Welcome Gypsy!! I can relate to your avoidance of meetings and/or counselling. Meetings are key to me cuurently, after being pleasantly surprised after the first few, I actually look forward to them. It's seriously a no pressure kind of thing. Hell, you don't have to say a single word. I'm glad you came here, just reading and venting("talking") is a tremendous help. It's helped to keep me sober for 27 days now.
You can do this!!!

Amen to that!!! 1 baby blanket, 2 scarves done and a shawl in the works. I only know one stitch and can only do variations of rectangles, but It's helped me cut back my smoking by half!!!
