The more engaged you are in the program the more you will benefit. This means it is a good idea to continually be active in the forums. Ever have trouble knowing what to talk about in threads?
The following list of ideas will help you think of possible thread topics: • Tell your story. • What is happening for you today? • Openly express how you feel. • Discuss your achievements. • Discuss program sessions. • Where are you stuck? • What makes you happy? • What goals have you achieved lately? • What has been bothering you lately? • What are some new perspectives you have developed about smoking? • What new activities have you been enjoying since your quit? • What have you been worrying about lately? • What interpersonal conflicts have arisen since your quit? • What have you been avoiding? • What coping mechanism have you found helpful? • Congratulate members. • Talk about your smoke free dreams. • Talk about a topic you would like other perspectives on. • What do you value about being smoke free? • What are you afraid of? • If you could write a letter about smoking to someone you care for (i.e. apology, confessional, angry, hurt, thankful, loving) what would it say? • Discuss a peak quit moment in your life. What did you value about this moment? • What are some habitual smoking behaviors that you want to change?
