Quitting IS emotional, dramatic and life-altering

It's way to early for me to be up. Long story that you don't want to hear...Anyway, lately a lot of posts have dealt with "it's too dramatic here, I am leaving" or "this site is too emotional, I am leaving."Quitting smoking is an emotional roller coaster. It is a dramactic, life-changing event. That is the way it is. People, each of us different, will have opinions, post remarks, have ideas, etc. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone. BUT, what we must all agree on is that this board is one for folks who have quit smoking and need support. With that in mind it makes me think of a sight I saw this fall. We have a marvelous Habitat for Humanity program here. Several homes have been built over the years. People from all walks of life volunteer: doctors, secretaries, grocery clerks, carpenters,Herbal cigarettes, accountants (you ge the idea). When they come together there are blueprints for the house and how it is to be constructed to meet State and Local codes.Each of the volunteers MUST OBEY THE BLUEPRINTS AND CODES or the house will not reach standards for occupancy. Each person,quit smoking now, or groups of people, can't go off by themselves and make changes to the plans. Everyone must come together to get the job done. THEY ARE THERE TO BUILD A HOUSE.Now, we are here to stop smoking and to support others, as well. We can't each have our own agenda or gather into little groups with a different game plan. All of us have to work toward the same goal. We all come from different walks of life; have different occupations; have varied life experiences and the list goes on and on and on. BUT that doesn't mean than we can come to this forum and want to joggle and jiggle why we are here in the first place...NOT TO TAKE ANOTHER PUFF EVER.We are not here to decide to quit. We are not here to wonder if we should quit. We are not here to hang around until we get the nerve to quit. We are here becaue we have quit smoking and want to gather together for the good and betterment of all those who are members of this little community.
