Mc,
Do you remember when you first came here? For me, when I first joined the site, there were SOOOOOOOO many quitters that I didn't think I'd ever get the names straight!! And then I'd see people post things using members' real names when they didn't post their real names... they just knew them and I thought "I'll NEVER be able to do that!!! I can't remember names in real life! How will I remember names of people here?!?!?!?" And yet, I do. As do you. When we first joined, it seemed to overwhelming, but we got to know the people here and they became our friends. Sure, they're our friends that we've never met, but they are still our friends... some closer than others. But the point is that if you could do it once, when you joined the site, then you can do it again now too. Don't get discouraged because there are so many new names here... think of it as an opportunity to meet new friends. And don't feel as though all of the old names that you grew to know and love that are slowly vanishing are leaving because they started smoking again... most likely, they are becomming comfortable enough in their quits that they don't have to rely on this site 24/7 the way we did when we first came here. So both of these things are actually really really good. I hope you can see it that way.
Crave the Quit!
