Hi Eyja,

Nice to see you again. You were on of the first people to voice support for me, even when I chose to go about things in my own difficult way. I appreciate the fact that you didn't try to go after my defenses, or my "fire," as we like to call it.

It was that ongoing support, along with the knowledge that others were watching my progress (or lack thereof), that got me to to my quit date and to the one year mark.

It's funny how just a few words and a sense of accountaiblity to some faceless folks out there can really be worth so much.

All the more reason to take the pledge again: I will not smoke today.

"Hey Quit Bud Willisv - Your absolutely right; we quit in February and we do have a deal!" Wait a minute here guys - I meant we both quit in February 2011 -2 YEARS AGO! I'd hate to harbor any more confusion on the 'quit date deal'!

And while I'm here, I'll reinforce this deal with a solid pledge - I didn't smoke yesterday, I won't smoke today and I won't smoke tomorrow! Or Ever! NOPE works! And so does the great support from our fellow member here at SSC!

You DID it Red Roses

Yay! Just look at those numbers you've chocked up! Congrats on passing ONE YR and beyond! I'm so proud of you <3 You do good work here too - Great posts :)

Hot Si02 - Whatthe?!!$#*! Is this nightmare true? After that long -with your stats! I'm glad I checked in; it's a good reminder for us all to stay vigilant! Hmm! Even got a 'breather' pledge!

Working On It - See "Hot Si02 - Whatthe?!!$#*!" comment above! Your (both) so wise to share this here - no better venue to let it go, with lots of support from those who've been there. Whew!

WooHoo for to making it over the ONE YR mark too! You've grown so much - and I'm so glad you never lost your 'fire'! We all agree on losing the 'smoke'; and you've proven yourself there too :)

Sparky - it's so wonderful to see you back! You are smart to pledge here - it really does make a difference - I really think this quit belongs to you! I missed you!

Hi Vincenza - Your always so positive :) Thank you for your kind words of support here at SSC

YAY for you - Sly, Dori & VIV - I see by the stats that these pledges are working for you all too. Keep it up guys - you only get stronger.

Hey Quit Bud Willisv - Your absolutely right; we quit in February and we do have a deal! Thanks for keeping up the pledges and good words - I agree it works best when we all have a deal :)

Way to stay strong!! It's crazy to hear how realistic those dreams can be.

I like your analysis Working On It! Hopefully that kind of drama disappears for good!

Pretty wierd! I had a relapse dream over the weekend! I couldn't believe that I actually took a puff and inhaled! Then of course I coughed my lungs out and crushed the damn thing! I woke right up, sweat running down my forehead! I had to smell my breath to make sure that it was a dream.

It's been quite a while since I had a smoking dream and I hope it's another long while before I have another one! I wish I could remember what happened before I actually took that puff in my dream so that I definitely avoid that trigger!!

I'm pledging that I will not smoke today... and tonight, too!

Jim
