Hi everyone and thank you for the encouragement on my 100 days! I was in hospital on the day undergoing hip surgery, so I couldn't even log in but am happy to say that I am back home, walking (on crutches) and most importantly smoke-free!
Hi Ashley,
I think that the "Find Helpful" feature is just right as it is. I don’t find it competitive at all and sometimes it is more than “Thank you” that I would like to say.
To clarify, when you talk about the Online/Offline indicator, I presume that it is the “dot” above a person’s details on the left-hand-side of all the posts? I have never seen anyone’s status as “online” – the dot is always orange and OFFLINE. I think it would be tremendously helpful to have an indicator with immediate effect as to when someone is online/offline. Living 9 hours ahead of most of the members I am usually posting when everyone is sleeping and would love to know if any members are logged in at the same time as me.
Hi Hopeful,
I have never been hypnotised, so this is just conjecture on my part, but a successful hypnotism for me would be that I would want my brain to be reprogrammed into thinking that I did not smoke. If you have never smoked (or have ceased to remember that you did) then you will not miss it, right? If this is what hypnosis is, I would go for it, but reading though the posts here, I can see that it isn’t.
I think Lolly has hit the nail on the head when she says that you have to make a conscious decision not have another cigarette. I “talk“ to myself all the time about the benefits of not smoking. At the end of the day, is that not a form of self-hypnosis?
