Thanks FreeToBeMe and John! It's funny but when I first quit there was this feeling that somehow a cigarette would jump in my mouth or I'd end up smoking one without knowing how it got there - blowing my quit without the chance to say "no" to the cigarette. John I think I will hang out here to encourage more people as that had been my plan all along but I got very discouraged not being about to figure out my username/password until recently.

I did want to note that just because someone turns gold, does not mean they don't employ the tactics learned on this site. Just this morning I had a thought pop in my head about how a certain someone has never congratulated me on my quit and it made me angry inside. But then I remembered a post I had read from Joel that stated that my "smoking buddies" do not want to see me quit or be successful. So just that one thing I read two years ago helped me with a feeling I had this morning. This is truly a wonderful site!

Peace everyone.
