I noticed your implied profanity (A$$ and WTF) on https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ashley_cortimilia-blog/2014/12/23/are-surveys-received-on-t.... While this person is abusive and their comments untrue, please take the high road in the future and don't reply with abusive language, direct or implied. Normally I would edit things like this to be community appropriate however there isn't an edit button on comments so I wanted to be sure you saw it before you or I deleted it. I don't like to delete things but the limited capabilities of the current community platform will force me to do so in certain situations. 

I Terrie recieved this in a series of back and forth conversations,last week in PM's This will probably get censored pretty quick and mean certain eviction from  the site for me! But look, I am sick of all this! Several of us have been told to delete things since this!

I am very sorry that many have felt left out of the loop! THIS IS THE ELEPHANT!

I am sorry if I have offended anyone! But I feel that too many feel left out, So here it is!

Can we please get on with the business of helping each other quit smoking and stay quit! and let's be welcoming to any one new here, as we have always been! 

I love EX! You guyes saved my life and my only intent ever was to help others and I hope that I can continue to do EXactly that in the future!

Sincerely, Terrie     216 days of smoke freedom!

I Won't Quit on my Quit!

I know that I was not the only one affected by this and I hope it answers your questions!  It is not intended to offend any one!

Hello, I am a 59 year old female, name Terrie, still growing up. I have moderate COPD. I am an oxygen patient, currently not in need of the 24/7 or night time oxygen. Thanks to all the great support and education I got here on EX. My original quit date was 07/06/15 on day 519 I relapsed and started over in less than 24 hours. I want to go to the great beyond being a former smoker and I shall! COPD is not choosy! and not pretty! May 1rst, 2017 I am using Dale's suggestion to put off a cigarette each time and I am down from 50 to 20. I am looking forward to my old(7-6-2015)/new quit date 7-6-2017 May 4th, 2017 I started with Marlboro reds. Nicotine is a very assinine addiction. Once addicted I found I would smoke any of it including the little cigar/cigarettes, and it's still true since I threw away my quit and stopped being true to myself. I will smoke ANYTHING with nicotine in it to get the fix. I hate smoking! I am not having a problem stopping it's staying stopped, that I am not doing! I do not buy anything but regular tobacco but if caught without it I will do anything except vape to get the fix. UPDATE POSTED 04/24/2018: Getting ready to set a quit date and begin again :)
