Hey Cristina!
 
      I am so happy that you bumped this one forward!  It's been a long time since I read this and I think that it will be a very helpful read for some of our new quit buddies!!!  Thank you again, too, Nonic!!!

If you are in the first month of your quit, you are inevitably in search of your inner self, for answers, reasons, insight, or in some cases, a place to escape from the nicodemon's attacks.
 
It is well worth your time to search out postings by "nonic". 
 
Insightful reading to open your mind.
 
Enjoy your journey,
 
Dave

Hey Jim:
 
Glad to see that you have come so far in your quest...6 months is a good bit of time in many ways than mere ticks on a calendar.  This addiction is a difficult one and it can be very difficult to find the right path...Stay well...

     Thanks for the post, buddy!!

Hey ho, wouldja looky who's given us another "AAA" post!   Nonic you're a sage, without whom this journey would have been so much longer and darker for so many.  More words that cut to the core of the whole ball of wax.  Old friends - enjoy another ponderance for the day.  New friends, search the archives for more, this stuff is pure gold.

Good to hear from you, Nonic.  I thought you might have fallen asleep deep in some arcane archive devoted to Pascallian musings.  Missed your De Profundis-es!!

Hi nonic
 
I checked in a couple days ago and found some words from todash and today, walah, there you are.  I always look to see if you've shared your thoughts when I spend time here. 
 
Another great message and full of inspiration and insight.   I want you to know how much you have helped me along in this experience.  Some times I still don't feel out of the woods but as the days and weeks go by it feels a bit easier to stay on the trail.  Thanks so much for stopping by and for the words of wisdom. 
 
Gratitude
 
Moss

Thank you.  It is very nice to come back here every now and again.  Without this site, I would no doubt still be a dyed in the wool smokin man.  It is a wonderful resource for all us who have managed to get tangled up in the addiction...Hope all is well...
