IT'S ALIVE !!!!!! THIS GROUP IS ALIVE !!!!!!!!!

To answer some questions.....This Group was started by Reenie - who is no longer on this site !! I came here in June, 2008.....and quit as of July 1, 2008. This was a booming little group back then...many of the members of this group have since moved on !!! This Group has gone for MONTHS with little or no activity - - I am glad to see Claudia's enthusiasm !!! THIS was my home-base !!! THIS Group is where I first came, and met friends, and made friendships that are still alive today...and the support does not stop !!

If I could wish for the BEST way for all of you to quit - it would be with THIS group - we CAN get it going again....when you come online whether it be morning, or evening, come here first - let the group know how you are doing...discuss any problems with your quit.
All I can do is share my Experience, Strength and Hope with you......my "experience"..this group was here, and I knew each person, and counted on them for advice (and got it !!) The strength that I found here gave me something I had been looking for for many years...FREEDOM !!! How to win over the addiction....I have been on my journey now for 7 months 2 weeks, 3 days...etc. I didn't just stop smoking - - I QUIT !!!!
Let's get this group going again....I'm going to contact the other "old-timers" from this group.....let's try and give each and every one of you the opportunities WE had, as members of the Over 50's Group, OK ????

Thank you Carlie, for caring enough to try and get this group started up again because I can use this group as my home group and I can use all the help that I can get at this point you see I just went back to smoking after 11 days and I'm feeling pretty losie about myself at this point and not getting much support from the members that I thought would help me is'nt there today. I just know that I'm planning on quitting again tomarrow and I'll need all the help that I can get from others how have gone before me and I know that I need all the help that anyone can give me.

WOW!!! Thanks Carlie and Jeff, and Debbie!!! Yes, there are many of us over 50 that could use each others support. Carlie, I love the idea of checking in here everyday just to say a little something. I didn't realize this is where you had met so many of your friends, that I know some are my friends today and this is a wonderful journey that we are on. This path to freedom.
I have been quit for 1 month, 1 week, 6 days, 46 minutes, and 7 seconds.........and I sure have made some beautiful friends during this short time!!!!
Thank you so much!
