This original post was one of the first I read at the SSC. (before I signed up) I remember sitting at the computer and crying thinking, [i]I have to quit smoking. Please God, help me quit smoking[/i].

I posted this last year on Rain's thread "Need to know - What was your wake-up moment". I copied it here today for Wheezy. She like me was always looking for smokers older than herself - a way to rationalize continuing to smoke. Maybe this will help Wheezy or someone else who is thinking (NOT) like I was. This is what I wrote: "It was January 23rd when I decided, and April 1 when I sorta quit and April 15, 2005 when I made the pledge "Not One Puff Ever". From January 23 to March 23 I was on a trip in Central America and did not want to "spoil" our vacation going through withdrawal. I smoked like a chimney for those two months in preparation for my quit, while each day going to the internet cafe to read an email about one of my closest friends. They had just discovered a spot on her lung. Ann was her name. Ann lived 3000 miles from me. Ann and I met on line playing bridge. Ann and I became very close. We played bridge several times a week. We emailed and talked on messenger every day. We confided alot in each other. Ann and I bought plane tickets and each traveled to Las Vegas for several days so that we could meet each other in person. We rode roller coasters there - each of us having a passion for them. We ate sushi. We went to Cirque du Soleil. We laughed through a great Female Impersonator Show. We discovered we really were like sisters. It was one of the most fun trips ever. She visited me on the little island in the Northwest where I live. We went whale watching. We danced to Dirty Dancing in my upstairs. We explored the islands, beach combed, cooked. I visited her in Florida. We explored the coast and mangrove canals. We laughed through "Menopause, The Musical". We searched for manatees. We ate great Southern seafood at beachside cafes. We flew to Philadelphia. We visited a friend there. We went to museums and re-lived American history. We ate Philly cheese steaks and rode double-decker busses. We met in New York City and saw Broadway shows. We went to Queens and ate Egyptian food. We cried together at Ground Zero. Ann was a ray of sunshine. She had more close friends that anyone I ever knew. Ann had a wonderful husky Southern drawl. The huskiness was because she was a smoker. We lov
