Dear members,
If anyone is having trouble when trying to "launch" the CBT buddies, you may need to try the following:

To do so, follow these steps:

* Click on the icon that says default level
How to Log Into the new CBT Buddies Instant Messenger:

How to Add Members:
1. Log into the PC.
2. Launch the CBT Quitting Buddies Instant Messenger.

If anyone continues to experience difficulties, please contact us via the feedback section.

What I find is if I think I won't have more then 5-10 minutes on the site I shy away from opening the CBT buddies thing because I would feel bad saying: Oh yeah hi! I only have five minutes though... And since I am on often but most likely in short spurts throughout the day (because of my schedule) I find myself opening the CBT buddies less and less... I will try to be on it more, but if I can only stay on a few minutes, do not take it personally please I just have funny schedules sometimes. But feel free to add me to buddies anyway. I agree that chatting more could be good for all of us here :)

Hi Everyone,
Im pretty new to this forum. I've logged on several times myself and although at any given time there can be a few hundred people browsing, I never really see anyone logged in to chat. Perhaps a time can be set where people log in and meet? I propose anytime between 7 and 10pm eastern time? I dont know how else to arrange something like this, but it would be nice to talk you all. Any other ideas?
Best Wishes.
I have the same experience with no one ever being on I think setting up a time is a great ideal. once or twice a week. or every night but do it at the same time so everyone would know...Good Ideal Feel free to add me to your buddy list anyone.....
