Still here....

Hi Everyone, still here. Wish I could say strong at it, but life isn't always so well laid out now is it..?
The stresssssss!!!!!
The bad news, my fave Uncle has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Another friend with MS and is having issues.
And I read here, Eric, mate... What can I say? Fight and be strong, make the most of what you can and strive for better, I really don't know where that leaves you but I have been told you can fight for improvement. I've been told their is some great benefit in swimming and cycling?
Bebo, be strong. Keep coming back at it with a fight. Non of us here have been out and out succesful first time. It's not the slip ups that count it's always giving Quitting another go.
The good news, 51 days today, I haven't given in, but mood and stress reminds me that I could sometimes.
Tiger, I'm still here, and Rocky AWESOME, kathyrose hi and fantastic keep up the great work!
It's funny how I seem to know some of you and think of what you might be up to, the quit experience I guess gives us a very easily understood and recognisable common ground to stand on.
I feel a bit guilty that I have done so well and feel so good, especially when I see others with health issues and other problems. Pretty much seems nuts that I can run, jump and bounce like a kid, when I have done my fair share of self demolition, especially with food and smokes in the past.
I suppose some of the things I have learnt is it's never too late to grab what you got and make the most of it. Also that we need to learn from others. There are words of wisdom, here on this site, and from life in general that we really ought to be lending our ears to at times.
Keeping me on track at the moment is work. Lots of it. Acknowledging others and their advice. And hoping to help others where and if I can.
If I have the energy I guess I will do something with it. BTW, I have contacted the ICANQUIT people and am looking forward to a response on growing the website. Still reckon an IM feature or one to one messaging service would be great for some fellow quitter support.
Have fun and fight strong everyone.

Hey Firegod, well done man, and I'm with you all the way with the IM feature and chatting support, i know this site has helped me immensely, reporting in from time to time and being able to offer support for each other, in my view beats any form of champix or patches!

Hey Firegod well done, Yes stress is always a tester!! I was right in the vacinity of the fires in the blue mtns this week and found myself biting my nails thinking omg I love a smoke wilst waiting to see if it would "blow up" but got through it and am pleased! I gues none of us are out of the woods with our health but atleast you have given your body the best chance! Have to say thankyou so much for all the inspiration I have gained from reading your comments and let you know that I have realised the main thing that has kept me from faultering is having to tell you lot "MY QUITTING BUDDIES", I know my family would have been dissapointed but to tell the load of you who are struggling as well would have been far worse so I have read your posts and 39 days not smoked! Thankyou and well done!!
