So glad to see!!!  We need more stuff to throw on the fire if we want to keep it going.  Come on guys join us.  If you are lurking and new come join us or if you are "old" and lurking come join us.
 
Phil, (((HUGS))).  I went though that a few years back, sending lots of caring hugs and thoughts.
 
Now Alice you threw that junk in the fire; it needs to stay there
 
Think I will add chocolate chip cookies and some chips and salsa.

This is a great idea Sparky
 
I will bring all the ingredients for hot cocoa (milk or almond milk, cocoa powder, agave syrup, vanilla extract & cinnamion sticks) & some large mugs. 
 
I will throw in depressive thoughts, self doubt, and insecurities
 
The fire is the only thing smoking (white rabbits, white rabbits....)

Thanks for the fire Sparky!
 
I bring some banana bread and steaming vanilla roibos tea.
 
I'll through into the fire, defensiveness, paranoia and the well of deep feelings around my mothers slow passing.
 
See the whoosh of the flames!

A couple years ago they use to have a Thursday night "BONFIRE."  Everyone would gather around the fire and throw whatever was bothering them into the fire.  You bring a snack or drink to share and some would provide the music.  We need to get more people involved in their quit and share.  The key to this site is reaching out to one another and become "family."  Believe people, this site works if we work it.
 
So I am bringing items to make smores & hot chocolate.
 
The fire is going.  I am throwing into the fire cancer, and sad thoughts.
