I just wanted to say a huge thank you to this site, and all of the lovely members who really have made a difference. Esp in my early days, you helped me to stay quit. Thank you.
I have learnt so much from this site. I know i am still at early days and to never take my quit for granted. I would not have known that without this site.
You have given me a gift - and for that i am truly grateful. Even better than that. I work with homeless people, including under 18s - and so far, 2 people have quit as well.
Also, my daughter is now at day 5 today. I still do not know whether she will make it this time, but i believe in her. Thanks to this site,. I learnt HOW to support her best. Not to judge - not to give advice, but simply to understand. When she said the other day (end of day 3) I cant cope I am too stressed to do it right now - I cant think straight, i feel more normal when I smoke. I cant remember anything. I could say - thats ok, its because your brain was full up with carbon monoxide, now oxygen is getting to your brain for the first time in years. I told her to take one day at a time. Always say, not today but i can smoke tomorrow if i want to. She is 17 year old and smoked from age 14 (although not in front of me, or with my consent). (hence my first quit 3 years ago - when i found out that she was smoking)....
Thanks to this site. I can really be an example. I can really help. I have learnt so much. I will always visit this site, and always be grateful for the quality of life you have helped to provide for me - and my daughter and 2 other homeless young people.... it will go on.
I am so grateful and wanted to say a huge thank you! To this site and all of the wonderful members who take the time to help. There are a lot of people i remember so well from my early days that made a difference. I would write their names, but wont for fear of leaving anyone out.
I go to Cyprus this weekend. Returning 2.5 weeks time. I think this time I really have kicked it. yes I did it - but it was possible because of the support of you.
Thank you!
