Cigarettes Not Smoked

Interesting idea. I think a lot of us do that anyway, sort of, without it being a formal thing. I know I have sort of taken a few under my wing on several occasions. I'm not sure how it would work, but it's a good idea. With a little planning, I think that it can work. I'll do it. Crave the Quit!

Great idea Mr. Ed. You can adopt me if you want because I want to catch up on you with your 192 days but you go so fast. I have 146 now and want more !!!!

Pen, No we can't! By the way, I've got a couple of teenage kids to 'swap' for an adopted quitter :eg: And Dutch - are you sure? Naturally, I think this is a good idea, but somebody's going to draw the short straw and get Mr Ed as a 'father figure' Mr Ed :p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 193 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,794 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �1447.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 32 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 46 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15

Thanks Shevie, A mentor was exactly what I had in mind! Sometimes I come on here and my vocabulary just goes out of the window! Anybody else?

I would just like everybody's opinion's on this... The idea is that an older quitter could 'watch out' for a newer one, perhaps via IM where possible. I'm not suggesting that we don't keep responding in the usual way. Mods - has this been done before.. if so, was it successful? Thanks Mr Ed :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 192 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,775 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �1440 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 32 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 23 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

I think this is a great idea but I haven't been able to do the messenger thing - I'll have to work on it tomorrow.

This is a great idea and I wish I didn't use a "mac" 1/2 the time. And I need to turn every virus scanner off on my "pc". And I am available right here in the forums. So if you want to chat let me know. Right here.

Hi Mr. Ed. I do this all the time. It helps me to remember how far I have come as well. In the beginning Ros took my hand and led me along the way. I have paid that forward time and time again during the last year. It is amazing to watch people grow and to be able to help newer quitters through those first few months that are so tough.
