Thanks, Lainey... and all of you!!
Yeah, 7 months... I'm still an addict, I still experience something like cravings once in a while... but it's a long, long way from the way it was not so long ago.
I always said that it was like watching the hour hand on a clock. You watch, and you don't see it moving... but you look back in an hour... and sure enough, it has moved. And that's what this journey is like; it can be very tough to see the positive changes day to day... but you look back in a month, two months, 6 months... and you're overwhelmed at how much really has changed.
Unhooked, you're the one lighting the way these days. :) But nothing new in that. You've done that since day one... for others, and for me.
Kelly, you will be. Anyone who can achieve 42 smoke-free days can achieve a smoke-free life. It's always about today. The day I lose sight of that fact, I'll be in jeopardy. Let's hope that none of us ever forget how important this day is.
Ahoha! :) 2 more days! I'll be here!
Thank-you so much, Lynn!
Kita! One more day?? Holy cow!! How does that feel?! :)
Tom, you passed the 200 mark!! That's the best, pal!! We're all so very proud of what you've done in your life! And your example will inspire many others to follow you! Way to go!!
Thanks, Anna! I miss you too!
And Blue Cloud... coming up on that first century mark!! I know how you've struggled at times and how tightly you've hung on to SSC and the people here. And I'm so proud of you...
Thanks, Tam! :) You've come a long way... over a month, and as I've said many times, no one comes that far unless they mean business. Keep doing what you're doing... never let go of the dream. You CAN and WILL have the life you want... and it will be ALL you hoped it would be. It's quickly becoming that for me now, and it will for you too. I promise.
Yes, Sue... my sense of smell and taste are more sensitive with every passing month. And Winter is very much on our doorstep these days.. right, Lainey? :)
Thanks so much, ED!! It's good to see your, ah... long face again! :)
Thanks, Josie :) You mods make it easy, and we all owe you a debt of gratitude for all you do here!
Hi, Tresa!! Wonderful to see you! It's ALWAYS wonderful to see you!
Lainey... here we are. We've come a fair ways, you and I. And we've supported and encouraged each other through every doubt and craving. We've held one another up and believed the best.
I'm sure glad you've been here, Lainey! You've been a wonderful friend!
