said good morning? What a horrible sin, and even worse, maybe you sounded a little cheery!
Never forget, in teenager talk, a glaring look means: I love you and I want to know if you love me and I can treat you badly and you won't reject me. Here is a test.
Sure makes you want to smoke! Maybe you have read that I am having some finance problems and I am asking my kids to do without some things. I am really committing a horrible sin and I am public enemy number one right now. I am really trying not to take it personally but because I feel so badly about the situation, I really needed thier support and not thier condemnation. this is really making me want to smoke badly because that is always how I would deal with it before, by stimulating those pleasure centers with nicotine.
I think I am going to start trying to use the im also more. There never seems to be anyone logged into it and even when there is, I think they just left it on because most of the time they don't answer or my messages are not getting though.
We will work on it. Next time you see me logged in, see if you can get me and I will see if I can get you.
Love,
Mama

Hey june-bugs,
I am feeling very bad tonight. I posted about my troubles in another forum, but I really want to smoke. I think I better go to bed soon, or I will be looking for cigs.
I hope that everyone is ok, and ann, I know that you can't post e-mail addresses, but if you can use the im, I think you can give it to her there maybe.
It is hard not being able to get to know each other better sometimes, because I really like all my June-bugs and seem to have a lot in common with a lot of you. I would like to start using the im, but there is never anyone logged on there really.
anyways, goodnight, things will probly look better in the morning.
Love,
Mama Melba
