[QUOTE="witzend, post: 248285, member: 99"] Esther, I love you, and I haven't posted in months. I really felt compelled to reply because I can see how upset you are. The very simple answer to your query (not question) in [i]my[/i] mind is that you have never asked us for advice on how to quit smoking, and in the 6 years I have been here this is the first time I was aware that you smoked. Your smoking (or not) and Stands' situation don't really resemble each other as they apply to this place. And, fwiw, in Stands' situation, I agree that people should not reply. Sometimes, I think, when people reply angrily, they aren't replying to her, but to the pity she has gotten out of others. I'm not angry at her at all. I don't think she can help herself. But it does seem that people should stop telling her she does a great job when in all actuality all she has done is post asking for prayers or support. By all means she should get prayers and support. But kudos should be for progress. It took a lot for me to post this, and I would only do it for you, old friend. [/QUOTE]
