Day Sixteen. Thanks for your help.

[Fags1]

Some bloke called Bill sang through my letter box this morning..........

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.

But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.

Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend.

I'll help you carry on,

for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need

somebody to lean on.

Please swallow your pride, if you have things you need to borrow.

For no one can fill those needs that you won't let show.

You just call on me brother when you need a hand.

We all need somebody to lean on.

I just might have a problem that you'll understand.

We all need somebody to lean on.

Lean on me when you't not strong, and I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna' need somebody to lean on. You just call on me brother if you need a hand.

We all need somebody to lean on.

I just might have a problem that you'll understand.

We all need somebody to lean on.

If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry.

I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me.

...............................................................................................

I know it's a bit sentimental, but I listened to this song and made connections between my "stop smoking journey" and how all you dudes had been someone to lean on.

Have a happy day,

Love strength and perseverance.

Hiya Pants, we're all happy to be here to help you along your way and it's lovely to know that you're appreciated. It works both ways and you always give us something to smile or laugh about as well. Hope each day is getting better for you.

Hello Fags, the lyrics are great. Thanku for posting...

This is my third attempt at giving up smoking, I'm on day three! First attempt gave up for nine months, I curse that night out in Brighton when I succumbed, one ciggie my downfall!! Second attempted 12 months ago half hearted, but this time I really want to beat it. Quite A life changing experience after 22 years of rollies!! First time I gave up I found this NHS helpline message board whereby thoughts and experiences were posted. Clearly computers have moved on in the last few years as that message board seems to have been replaced with this sophisticated site - is it called a chat room??

Anyway day three, two emotional outbursts of tears at work, (very unlike me) starvation as paranoid about putting on weight, dreadful run but hanging in there.....

PLEASE keep posting those sentimental words, actually they mean a lot and help xxxx

Hiya Bella and welcome to our lovely community. Yep, this is the place to be for any help and advice from people who have been there.

I think this might get a bit confusing as you've been allocated the same picture as me.

Are you sure it wasn't Fags that led you astray in Brighton that fateful night?

Come and join in the daily chat to stay focussed, Andi

The support shared between you all is fab and the way you entertain each other with all your antics, blogs, messages and words of advice is amazing.

You all rock
