[General]
The last few weeks, I have been feeling very down about things. I've been trying desperately to quit smoking, with out much luck. I've cut down quite a bit, but I can only seem to quit for a few days at a time. This has been a very stressful period in my life, because I am in the process of helping my man get his new business of the ground, as well as trying to convince my mentally troubled son to get the help that he so desperately needs. I guess i just picked a bad time to quit. And then, after being away from B-net for about 3 weeks, I decided to log on to see how everyone was doing and catch up on whatever i had missed, and what did I find? My own face staring back at me from the main community page!! Very disconcerting to say the least! There I was, with a caption asking B-net users to help me quit smoking. Wow! I was just about ready to give up on the quitting idea. The powers that be had a different agenda, apparently. So, being inspired by this new development, I decided to start a group, with the intent of helping others like me, who really want to quit, but have just about given up. It has given me a whole new outlook on things. And I never expected such a great response! Smokers, non-smokers, and ex-smokers have all rallied to this cause! It's a very encouraging situation, and I am hoping to return these wonderful feelings to those of this group who need it the most. It's amazing to me to discover, that at one of the times in my life when I was feeling the most alone, I was just a click away from being surrounded by loving and caring, compassionate people. This place just keeps getting better and better. Thanks B-net! I think I'll stick around for awhile.
