Hi Nancy,

Yes it can get quit quite around here at times. A lot of the new users log in and read the forums, but do not participate in the messages. I like to call them the "lurkers" myself. 😏 Some folks like to be active, and some just like to keep quite. To each their own I guess. If they are learning something by just reading, more power to them! It would be nice to know, but some people are more private than others.

I'm one of the more private ones myself. I don't do Facebook, or Tweet or any of the other social networking things. This is the only place that I participate in, and at the start of my quit, I too was one of the "lurkers"!

The new years coming quickly and things usually pick up at the start of the new year....for awhile.

Take care.

Hi Hot SiO2 / Jim and Ashley,

Thank you so very much for the warm welcome! I would like to address more of what you wrote, but it's been a little hectic at the moment. Actually this week, I've been meeting with a quitter I met on line a long time ago; she is from out of state. We've been enjoying each other's company. She'll have 5 years, knock wood, come January.

Could you tell me what SSC stands for?

Thanks!

Blessings,

Nancy

Hey Nancy!

Glad you could join us! This is an awesome site for those seeking the tools and inspiration to quit. It is also a great place for long time quitters to stop by, say hi and lend a hand to those in need of support! I quit in March of 2008 thanks to the SSC's Program and the wonderful quitters who were here when I began my journey. It was really a different place back then! There seemed to be a fellow quit-buddy online reading the forum pages and responding almost instantaneously! Eventually, those of us who succeeded didn't need the support and our frequency of hanging out here diminished. I was a frequent flyer for quite a few years after I quit and it seemed like the number of new quitters looking for help either decreased or weren't interested in posting to seek support. Anyways, it is pretty quiet here now a days.

I am always happy to see new people get online and post and offer their words of encouragement. I had a weird "smoking dream" a few weeks ago and thought I ought to check back in and read some inspiring posts and possibly re-connect with some of my old quit buddies. One thing that I have learned is that you can never let the ol' nico-demon find a way to work it's way back into your life!

Anyways, welcome to the SSC and enjoy reading through the forum pages. There is a wealth of information here if you have any particular subject you are interested in. Hopefully they still have the search function working where you can just search on a keyword. I guess I'll have to check that out!

Take care and congrats on your long-time quit!

Jim

Welcome Nancy!

Thanks for posting. We are so happy you could join us. Like Timbo said we are all getting used to the site currently - you are not alone 😁 . Timbo gave you great instructions. If you run into any questions please let us know.

It sounds like you are a pro with all you know about quitting smoking. I am certain you will be a great asset to the group!

Timbo,

Your font looks bolder to me. I tried changing the font size and it seemed to work for me. It seems there are only two size options currently. Is that what is happening for you?

Thanks :)
