A
place to uplift and encourage.....scattering seeds of kindness sprinkled with fun!
~~~
Clip it out,
laminate it with the packing tape, and tape it on or put it in your wallet. Presto! instant support - quitting without the
nicotine, without the fear, without the loneliness!
Honestly, you guys, whenever that demon tries to lure me
into my old ways of habit, i think of y'all - and woooosh - my thinking does a 180 degree turn (ok. sometimes more - ok, stop
the spinning now - i'm getting dizzy).
Really - just knowing you are there with hugs & laughter & support
& cookies & ideas & feed bags & all that you are and are becoming...i'm blessed to be part of this little
group!

From
profile:
'My words of advise for a successful quit are:
- pick your tools and carry them with you everywhere,
- find some buddies you can connect with,
- read others journal entries and profiles - inspiration is
out there.....
- keep yourself busy and most importantly: BE POSITIVE!
- Positive thoughts lead to positive
actions lead to positive reactions.... but whatever works for you. Find it and hold it close - everyday

GENERAL
CONSENSUS:
What has been observed ~~> Why this club is successful:
- genuine love and
concern for each other
- sharing and celebrating each and every milestone (whether related to smoking or not)
-
that extra hug so easily shared
- humor
- morning pledges
- being supportive in times of need even
if words are not spoken (the bond of friendship supercedes the need for a cigarette)
- non-judgemental attitude and
tolerance
- positive reinforcement instead of negative feedback

Being online with friends and knowing someone will always be there if you need a
hand!

~~~~~~~~The
Lighter Side of Recovery~~~~~~~~~
THE MATCH:
(for the competitive spirit)
An
old man and his wife have gone to bed. After laying in bed for a few minutes the old man lets out a loud fart and says "one-nil."
His wife rolls over and asks, "What in the world was that?"
The old man says, "A goal. I'm ahead
one-nil."
A few minutes later the wife lets one go and says, "Goal! One all." The old boy farts again. "Goal!
I'm ahead 2-1."
Now starting to get into this the wife quickly farts again and says, "Goal! 2 all."
The
old man tries to fart again, but cannot. Trying desperately not be out done by his wife, he gives it everything he has to
get out just one more fart. He strains a little too hard and ****s in the bed. The wife asks, "Now what in the world was that?"
The old man replies, "Half-time, switch sides!"
