Of course the Duffisms help!  Are you kidding me?  You are one of the main reasons I don't smoke anymore.

Every now and then I drop by to see how everyone is doing and I am still amazed at some of the old posts still being bumped. I often wondered if my posts really did help someone.  After reading some of the comments, I guess I did.  Thank you all.

Thanks for the bump Jim.  Thanks for the post and words of wisdom Duffis.   I never thought it before but reflecting on the past really does prepare us for the future and the changes that we need and want to make.

This post was great for the old timers too!  The university I work for has the motto of "Be The Change", this post makes me think of that ......  and I love this line - One of the hardest things in life is feeling stuck in a situation that we don’t like and want to change.
We can all change... it may not be easy but it might be worth the effort?!?!

Bump for all our new quit buddies!  To me, posts by Duffis are all classics and should be searched for and read by all of you newcomers!  His words really inspired me and influenced my quit!

Dear Duffis,
 
I did not think too far ahead about change and how I would feel.  It was just an effort getting from day to day at that time. 
 
I did not realise the truly enormous changes it would bring to every aspect of my life.  For those changes I am so grateful.  The universe has had to adapt tot he new me!
 
I hope more people read your post Duffis!   Never Look Back.  The future is ahead!!!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and Pete.
 
Love Lolly.

As always, how true are your words.  I really like your comment "...each day offers us an opportunity to renew our resolve and to declare to the universe that we are ready for change".  Thanks Duffis!
