Hi Everybody! I haven't been here as much lately, but I thought I'd put down a few rambles on what I have learned so far. I notice there are lots of new members on board, which is just great. To all of you just starting on your quits know that there is much to be learned on this crazy rollercoaster ride. There is so much more to this than just not putting a ciggie in your mouth. You will learn that not everyone will be happy for you. Some of your old smoking buddies will feel that by going to "the other side", you are betraying them. This is probably just jealousy talking and don't allow this non-support to deter you. I have discovered that I DESERVE to be a non-smoker. Smoking does not define who I am. When I was younger, I never thought of how my lifestyle would affect my life. We don't think of these things while we're partying and having fun. But now as a 42 year old, I MUST take care of my health. Bad things CAN happen to me and not just to someone else. I have also found new self respect and pride in myself. I LOVE this person I have become. I believe in myself and my strengths. I want to thank all of the wonderful members who have helped me get this far. You all will know who you are. I really don't think I would have come this far without all of you and this site. I have heard whispering amongst my family, I think they have a surprise planned for me tomorrow. My hubbys' and kids support and pride in me has been a daily reward. Hang in there everybody, it's tough at times, but sooo worth it.

I am in fact a sweetheart, how astute of you to notice! [IMG]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e58/saggysac/funny%20ones/th28b2092e.jpg[/IMG] BFS, You have been one of the "you know who you ares". Thanks for being here for me. I do have my bikini ready, I'm all shaved up (and down), slapped some self tanner on, and have my towel all ready for tomorrow. I had a wee peek at the Century Club thread today and see you've been in there trying to rally the troops for us. Thanks for that.By the by, how's school going for you? Well I hope. I'm sure it is, you seem like a smart cookie to me.

[size=4][color=purple]CONGRATULATIONS REDROSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/color][/size] WOW! I can't believe it's already been 100 days since the first of the year! You've always kept that positive attitude and have helped others along the way as well. Congratulations on reaching the beach! I hope you have your bikini ready (everyone looks great and has perfect bodies on the beach :) )! We'll see you at the beach tomorrow! Crave the Quit!

Struggling ...the beach is the virtual Beach that all the Quitters go to on their 100th day of their quit ! Just like Red Rosie one of these days you will also be celebrating your 100th day milestone... it's been a while since I have been to the "Beach" you can probably find the string if you do a search of the Century Club or 100 . Good Luck. Big Congrads to you RR for hitting the beach hope you enjoyed it ! :) X-Smokey the Bear [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/11/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 395 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,749 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1382.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 58 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 13
