Based on Mr. Ed's wonderful idea, I am starting a thread for anyone who would like a mentor. If you are a new quitter, or perhaps a midterm quitter who is still struggling and would find benefit with having a more experienced quitter to help you along, please post here and hopefully at least one older quitter will post in response to you and the match can be made. If you have any preference as to the type of older quitter you are looking for, such as somebody who is your similar age or gender, then post that too. Of course, anyone can help anyone, but if you have preferences, then we can all try to accomodate that. The best way then to match up is to use the SSC Messenger, since we can't post our email addresses here, so if you haven't yet downloaded the messenger, try to do that so that we can assist you. If you can't get the messenger to work, then we will have to try to find another way to get you matched up or try to get you help with downloading it, but please at least try to download it first so you can talk with your mentor there and then share email and/or messenger IDs.
Mr. Ed, I hope I am not stepping on your toes here, but I think you had a great idea and I would love to see it implemented. I will try to bump this thread every so often so new members constantly have the opportunity to get matched up with an older quitter, but if I happen to forget, I would love for somebody else to pick up the slack if I forget. I think this will be a wonderful program and will help many people!
Crave the Quit!
Pam
