When I came to this site, I was looking for support and encouragement to quit smoking and I was overwhelmed by the support from people like Cindy, Shill, Owl, Nancy, Connie, both Jo Jo's, Rick, Dale, Joy, Christine and many more. I stayed close to this forum and did all the recommended reading.
I wish I was one of the people who can take what they need and leave the rest, but I'm just not. I have realized that the constant telling me I am going to fail if I do as little as ask for good luck is not helpful at all. I already feel like a failure and don't need any assistance from anyone who has already decided that I would fail. I just want to get through the first week so I can utilize the long term advice everyone has given me.
Unfortunately, I am going to leave the forum but I wanted to let those that reached out to me know that I appreciate your words of encouragement and advice. I'm sure it's frustrating to have new quitters come and leave constantly. Please don't stop helping people.
