I think after recent tension recently it would be a good idea to post a thought about it!
Let's remember why we came to this forum in the first place.
We came here to get support and advice from other quitters who know exactly what we are going through.
No matter if you're 1 or 100 days into your quit we are all in the same boat and the support we get from each other is second to none.
I don't think I would ever of got this far without the help of people on this forum and for that I am grateful.
Because of that support, I have now quit smoking for almost 6 months now and I can now reassure those in the early days of their quit that 'IT DOES GET EASIER!'
No matter what method you use, I will be as supportive as much as I can.
It is unfortunate that every so often these threads get so heated and shift away from the true purpose of being on here in the first place.
We are all different and we aren't always going to agree with each other, but we need to respect each other and not let ourselves get too angry about these things.
The better person is the one who backs down and doesn't let these little things get to them.
I myself would like to draw a line right here and forget all the tension and bad feeling that has overshadowed this forum recently.
I'm no angel myself and would like to apologise if any of my posts have ever offended anyone. It's never been my intention.
Remember...... Tis the time for forgiving.
It's Christmas everybody! Lets have some happiness and fun!

I will continue to be mad with anyone who shows only selfish self centered attitudes to wards there own bigged up quits
if they are so brill then why did they not quit earlier
I am sure in my stocking this year I will be given a light bulb
patronizing fools will get nothing but contempt from me, Christmas or no Christmas
Sorry Barney
I'm not saying that I agree with it, Just that I am willing to put it behind me and start afresh.
I'm gonna draw a line now and if people continue to be selfish, patronizing, negative about quit methods or even abusive then they'll not get a 2nd chance from me.
Just trying to get this forum back to the happy place it was. Getting a bit sick of all this tension. If that means sacrificing a bit of my own pride, then so be it. If I don't do anything then this dark cloud hanging over it will never disappear.
Just thought some comments in here were digs at comments i'd made in the other thread, and I wasnt being allowed to forget it. Regardless of explaining my position and even apologising.
But ignore me if not, I do wanna draw a line under this all too. I've enjoyed posting here for a month or so and reading for the past four months. Its helped big time.
Boudees right, im sorry to say ive had a bad weekend, and when you come on here for some support or sympathy, all you need is someone saying you done it all wrong anyway. Wase of time money etc. when your feeling vunerable its enough to send you back to the cigs. Then Boudee puts them right and you think again. I dont always feel so weak, but when im not theres sure to be soneone reading it that is. Dont bow to biggots boudee mate. xxx
you are a patronizing little specimen who's wooden spoon is larger then something else you carry about on ur person, try to get over it!!!!!!!! I am sure your wife has
yes it is and if you cannot go around this forum and offer support to every one and not single out those who you think are worthy of a word or two from your self then can i suggest you go some place else where you are not playing around with vulnerable people who are trying to accomplish one of the hardest things they will ever have to go through in there lives
Don't you DARE patronize and insult me.
Every single person in this forum is vunerable, even YOU..!
Every bit of ammunition we can find to assault our common enemy is invaluable.
Anything that helps someone not to smoke today is good.
I haven't singled out anyone in this forum.
I've offered my thoughts and they've clearly helped some, as have so many others here including you.
Deriding people on this forum for their views and then belittling their quit is a sign that you've lost sight of what we're all here for.
