What are you talking about?

"Besides having my posts take a

that is the problem. with most news servers and most of the time
google the posts are posted almost instantly. To me this was important
as it has saved me many quits. If I had a rough time I posted a SOS
and withing minutes I had the support I needed and by the time I read
the response the urge to smoke was gone. :)I know other quitters
sometimes posted a request to chat either just to chat or they needed
help and who ever was around at that time would go in the chat room.

Totally agree sweet PB. It wasthe immediacy of the postingand the
knowledge that help was on the way that has saved me more than one
time.
You know if it is urgent to call me.
So proud of you PB. Your stalwart commitment to this quit has been
the great success story for me this summer and fall. Remember when we
were going through whether to quit on the appointed quit day or the
day a couple weeks earlier? We went through all those pros and cons.
And then through the explosion and the hotel and reorienting
yourself. And you GOT and have STAYED smoke-free. How happy that
makes me! Love Stephanie

PS Look who's gonna be a DOF really soon! What do we do to celebrate
DOF? Do we reheat the hottub water? Is this the blood oath
ceremony? Just need to know what is upcoming..... :-)

One year, eleven months, three weeks, one day, 1 hour, 40 minutes and
5 seconds ago I made a Decision. That Decision means I have not smoked
7220 cigarettes, saving $2,707.60, not to mention 3 weeks, 4 days, 1
hour, 40 minutes of my Life.
