I'm doing the NML segment for Sarah this week. So without further ado here is her beautifully selected words.
One of the many changes you will go through in NML is the shift from asking for help to giving help. You will find yourself commenting on the blog of someone newer than you, giving them hope and advice, cheering them on. This is an exciting shift, but also a strange one-- you may feel you're not qualified to help someone else, maybe because you feel so "new" yourself.
Quitting smoking is a journey, not an event. Although we each take a slightly different path, everyone who succeeds ends up in the same place-happily smoke-free. But quitting isn't easy, and virtually no one's quit is problem-free. So hang in there. Before you know it, you'll be giving advice instead of asking for it, and helping that next generation of new quitters as they start their journey. That's how we pay it forward.
Let's hear from everyone in NML-have you experienced this yet? Have you helped a newer quitter? How did it feel?
