Just a post on my new laptop to celebrate hitting my 6 month mark. SWEET!!! I like a lot of us am amazed I've made it so far, one day I had a thought..... why not try it again. As I look back I'm not sure if I really meant it. I wanted to but some where in the back of my mind I'm sure I was thinking I'll do my best and if I don't make it at least I tried. I then found this site and at some point my attitude changed. I don't know when and like I said I was trying and expected to fail. Something about communicating with people in the same situation as you really helps, not some doctor being paid to listen or a friend trying to help but a real person that knows your pain and what you are going through. I'm just very happy to be here and very happy to have friends and people that understand here. It gives me the edge I need to keep this stuff up.
Thanks guys

Was this new laptop bought with your savings from stopping smoking? seems a great treat to me if it is and well worth the investment.
Whats lovely about your post though is how you've turned around your way of thinking re: quitting, going from doubt to confidence and determination. You are right about the support on a forum helping alot, its always great to be among folk doing the same thing as yourself and also that they just understand.
Its helped me i reckon this time around, i was confident and determined anyway, but the forum i think just cemented it all.
Bev- Have not done the night out yet, still plan to just haven't had the right opportunity.
Jase-nope not with the savings LOL. Saw a good deal on new egg with no interest for for 12 months on NewEgg. Decided to use the excuse that I deserved it fir making it 6 months so here I am LOL.
Marg- You must have a room full of those graphic's just waiting to get put up. Thanks hun.
