Where are you?

[JACKIE1-25-15]

We haven't heard from you in awhile.

We miss your voice, your comments, and smile. 

We're not sure what went wrong.

All we know is you are gone

Hope we didn't run you away.

We want to know if you're okay. 

So just say hello

So we will know. 

Are you where you want to be?

Are you living your life smoke-free? 

No need to fear

No judgement here

Just drop us a note if you need some help

If you're having a problem just give us a yelp. 

We are here with lots of support to give. 

We want you to have freedom and live. 

Don't wait too late,

Come set a new date.

So say hello and come on back.

We're here to help you get on track.

With outstretched arms and sincere hearts

We can help but you have to do your part

It's up to you, we can't make you quit

We want you to stop the death's clock tick

I should check back in more often. I am getting old (turned 65 last month, and felt like this past year I was kind of exhausted by the general state of the world). I think of you guys often, and sometimes pop by to read blogs without signing in to comment. Maybe things will start to settle down this year, and I will find more energy to put effort into more this coming year.

Always a pleasure to hear from you.

Been having a rough patch. I’m back! Have to stop for health reasons!!! Been smoking about 3-4 cigs per day. Today is my quit day! Wearing a patch and ready to go!

@jlp5564 How are things going today?

[jlp5564]

Great! Had to restart on March 22. So, today I completed four days. Hasn’t been too rough. 
Thanks for checking in. 

[jlp5564]

I have restarted so many times…. Ugh

[jlp5564]

Lovely poem and invitation. I have tried so many times. I need help and support. Also, I’m really clueless as to how to navigate this website. Thanks!

I'm so glad that you are here with all of us here at Ex @jlp5564 We're here for you and we're rooting you on You've got this believe it deep breaths and believe in yourself because we believe in you, I'm terrible at trying to explain anything tech!

@jlp5564 

You can get to most things you want to do initially from the Homepage.  You get to "Home" from right under the Ex banner (upper left).  You might post a blog from there to introduce yourself to the community so you might engage with others here.  You might include your quit date, why you want to quit, if you have chosen to use a quit aid, and anything else you care to share.  You can also take the Daily Pledge from Home.

Wondering how you are doing?

Welcome back  @jlp5564 You've already responded so you're well on your way to using the site.

Many of us have multiple quits.   What made the difference for my was understanding this addiction, having a plan, using the right aids and having support.   I never did these things in the past.  I'd pick an aid and a date and didn't really understand the process of quitting.  Be willing to do the work and you'll be a success.

We're here for you, so just reach out.
