Well,  I had a feeling. I hope you don't mind that I grabbed you on your first post.
I will certainly respect your desire for an anonymous new beginning. 
Please do not hesitate to yell anytime.  
  It has been one heck of a ride Grammy but it can be done.  My roughest time came a few months in when I least expected it.
 I went in to a bout with depression and had about a month of some really hard going.  but that is sorting itself out slowly but surely.
I am not able to get here sometimes for a few days in a row because of internet access but please know you will be in my thoughts and  I will check in with you
 as often as I can get here.  I am glad today is one of those days I have access.
 
WELCOME

Moss - I'm pretty sure that was me.  I came back today and saw that you were still here and that you made it.  I didn't.  But I am here to try again and I'm so very proud and happy for you that you have been smokefree all this time.   Wish me luck

Hi Grammy
 
I quit last November and there was someone who I felt close to that disappeared.  i still think about her.
 In my mind, I don't think not making it is anything to be ashamed of.  This is difficult enough without the added burden of shame and guilt.
but I do know what you mean.  In the past I have certainly been disappointed with myself for not sticking it out.
 I still just try not to smoke each day.  I know it is a long shot but just in case you are my lost friend, or not, a special welcome back.
 
Stay close and be kind to yourself.  Just holler if you need help.   We are Velcro friendly.

I have actually been here before - last November in fact - under a different name.  I was so ashamed when I couldn't stop that I just left and continued to smoke.  I'm back now.  My doctor has put me on  Champix and it is my quit date tomorrow.  I can't tell you how much I want this to work but I am so afraid to fail again,  I look at the stats of the people posting and wonder if I will even see a 1 day there.  I know
the encouragement I got last time was a big boost, so I'm going to stick to you guys like velcro this time!
