I am happy to come up with a list of would be 'Mentors' and 'Mentees' (if there were such a word). Then perhaps match people up on the basis of what time of day they might be available. The idea is that perhaps people like me who've been here for a while can give the benefit of their experience to a newer quitter. We all know that there are no easy answers to quitting, but I really think that that this has helped in the past! Again, keeping this alive for a bit more feedback.. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 722 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 21,660 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �5,415.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 117 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 26

I'd be very appreciative of the help a more 'seasoned' person could offer!

I think that would be awesome, because as a newbie I can say, that kind of help is often needed!

Sounds good to me. I'm at work Monday to Friday, so some days my time is limited. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for us newbies, and I hope others will take advantage of your kindness and support. Thanks Mr. Ed!
