Re: Hi QS members!

We are so very sorry Robyn. It must have been a terribly difficult time for you. That may be a lesson for other smokers and your hubby must have realized how hard you were trying to help him. Some things just can't be overcome, and for him this was [more]

Re: Kez' 2-year Anniversary

Wow, Kerrianne, c'mon in! Is it really two years since you started the vaping? Holy smokes! Seems like yesterday. So that stuff actually works.

Do you envision a time when you won't need that either, or is that a type of addiction in [more]

Re: Oklahoma Tornado

I was checking Helen's address on google maps, and it looks like she is about as far North of Oklahoma City as Moore is South of the city, so perhaps she was out of the range of the storm.

I thought I had her email address, but I've lost [more]

Re: Is Your Quit Date Here?

Thank you Joan, - and thank you Shelley. The Pitti Palace it is - built in the 1400s, that's my cuppa! Walking on the same ground with centuries of footsteps - I love it!

Re: The Start of Day 2

I still think it's crazy to tell yourself it's forever. Quit for "awhile" and see how you like it.

Then see how long you can put off smoking again. This is where you have to be somewhat masochistic. - See how much you can bear [more]
