I wish more would people would post just so I could have new stuff to read.  I literally spend the entire working day with this site up, trying to stay as close as possible.  It turns out that I end up re-reading a lot of HOF speeches cause I run out of fresh motivational material.  Then again, I shouldn't complain cause I'm not a big poster myself.

scuba - if you haven't seen this page i'd suggest you check it out.

http://www.killthecan.org/facts/cancerfacts.asp

everything on this page has been taken from the forums... think of these as the "gems" from qsx.

enjoy!

There are over 363,000 posts on this board . . .that should keep you quit

I'm looking to talk to old vets as well as new quitters. I need as many numbers as I can get. It's very hard to reach other quitters during the evening hours since it just so happens I'm female. And though I'm female - other male quitters feel/or know that wife/girlfriend would not like their spouse talking to me during those hours. Which honestly sucks as a female because I have to work my issues around my quit brothers availability. Now if I were a male quitter - no problem! I'd be able to call you whenever a crave or issue would come about. Basically I could call you at 8pm and you'd have no worries.

So why can't others see females are addicts .. I don't want phone sex or to steal you away from your spouse. I don't want to have an affair. I don't want anything other than the compassion of knowing that when I need someone to talk to they'll be there. I'd be willing to speak to your spouse(s) on how important it is to have availability not just for male quitters but .... yes for female quitters as well. We do exist. Some hide behind male names, I know. For fear of rejection that it's impossible for a woman to become addict to snuff .. a woman like me for 20 plus years be an addict.

I'm proof we are out there. And so are the other women on here. Maybe I'm just rambling. Maybe I need help more than other women. Maybe I'm just completely fucked up. I just have alot on my plate to deal with and sharing some of that when I'm down .. helps me not think about all the screwed up shit I could be doing .. like dipping.


So if you think you can handle listening to me cry, rant, laugh and yell all about my crazy world then pass on your number by pm. I'll program it into my cell phone and if you need me I'll be there. If you have certain times I am able to call let me know .. trust me .. I understand ... I'm the other woman. I'm the one with the same addiction as you.

Thanks,
Nickie

You are not a fruitloop! I totally understand and wish I could help - but my lady is one of those you mentioned. She works with addicts and would jump too quickly on AA's policy of same sex sponsors...have you reached out to Melanie, Kid, or BengalsGirl? I'm sure there are dudes on here without crazy jealous chicks - just hop in live chat and put up a flag.

Most don't believe they're an addict even after quitting! That's why some fail. Admitting is the first step to recovery! Please post if you believe in the following statement:

Fighting an addiction by yourself is hard enough, but fighting it with others who know what you’re going through and will fight side by side with you makes that battle a hell of a lot easier.
