Wow did I have it all wrong last time I posted about you Jan. Ok let me see if I can get this right. Go get Aimee and give her the strap. Then bend over and assume the position. The penalty for brain farts is two whacks. Don't let these people beat you up too bad just don't do it again and don't make me come over there.

What changes when one of your friends has received the death sentence and invites you over to talk. Lung Cancer and never smoked a day in his life. Me�..no Cancer and smoked for 58-59 years. His wife�she is still smoking like a chimney. Doesn�t seem like there is justice in the world any more.
Well down to the cellar we go, park on a bench and break open a jar of white liquor or lightning what ever you prefer to call it. This particular pint was flavored with real strawberries and was about 10 year old. We didn�t solve any problems but we sure ended up feeling good; for a while anyway death didn�t go away. He offered me the whole shelve which contained about 40 pints he had made over the many years that he farmed. It is ironic that his crops were tobacco and soy beans. I told him that I would not be able to ever drink another pint from this collection with him being gone from this world, we both cried for awhile but what the hell we are both in our 70�s so life is just a rerun anyway.
What is the point of this post anyway? Am I about to climb up on the pulpit and start preaching? I don�t think so. Maybe a simple message would be appropriate. Value your friends and family for you never know when they might leave you. If you smoke quit it, if you never smoked don�t start.

Just a quick hello to everyone, hope ya all are doing super. UFO not only are you an amazing quitter now you are an amazing student!!
Congratulations to you. Major Dude hope you are keeping the west coast together and are doing ok. Brenna I sure hope those wildfires down in Texas aren't in your ballpark!
Duffis
Just wondering how evryone is. Talked to Major Dude last nite and was glad to here that he is ok and that things are starting to work out for him and the girls. Linda, Brenna, Georgie and Missy I am happy for you and the progress you are making in your new freedom, I miss you guys and your spunk when we were really raging a war on old Nico seems like we really won the war when we hit one year and are now taking a big rest. Stay in touch ladies I miss you.
Duffis
A big congratulations to you. It seems like yesterday that I wilcomed you to the SSC and here it is 70 days; thats over 2 months wow. You are really on the road to freedom and don't forget to reward yourself, you have earned it.

Rob you are a crack up Lithium����.I thought I was in the line for peyote. Ok Chicken what did you do stay in a Holiday Inn last night? PSYCHONESS ???? In all my years I have not encountered that term used in that particular sense. You might consider psychoactive as a replacement word for better meaning.
I can fully appreciate your rant and hope that you are one of the few that will succeed in your quit without the pain and suffering that us moners and groners have gone through. I seem to remember about day 180 I went to hell in a hand basket for no particular reason. Not having a bad day or anything. It (what ever it was and to this day have never figured it out) slammed me into the ground so hard I almost blew a 6 month quit. Wahhhhhhhh Wahhhhhhhhh you bet you�re a** I did��..but I didn�t fold, I could have but did not.
Besides my being in the wrong line ���there must be some reasoning for my posting to your thread���.oh yea now I remember. Don�t get to cocky you are still an addict and always will be. All you can ever hope to do is develop the will and courage to stand up to this addiction. There are a few rare birds like Joe and myself still around that can walk on fire bricks or for that matter what ever we choose to take on. 70% of all smokers want to quit���.. Only 5% will succeed. Be gentle and understanding of your fellow quitters���everyone is different and will do this anyway they can, if they can.
