An Apology to All from Yesquit

Dear BecomeAnEx Members,

I am new, started the end of July. It took me a few days to leartn how to work this site.So if you've been reading my posts - you'll see apologies from me. The reason I had apologized on the blog was I had sent messages to a few (not many members) hoping that they would write me back to support my quit smoking goal.

When I would check my BecomAnEx messages, I noticed that I wasn't getting any return messages. For those of you who may have gotten messages from me, you wil see it would have only been about smoking.

THEN, I learned by trial and error that if I wrote on the blog, members would respond to me from there and I could see their messages by pressing comments. I just recently discoverd that I can re read those same mesages on my personal email, but can't respond from that email.

It is so unfortunate if people take such a good thing and try to make a bad thing out of it. I am glad that I now know the appropriate way to send messages to members. Everyone has a level of privacy they try to maintain in their lives.

yes, you see the messages in your personal email but you can only respond from the site.

I too found all the different places for messages abit confusing, so don't feel bad.  Glad you figured things out.  Best of luck on your journey.  Today is day 7 for me.

There is also what we call stie mail. It shows up in your Inbox and messages there are private - only between you and the writter. It is bad form to copy and paste anything in one of those private messages (also called pm's) to another or on a blog. That's why it is private!

Once you get the hang of if here, this site and all the active members can be such a help to you. Stick close to the blogs! See you around!

Oh by the way - Yes you can!!!

I found the site a bit confusing too. Now I have learned, sign in, go to community at top, click it then go to my page, click it, then look on left side 🙂

It IS a bit confusing at first but don't ever feel embarrassed to ask or make a mistake.  All of us, having been new ourslves, understand.
