Dear Booling, I am so sorry for this news. But I am inspired by your response, if that counts for anything, and I thank you for sharing your personal tragedy with us. You courage in the face of this terrible news exposes my wimpiness at wanting to abandon the quit at the first possible excuse.
I dedicate my quit to you as I offer prayers for your family.

Okay, so Crazy Aunt Agnes is a little scary. But I'm very glad to meet you, Danno, and thank you for your post. I did nine months smoke free last year then fell on my face and am just now recovering. Posts like yours really inspire me, and I thank you. Back to baby steps after a great marathon...

Wow. This site has really changed since I was last a regular contributor. I am in the presence of greatness; greatness as it expresses itself in what looks like the everyday. Thank you all. I am so very glad to be back.

The laughter is good, thanks.
I think I was/am just kind of fantasizing out loud -- you are so right: trips are a trigger for me to confront and overcome, and so I shall.
(But you'll forgive me for resisting the temptation to dance in my undies -- it would scare the rest of the group away!)
I'm still like, Did those nine months mean anything?? Why am I still thinking like a crazy person?? I don't get that part of it...

You are so right, Elaine. Now all I have to do is find my inner grown-up who agrees with you.
