Vegas Skyping!!!

Just finished skyping with the EX-4 Reunionees in Vegas and Dale (Jonescarp) and Laura (Michwoman). 

Kathy (Strudel) had an idea to adapt  Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" and altered a few of the lyrics to fit EX.  Dale worked it up on his guitar and added some lyrics of his own and we all sang it together!  Mark (our Admin) video taped it and I'm sure he'll providie a link when he can.  It was just NIFTY!

Several people shared personal stories and words of wisdom from their quitting experience.  They are all happily  having as great a time as always. 

Here are the altered lyrics we all sang:

   

Be-Come An Ex

When it began, I was just young and stupid
Never dreamed I would smoke so long
I was its slave, it was my daily master
You helped me grow this quit so strong

 

Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Be-Come An EX
Freedom never seemed so good
I’d be inclined
To believe it never would
But now I

Look at my friends and it don't seem so lonely
I filled it up with great support
And when I crave
I’ll let it roll off my shoulders
How can I fail when I've got you

 

One, touching one
Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Be-Come An EX
Freedom never seemed so good
I’d be inclined
To believe it never would

Be-Come An EX
Freedom never seemed so good
I’d be inclined
To believe it never would

 

(SO GOOD, SO GOOD, SO GOOD!!!)

Member since MAY 2008. I quit smoking March 1, 2006. I smoked a pack and a half a day for about 35 years. What did it take to get me smoke free? Perseverance, a promise not to smoke, and a willingness to be uncomfortable for as long as it took to get me to where I am today. I am an Ex but I have not forgotten the initial difficult journey of this rite of passage. That's one of the things that's keeping me proudly smoke free. I don't want to ever have another Day 1 again. You too can achieve your goal of being finally free forever. Change your mind, change your habits, alter your focus, release the myths you hold about smoking. And above all - keep your sense of hewmer. DAY WON - NEVER ANOTHER DAY ONE. If you still want one - you're still vulnerable. Protect your quit!
