I'd like to talk about honesty and integrity

people come here and none of us know what shape their self esteem is in.

they make up some fake name and you'll never see a face because who they pretend to be is only a figment of their imagination. Some tend to want to make a name for themselves and will go to any lengths to do it including dishonesty in order to manipulate people to follow them.

In my opinion, if they have to manipulate people with dishonesty they don't deserve respect.

They delete peoples comments so you can't see through the production they're trying to put on..

To compound their dishonesty, they put a public statement on someone else's blog stating someone tried to put a damper on their quit.

another dishonesty, another untruth.

so if indeed there are rumors going around? Don't believe it. It's just a bullshi**ing manipulator with no name and no face. A nobody trying to be somebody and fooling many of you.

if not, i hope you enjoy the song

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
