Due to incredible demand (and thanks to an awesome supply), this program seems to be a success, so much so that the old thread was getting WAY too long, so I thought it was time to start a new one. Here's the most recent list from the old thread as to who is willing to be a mentor and who wants one. If you're on either of these two lists and feel that you don't want to be, then please post that so that we can take your name off. Mentors available: Mr Ed, Riverdale Man, Ron, Islandgirl, Chickstarr, Free, Grace,Deli, Katy, N2K, ParrotLady, Fagashlynne, Cheermom, Phil Mentors needed: Pinktexas, Wackydog, Stormy, Precious27, Misey1, Glory, Sissy, Chicknoodle, gyspsycatcat, poodle lady, simplesong, jaset, missthing1974, Dorothy Also, of course, anybody who would like a mentor or would like to BE a mentor, please post that. I have found that it seems to help the most if the people who are willing to be mentors pick somebody off the list instead of just saying "I'll be a mentor." I would hope that the older quitters would take some of the responsibility and choose somebody off the list. Here's the original post in the old thread, to keep it going: 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 a

bump. What I HATE about this forum is how quickly things go to the second page. :mad: Crave the Quit!

Windy, There are 3 "windy"'s on the IM list. Sign on so I can figure out which one is you! :) Crave the Quit!

Yep Windy! You gotta use the IM. And you're definitely not too "old" to have a mentor! Even if it's more of a "quit buddy" type relationship, somebody to talk to, about quitting AND non-quitting related topics is ALWAYS beneficial! I'm on now if you want to chat. I'm sure there are many others who would love to be your mentor as well! Take as many as you can! :) Crave the Quit!

Liz, Don't worry too much about your slip. Just get back up and get on with the quit. Be careful though, of expecting too much from ANY aid. They are just that... they are to aid to in quitting smoking... they cannot quit smoking for you. YOU still have to do the hard part... chantix, wellbutrin and all of the rest of the quit smoking products out there ONLY work if you want to quit badly enough and are willing to put in the effort. I have seen many people on here say that Chantix has helped them a lot. It might be worth it to give it a try. Now, let's get back to the quit, k? Hang in there. Crave the Quit!

Tony, Don't beat yourself up over the fact that you smoked for 20 years. You're doing something about it now, and that's what counts! NOT the amount of time that you smoked! Trust me, you do NOT have the longest smoking period on this site by any stretch of the imagination. If you go to the Hall of Fame, and click on "Hall of Fame" to go to past month winners, click on "Nan." She smoked for [b]sixty years[/b] before she quit!!! If she can quit after 60 years of smoking, you can certainly quit after 20! Yes, the IM is the only way to exchange email addresses with each other. Hopefully soon, somebody will come along and snatch you up as a mentee. Or, pick from the list above of available mentors if you see somebody on that list that maybe you've admired posts from and would like that person to be your mentor. Best wishes to you!
