• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello everyone,

I am brand new to this forum and joined because I’m going through a very difficult time in my life and seeking out some fellowship.
I’ve decided to give up smoking, which I’ve been doing on a daily basis for eight years. It is taking its toll on my lifestyle and health and I don’t want it to go any further.

Long story short:
Three days ago was the quit date.
Today I had a relapse, but got Chantix.
Re-Scheduled date of smoking cessation is Nov 24th

Here is an idea if there is anyone out there in the same boat as me. I’m somewhat competitive in nature and think that this would be a good motivator. If there is anyone who wants to quit within a week or so of me, would you like to have a friendly competition?

Rules are just this:
Quit within a week of Nov 24th 2006 (the day after Thanksgiving).
Those who make it until Christmas with no form of tobacco use will receive a prize. I don’t know what yet, but it will depend on how many participants there are.

We can keep each other accountable and it can be continued if necessary.

I am determined to beat this addiction. Are you?
 
A

Hello!

I missed your first deadline but would be very grateful to have support in my latest attempt to get and STAY smoke free. My recent divorce was an almost two year crisis which led me to become a smoker twice. Now I have no excuse!

Anybody else interested in mutual support and accountability?

Thanks
Christy

Hi Christy, I quite on December 20th. I had an unusually bad coughing spell and quit that day. That has been 15 days ago. I am starting to enjoy the benefits of not stinking of tobacco, not to mention the continued ill effects of 20-25 years of smoking. I will find a link to an excellent article that really helps the beleiver stay off them too.

God bless You

Gary
