*hugz* It's good 'seeN' U again fish! :) [quote] I'm not quite sure what's going on in the top left graphic [/quote] Want me 2draw U a another picture to explain? :p *being good now* ;) It's a visual the attempts (poorly perhaps~lol) to show that the chemicals in tobacco smoke go most everywhere your blood flows. For some reason graphics stick in my head better than words do. When I was new to quitting I saw this pic of a person in prison and it helped me realize that is how smoking made me feel. Trapped, in a self-imposed jail.

I posted this one along time ago in memory of a family member and all who have died of smoking related illnesses. It's a small, yet very powerful image to me.

Deli [u]thank U[/u] so much for making me feel good! How nice you are! Congrats on 78 days too. :) -- Speaking of nice~ Missyfit! :) I hope you know that I feel the same about you. I'll never forget how much you helped me. Btw~the goofy cow is there (along w/ the tree) to ground the picture. (I guess we could say 'that' cow is [i]ground beef?[/i] :blush: :p) *har har~sorry for that joke~been hangN with my ten year old today* -- *grin* I remember that one G-Man and I am not surprised YOU like it~lol Sidenote: It was YOUR prison graphic that helped me. If I remember correctly the prison bars were cigarettes. -- Aloha Nalu :) I can't speak for all but Free and I are not geeks, we're freaks! :p Look at you kickN' some addiction butt for 2 whole weeks/24-7! Keep goN strong! -- *High 5 Free* You rock girl!
