First,

Let me tell you all how wonderful I think/know you all are! Thanks for all of your support! I appreciate you all!

Second, 

Please know that I did not mean to cause all of the upset that I did! This was not an isolated incident, it has been going on for awhile. (since we moved) My posts getting changed and moved in combination with me having a hard time understanding what is going on! The move was hard on many of us, older and maybe a little set in our ways (well, I should only speak for myself). I have tried as hard as possible to understand. Somethings are thought to be a burden to me are not! I have enjoyed posting a daily promise daily and now, to my understanding, you may find them incorporated into the daily pledge and not in a daily blog. This took away some of my purpose and I was angry and crying! So, I acted out! I am so sorry!

Third,

I am staying and will do my best to get with the program! The only reason I was so worried about those daily promises, not only did they give me purpose, many of you liked them and asked me to blog them daily and not keep them hidden in the pledge, like it used to be, where no one ever read them!

I Love you all! and again, Thank-you for all of your effort in getting me to stay, IT WORKED!  ~Terrie~

Stay Strong and Don't Quit on your Quit!

My friend, I'm so glad you are sticking around...Losing you would be a HUGE blow to this community and to me personally.  I am trying to learn the new forum as well and I think it will take a little bit more time and effort for me but what matters is that we keep our strong commitment and support to each other here and that is what makes me feel good about being here and belonging here.  Love you, Terrie!     CP, your quit buddy

I look around EX and see so much of you, Terrie. Glad you are sticking around. We all have bad days, and this change has been tough. It's a good platform, though, and we will find a way to work it, guaranteed. In the meantime,

shake it off, baby

The more often you come here and nose around Rox.j1962 and click the easier it will become. I promise, it takes time, just like quitting, the longer you do it the easier it gets! Maybe this will help. /blogs/ShawnP-blog/2017/01/28/welcome-to-our-community?sr=search&searchId=f6952934-5e5c-485f-b143-3b... btw it's good to see you!  ~Terrie~

About the Author
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 :)
