Bonfire and how it Works!

We are going to have a bonfire on Friday July 5th at 7 PM Estern time! The whole site is not only invited , but EXpected!! And that means you!!

I will light the fire on my blog at about 7:00PM! Everyone should bring their own fuel for the fire! We burn up your unsmoked cigarettes! Not ones that have laying around the house(I hope to God you don't have any of those), but the ones you would have smoked if you had not quit! For EXample it you have been quit for 100 Days, and you were smoking a pack a day(20 cigarettes) You wiould have 100 X 20 = 2,000 unsmoked cigarettes to throw in the fire! If you need math help let me know!!

There will lots of people at this event! We will have music links for music lovers! We will have food for those of us who like to eat! I am betting there will be Frozen Margaritas with EXtra salt(don't tell Sandy) and other adult beverages for the "cyber-imbibers"(new word??)! There will be Diet Coke for Maggie and Chocolate Milkshakes for Stacie! You are required to have fun, whether you like it or not!!

The most important thing is to get everybody involved, for whatever time they can spare! In the past we have EXceded 1,000,000 unsmoked nasties in the bonfires! I hope we can set a new all time record with this one! In order to make this happen, we have to all contact our friends, and make sure that everyone shows up! Keep after your friends until you get a committment! If some one can not attend, get them to give you their totals, so you can bring their contribution to the fire with you! All contributions must come from our members!

It is going to be BLAST! I EXpect and hope to see all of you there! Now go out and spread the word! If I may quote my dear late friend Dawn here: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO    Tommy

I think a virtual margarita will be exactly what I need.  I will only have a few days on the 5th...but every little bit counts, right?!?  lol

Boo Hoo! 😞 I will be at a very remote lake cabin and probably won't have access to the site! FYI: your 'quit plan' page...lower left corner will do calculations for you! I would be stokin' the flames with....ugh,are you ready for this.....5370 unsmoked sickorettes! The good news, I didn't smoke them and I am now a wealthy women!?! My wallet and my spirit are currently bulging!

Are newbies allowed? Are you kidding, we have so many people starting this week it should be in your honor!!! Congrats to everyone starting their new smoke free life tomorrow and through the next week! This is curious to me because it seems like more new folks than at the New Years bonfire for sure!?!

imageTommy... Regretfully, I won't be able to attend so I'd really appreciate it if you would toss in 5440 for me.  It's great to be rid of them but when you toast your marshmallows on the fire they taste a bit strange.  Hope this won't lead to a relapse.

Tommy I don’t know if I will be here on July 5th or not. My mom is going into the hospital on July 3 for surgery and she should be home by the 5th but if things go wrong and she does not make it I will not be celebrating anything anywhere. If I don’t make it to your bonfire by 11:59pm central time you have my permission to toss my cigarettes in the fire. I quit smoking on October 31, 2008 and smoked 1 pack a day 20 cigarettes per box if you want to add up the actual amount not smoked somehow or you can toss what I have as of right now and that amount of unsmoked cigarettes is 34094.

I hope to be at the Bonfire but if I’m not you will know why. See ya

Sounds like it's gonna be a heck of a bonfire. It's hard to imagine how many packs of smokes will be going up in smoke.  I myself will be contributing 10.5 packs and I will have only been quit a week.  If eveyone shows up, it's gonna be 100 ft. high.  Now that's a bonfire....better have the Fire Department on standby.

Looking forward to it.!

I will be with you at the fire along with (98 days) worth of cigs!! Have you noticed a lot of Minnesota residents as newbes? The price of cigs went up by $1.91 per pack.  Sure am glad I was ahead of the game for a change....Feeling good and doing good as well! NOPE.....Susie

I was smoking about 30 cigarettes a day before I quit and I kind of don't understand the math process that you used as an example. I would like to attend this bonfire this Friday providing that I am not to busy doing my homework for my online college classes. If you can do the math for me I sure would appreciate it so that I can give my total toward that bonfire fun in case I am not able to attend.

Hi Tommy!  I can't Wait.  I love the bonfires so count me in!  Since I can virtually drink and not hurt my kidneys or my liver I would like a naked, dry, vodka martini with two olives!  Not asking for much I know. 

PROTECT YOUR QUIT!
