SPRING BONFIRE HERE NOW!

[Giulia]

Starting off this blaze with a little tinder from the forest floor....

Adding in my 122,288 un-smoked Stupid Sticks

WELCOME ALL QUITTERS!  

For those unfamiliar with our bonfire tradition... click on the following link:  About Bonfires and How to Participate (it's pretty simple, just figure out the number of cigarettes you usually smoke in and day and multiply it by the number of days you've been quit.)  Scroll down to just past the Doors video and click on add a comment.  Or scroll through page by page and see how the party is progressing!)

I want to thank Shawn and all the other Bonfire starters for leading the way.

Here are a few  hors d'oeuvres to whet your appetites...

And a few beverages!

Or perhaps you'd prefer something with more of a citrus tang....

Maybe wine????  We're serving Rose'

And..... white

And red!

Pull up a chair....

Or flop into a....

Or maybe you brought one of these....

And a little music to begin the party!!!

Sit back, enjoy your smoke-free beautiful selves!

[Giulia]

The ever popular answer - HAVE YOU CLEARED YOUR CACHE???

[Giulia]

And more gooooooooooooo smoke-free vibrations...

[molzep]

Hi everyone! What a perfect night for a bonfire!  I'm throwing in 54,316 cigarettes from 7 and 1/2 years of no smoking!  I also brought some sangria that I mixed up earlier today. Newbies - you might want to have the virgin version this year. No worries though, it gets easier.

Anyone who remembers me well knows what song I'm bringing. My inspiration song.  4 Non Blondes What Is Up : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive 

This is the song you use to hear when you went to my page on the old version of the site.  One day early in my quit, I was headed to one of my trigger's house (in-laws  ) and I was feeling stressed, down and worried about my quit. This song came on and I sang it at the top of my lungs. I DIDN'T COUGH!!! So it became my inspiration song.  I hope all the newbies here find something to inspire you too.

Hi - nice to see you! Pull up a chair and set for a while!

[Giulia]

Thanks Mike.n.Atlanta‌ for dropping that stupendous amount on our bonfire.  We're getting close to the one million mark and your batch and longevity and maintenance is what helps give power to the rest of us.  Currently at 956,096!!!!!

[Yaya2.6.10]

32,760 added from Florida

[Giulia]

Gotcha dwwms‌  Thanks for adding them in!

Molly!!!!  molzep   Thank you for your inspirational words and your steadfast quit!

[Giulia]

I got you Doug! Thanks!

[molzep]

Thank you for hosting. It's a great party.

[Giulia]

Got you too Yaya. Thanks for throwing those 32,760 nasties in.  Something funkys going on with what I'm seeing and what I'm posting and ... so forgive me ALL if I'm not responding as I should.  This IS my bonfire initiation after all, and too, we're on a new platform - so who know what's where....

Anybody who reads this way down in the blog and wants to be my "second" for counting purposes, please - let me know. I could use some help with that.

[bacardigirl]

Adding my 4100+ unsmoked cancer sticks! Good riddance!

Mark I can’t get the video icon on a blog still. This is what I get when I click on the blog not my inbox. I even cleared my cache and rebooted my computer and I even got on internet explorer and it would not work. I can’t post a video like G does.

This is my computer information and I use google chrome and yes I updated the browser information. I did update my goggle chrome just now and it still does not work for me to get the video icon to show up on a blog. After I click on the 3 black dots I still don't get the video icon still. I am on the bonfire blog and not my inbox and I can't get what G is talking about. I saw Dale say he does not get the video icon either on this blog so I don't know what is up. Maybe it is just my computer. 

Here are some screen shots so you can see what I am seeing.

Adding 8796 cigs to the fire...1096dof

[freeneasy]
