Give and get support around quitting

PLEASE stop arguing!

I want to thank everyone who has posted to my blogs. I am concerned, though, that there are a lot of opinions that are spinning out of control. Please remember that we all need to try to support each other. One person’s opinion may not be another’s. We can agree to disagree. Shouldn't we be positive here and help others with our accomplishments rather than become negative and pessimistic? All comments are welcome to my blogs. The wonderful thing about being an individual is just because you read it doesn't mean you have to believe it. You have your our mind, your own soul, your own treatment. My mother always taught me that everyone has their own opinions and if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. I continue to live by those words. This is a wonderful website and I hope that feelings don't get hurt here, but the chain of love in support spreads. Thank you for listening.

I have been cigarette free for 2 Days, 18 hours, 22 minutes and 32 seconds (2 days). I have saved $9.26 by not smoking 55 cigarettes. I have saved 4 hours and 35 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 6/22/2008 2:27 PM

YEA ME 🙂

You know it is kind of hard to know what to do sometimes. Ignoring one negative or "shaming" post is easy- ignoring lots of them is something else. Ignoring does not make it go away- almost the opposite occurs. Seeing a repeat pattern of negative postings makes you feel like you need to address it in SOME way (without trying to add to the negativity). I have found that making repeated statements like "everyone is different" really just increases the negative posters FERVOR. The post gets "hijacked" and turns into an unintentional discourse about quitting methods.........What to do? Really. What should the community do about this?
