Jocund July Pledge

   Jocund July Pledge 
   
  
   
   
   Come take a hand and CELEBRATE your quit with your fellow travelers!  Make a promise to honor this loving commitment you've bravely made to yourself.  Each smoke-free day builds upon the next.  Until one day you turn around, look back and say,  "I can't believe how far I've come!" 
   
   
  
   
   There is strength in this community.  There is power in a pledge.  There is safety in numbers.  We buoy each other up.
   
   
  
   
   
   
   
  It is an honor to start this month's Pledge, and to share this journey with all who come here.

  I pledge not to smoke this day, no how - no way.  With Mag's hand in my left, I offer my right hand to the next Pledgling to fly on in.  (Giulia 3,409 cig free days)

Good Morning.     Love the pics Giulia!

I'm still having problems with me getting on the blogs and my profile but can sneak around by the back door to get on the groups!        I NEED TO HAVE THIS FIXED SO I CAN BE AT THE BONFIRE!!!

Won't smoke over it!

Giulia, thanks for your hand.    I take it and pledge not to smoke today no matter what.  I will offer my other hand out to the next in line.

P.S. 🙂 I still don't know what the point of likes and hi 5's is in the context of the blogs on this site.

Eric, as to the new Like and High 5 buttons - I think they've been added for several reasons.  One - is for those who are perhaps used to Facebook (which I'm not), but apparently they have a Like button there. So for those who are not ready to jump into the blogs verbally by posting something because they’re shy or whatever,  they can just click on the Like button which says "yeah, I got you're point and I like it.  Thank you!"  Some people are not ready, willing nor able to post their own words on blogs.  They just aren’t.  But a Like button enables them to at least give acknowledgment for something they found beneficial.  That's what the Like button means to me.  I LIKED what you said.  It resonated with me.  I identify.  The High 5 button - well I didn't get it at first, but now  I think I do.  I think it means WAY TO GO!  Ya done good!  Keep it up.  Congrats!  But then I too get confused because what's the difference between a "like" "I totally agree with you, you said it brother!"  And a “high 5"  WAY TO GO!
But ultimately - doesn't really matter.  Both are positive responses - just slightly different.  As our Admin said:  "While both the "Like" and the "High-Five" give positive reinforcement, they do mean different things. Think of the a "Like" as simply liking something. And a high-five is more encouragement and saying good job."

Good Morning.      I am so grateful that I am FINALLY (I think) on the site with all things accessible.       

Eric....welcome to the group!

Giulia, thanks for your hand (did you extend your hand?).     I will take it and pledge that I will not smoke today no matter what!      I offer my other hand out to the next in line.
