[quote] Not all quits are horrendously difficult. As Healer says, some of us quit in the easy and gentle fashion. [/quote] Quite right too! :) Unfortunately, a recent post from Healer about the "lighter side of quitting" was removed, which in my opinion, was rather unfair. There's nothing wrong with being positive, and certainly nothing wrong in telling the story from the "other side".....even if it does cause a little 'upset' sometimes.

Bumping for new quitters. Not all quits are horrendously difficult. As Healer says, some of us quit in the easy and gentle fashion. This could be you too. Good Luck Penitent d845

Marvellous Cobenfan, thank you. And there folks you have it in 17 words "We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the SAME". One chose not to smoke and I commend you for that. Likewise, one should now choose to be happy. If you cannot do that because you are suffering from clinical depression, then you should probably spend a little more time on the other support site or consult your doctor. I'll leave you all with another quote which has helped me:- "If you want to be happy, be." Think about it. A Cheerful, positive and very contented Penitent on day 848 without a cigarette.

We are all well aware that some quits prove difficult; there are certainly enough threads here in support of that; and I for one acknowledge that fact. The main focus of this thread is balance, particularly for the new quitters. There are some here like myself who have had a much calmer and easier quit and we feel that it is important that anyone coming to this site for the first time is aware of that possibility too. All quits are different and we want everybody to succeed in kicking the nicotine habit. To do that, I believe that the more information there is available, the better the chances for everyone. So whilst quitting may be difficult for some, it might be relatively easy for others. My sincere best wishes to you, Penitent d849
