~~The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you.  Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision.  So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.~~  Unknown

It's true that by reading posts here, you can gain insight, knowledge, and wisdom about quitting.  Over 6 years quit and I still come and read....a lot!!

But you also have a voice.  A story.  So write.  Talk.  Share your wisdom.  Share your vision.  Share your dance.

You may think that you don't have the words.  You may think that your voice doesn't matter.  You may even think that you have nothing to say.

Let me reply gently.  Nonsense.  Of course you have something to say.  Of course your voice matters.  Of course your story is important.  YOU are important.

How's your quit going?  What are you doing that helps?  What have you found out about quitting that might help someone else?  What have you found out about yourself? 

You are not just one in thousands of quitters here.  Not a face in the crowd.  You are a stand-out!  You are unique.  You are that one voice...that one story...that one in a million, extraordinary miracle we need in the world. 

Some of you may never post your story.  That's ok.  The point is to quit smoking and if you are quit, I applaud you!! 

I'd also be totally interested in hearing your story.  I'd be thrilled to read about your quit journey.  And you know what?  There may be someone who benefits from your words.  Someone who needs to hear that they 'can'.  Someone who finds comfort in YOUR words.  Someone who heals because of your voice.  Someone who learns to dance because of your post.

You don't have to comment here....but maybe you can post of a blog?  Maybe you want to comment on others, first, before you venture out into the posting world? 

No one in the world has what you have....your experiences, your feelings, your vision, your life.  How wonderful that you have a chance to shine your light here!!  I hope you can...I hope you will.
