hello. i've been struggling with my quit now well, officiall for years, but most recently, for a year.

that is, i quit for 3 months last year, then relapsed, then quit again in december, during which i have had a really hard time. im just thinking my process is really fucking long and tortuous or something.

anyway, im sort of an old hand with issues. but i don't really mind my process as long as i get where i'm going. too many purist quitting ideas out there... the shit takes practice....

but i do know of some other online resources.

there's this place called Quit Net that has chat 24/7 and folks from all over the world. mostly G8 countries. its at www.quitnet.com. they celebrate anniversaries with you - like "hell week" and "heck week" and etc.... they have a lot of information and little forums too.

also, im part of this other spot thats a board fulla renegades from quitnet - a bunch of ex-smokers who talk about stuff besides quitting. all kinds of stuff. photography, sex, politics, whatever. p207.ezboard.com/btheemptyroom its a forum with chat where you can post images and stuff rants and raves journal stuff, whatever. you have to do a free registration to post but you can look first either way...

keep up the really fucking hard work! i'll try to be around here. its good for the quit!
