hi just wanted to remind some here that this is a support site for people wanting to quit smoking and not for putting people down, and venting, we all have journals to vent, so why not use them, lots of newbies here need to smile and be supported made feel good in their quit,
for some its very difficult and they are full of sadness lets not add to this and help them encourage them in their journey to quit,
i am sure helping someone is much better than moaning and not being suportive

" Hi Caz....yes this site is for support, advise comfort and encouragement for people that are serious about quitting smoking. We can also vent our frusration about the difficulties of quiting. If someone is being mean to others and putting them down they should be reported.
negative vibes do not belong here.

" Ladies,I couldn't agree more. I'm here to support quitters in any way I can over the internet. We all could complain daily about others, life, the stock market, etc., but we need to care about others and be supportive. There are other sites for blaming others and to just bitch. I've made some good friends on this site and look forward to making more, I have used your support and love to quit this killing habit and to start to enjoy a wonderful and more fullfilling life.
Everyone, please be positive with your words and thoughts, some words are like a knife and can really do some damage.
If ever I offend someone or if one of my comments upset you, then please send mw a message or hug and let me know. I never willingly try to offend or piss someone off.
I know I won't always agree with everyone as will as you not always agreeing with me, but what I usually write is just my opinion and nothing else. None of us are making laws and rules.
So with all this said, love one another, be kind and thoughtful and peace will come back to YOU. "

" Cazz,
I do agree that venting should be left to your journal. Unless it can be beneficial to someone else. I'm sure that many newcomers look for how one reacts to quitting, as they are very curious to what they are soon to experience. But I agree that the discussions board should be uplifting & INFORMATIONAL.
Just my 2 cents......
And hopefully everyone has a wonderful...Smoke Free...Non Stressful weekend. Hugssss 4 You ALL~MCkbc~(Misty) "

" I think you need to be able to come here for support even if you feel lousy and are down. That means you ask for support and get if from the wonderful, positive folk on here who have encouragement to give at that time. We all have days were we need it and want to hear it from others. On our good days we come in to search out those who need our support. Makes this site work wonderfully! "
