A Genuine Concern


17 years ago 0 2534 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
One thing has been bothering me for some time here and I am afraid that it may frighten prospective quitters to a degree that they feel marginalised and vanish from the site before they can establish themselves. That would be sad. I am not sure that exclusive groups are a good thing. Now I know that they are NOT exclusive but to a new member, I bet they look that way. 50-99 day clubs, monthly quit groups, the 100 day beach, and VIP club at a year? I know that some enjoy these clubs and that is fair enough, I just worry about new quitters who may be deterred by the cliquey nature of such groups. I hope I'm wrong butI may not be. I needed to air that view. Penitent d729

Mr Ed, BFS has eyes like a hawk!(Thanks Pam) You are correct, it is indeed 2 years tomorrow and I remember my 100 days on 26th August 2004 like it was yesterday. Good luck with your quit and my premature congratulations to you on obtaining permission to go to the beach next Wednesday! Penitent d729

Rocmog, I certainly won't consider myself wrong otherwise it would have been pointless starting this thread in the first place but ask any question you like of me and I will be only too pleased to help you out a bit; I feel that I have learnt quite a lot by studying old postings and contributing a few myself in the 2 years I have been here at the site. Congratulations on you decision to quit and good luck. Penitent d730 P.S. Hey diligent N2k, how are you? Great retrieval of the "Memory Lane" thread from last year, I guess if nothing else, I'm consistent! � thanks and so glad you are still going strong! All The Best Pen d730
