Hey, surprise to see my name in one year lights.  This is absolutely amazing to realize that I’ve come this far.  I recently went to search back to that first time I posted here and was surprised to read that I was like a little baby being born in a new non smoking world.   I knew I wanted to quit but I wasn’t sure how I was going to survive and make it happen.  Thanks to SSC for coming to my rescue because it really made a difference. I now see many new babies being born on SSC and I want to tell them all that it’s not only doable but you will become a wonderful new person from doing so in the best of ways.  I can tell you that it’s been the first year in which I actually remember most of it in detail.  When I look back in my smoking past I just remember them as a blur.  I think its part to the fact that when all you are doing is thinking about cigarettes every hour of the day and getting your next fix, it’s very hard to actually enjoy your everyday life.  Since one year ago today I have begun to live again.  I’m not only willing to take more risks but I’m able to listen better, to feel again, and best of all to accept once again who I am. Yes as children we never really needed those cigarettes right?   It’s definitely been a road that has taken some wild turns at different points, but once you go through them you realize that the outcome was much better handled without that filthy cigarette out of hand.  So in the spirit of rewards I went to a great festival this last weekend near where I live called Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa with a friend of mine.  I was a wonderful mix of all age groups of people coming together to celebrate music, supporting new economies, and all kinds of fun demos including hundreds of hula hoops in different colors being used by all ages.  I saw some smoking but I thought hula hooping was pretty darn fun and I think was the better choice.  This weekend I will drive up to Oregon for a wedding and enjoy the wonderful microbreweries along the way.  I bought a new flip camera and will be making little films for fun.  Maybe you might see my films on You Tube someday.. (can I say that here).  Anyway now that I’m free of nicotine anything is possible.   Thanks again folks for all your support. Ron
