Hello Vanessa, and Welcome!!!
Glad to see you here. I'm an FFS defector myself. Always glad to have more of us around. Check it out, it's a great place to hang. "The Tales" that Kevin has posted in regards to his own quit and experiences is a really wonderful thing to read. Inspirational and informational.
Be well, and welcome!!

I'm a new kid on the block here too. I was having some big problems with FFS message boards before they made whatever changes they made... but I find this much easier, and much more friendly.
Look forward to getting to know you more
Glad you are here.
God Bless

Hi Vanessa~~~
It's Ri paul. Glad to "see" you. I hope all is well with you.
Are you still a quitter? Of course you are!! And your parents? Are they still quitters too?
Glad to see you. I keep checking in over at FFS but continue to have posting problems.

A few of you asked for an update about my parent's success/defeat. Well Dad is doing really well still. He is empowered by his quit. I, as you all know, have moved onto other issues like weight control/exercise, etc. Smoking, or the lack of, doesn't even really enter my mind all that much anymore. I know that it could creep up and really hit me square in the knees but for now I am doing good. Mom unfortunately relapsed several days ago and was really really having a horrible time. My only consolation is that she does realize that she needs to see a DR for her severe depression (she blamed this on her quit but that if she smoked she would be better). Well she did smoke and she wasn't better. She's recognized this and will commit to trying again after seeing a DR and/or counselor. Thanks for asking. Everyone is looking REAL good....Keep it up!! _________________

Hi Vanessa hon, I'm so glad you joined us! I'm still posting at FFS as often as I am patient enough to deal with it to help newbies, but I come here to take care of me! Kevin's writings are very insightful and I love the feel of the boards here. I hope it is good for you, too, hon.
