PENITENT HAS TEN YEARS AND COUNTING!!!!

Thank you all!
 
Bob, I can see you down there just a bit short so I'm lobbing down a rope which I know you won't need but it there just in case. Keeping a place warm at the top table for you, February is just around the corner when we can stand shoulder to shoulder and look back on just how far we have come! Luna sends her best to you to my friend!
 
Ben, I don't think that I have ever met anyone like you who is so upbeat and positive all the time. I am proud to have been here with you during your impeccable quit and, as always, I look forward to our November reunion in London.
 
Ashley, quieter it may be but we still have a role to play and you more than most. Your kind words mean much to me and I thank you for them.
 
Hey Working On It, when we set out, a month is unimaginable let alone a year or 10! But now that you have clocked up 2 years, you now know 10 is just a matter of time! Magic!
 
Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, come November, you can stop chasing me and like Bob, join me at the summit where we can share a wee dram as we celebrate and reminisce. We both now know the job is done.
 
Jim, just keep cracking open the cold ones 'cos this dog ain't done hunting!!! One of these days I'm going to be further west than east and I can't think of too many better things right now than to be turning up on your doorstep! One day my friend! As we always say "Cheers Buddy! Clink, Clink "
 
And finally to my Super Quit Buddy Luna who turned out to be much more than that. In those early days of our quits we celebrated milestones with cyberspace dances; today, we dance together for real. Thanks Clare, next month you celebrate your 10 year mark and we will do it all again. Until then, I thank you all.
 
Penitent 10 years and a day!

Hey Buddy!!!
 
      I was on the road most of the day yesterday coming home from a meeting, but the first thing I did when I got home was to pop open a bottle and hoist it in the air to you!  Ten years is an amazing accomplishment and we're all proud of you!  Thanks again for sticking around and providing support to everyone here for all these years!  I'm growing up to be just like you! 
 
      I told you that you should celebrate for at least a week, so I'll be heading home soon to hoist another in your honor!  
 
           CLINK!!!

Hello my Sassenach friend Pen,
 
It's a huuuuuge achievement to reach 10 years, and you deserve all the praise coming your way.  What is your reward?  ( I may have guessed.) 
 
You have been a massive inspiration to so many here at SSC, not least to me....running as fast as I can behind you. Your to the point posts are always good to read and have helped many quitters.
 
Enjoy the praise, and congratulations to Luna too!
 
Never Look Back!  The Future is Ahead! 
 
Love Lolly.

Yay, Penitent! You have achieved what I once could not even imagine. A single year seemed so out of reach at the beginning. Thanks to you oldies, I can imagine and do it.

Pen, congratulations on 10 smoke free trips around the sun!  I'm so glad our paths have crossed in person the past couple years!  Thanks for all you've done to help me remain smoke free the past 5 1/2 years!  I hope you have a wonderful reward planned to celebrate!  Here's to the next 10 smoke free years, and beyond!

Huge and I mean Huge congratulations on this remarkable achievement. Following in your foot prints up quit mountain has been a thrilling experience for this old man. Huff and puff I am still able to follow along behind you and I will, like you get to the top if only to help others see that it can be done. Again congrats to you Pen and also you too Luna. Duffis
