Hi All,
I've not been active in the online smoke free places for many reasons lately, so I thought it only polite to re-introduce myself. I don't know how many of you remember me, I never did post a lot.
Life has been tough. I've had to deal with redundancy, and that wasn't easy with 2 kids to support and being the only earner. House moves and relationship troubles. Family illnesses and what not too. A whole list of really good excuses to start smoking again.

But you know what? I'm still quit and still delighted with that. Coming up on 4 years in a couple of months.

Life is what you make it, no matter what troubles there are, and smoking doesn't fix a single problem - does it?

Glad to hear it Stu.

I hope things have settled down for you, but yep you are right smoking is never the solution its only ever part of the problem. No need to fall into the trap of thinking it would help you get through a bad situation.

As I approach my 4 years this place came into my mind too, I'm glad to see it still here and I remember how the tales helped me tremendously while finding my quit.

i remember you, stuart - you used to ride your bike unusually long distances, as i recall. sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing, but very glad to hear how you're dealing with them (and how you're not). keep it going!

and hi, nic! good to see you poke your head in, too! congratulations on nearly 4 years of freedom!

and hi, essie! always nice to see you! Smile

btw: stuart and nic: if you're on facebook, send me a friend invite (https://www.facebook.com/kevin.j.foster) and i'll add you to the "woof" secret group that kay ("CowgirlUp!") started there...

Good to see you again, Marg and to learn that you've re-started your life as a non-smoker. You've been free for 4 or 5 months now. Bet you're feeling wonderful. Keep it goin'!
