Freedom train (Sunday 7/22/12)

Welcome to Sunday everybody! I'm sending out positive thoughts to all of the Ex family and their loved ones.

 

After several attempts to quit, KathyS finally realized that she just could not ever smoke, even a puff, again. She learned that it leads to relapse. So Kathy knuckled down and became an Ex. That was 900 days ago. Way to show us how to do it Kathy!

 

Our next two guests have had their ups and downs but have remained smoke free now for 300 days! Way to go Joanne and Owlfeather! It won't be long now and you'll reach one whole year! Welcome aboard and have some fun ladies!

 

We haven't seen Lady Hyacinth for a few months now but she reached 200 days today. I had to put her on the train! Hey Lady, if you happen to find yourself around a computer (working of course) I hope you'll be able to join us.

 

Our final guest today is someone who tried to jump the gun last week!!! It's enthusiasm like that that will carry Sandy all the way to her forever quit. Today we are welcoming Sandy in the Triple Digit Club with 100 days. How does it feel now Sandy? Hop aboard and mingle with your fellow quitters.

 

That should do it for today – if you are aware of anyone else please let this conductor know as soon as possible so the train can redirect to pick whomever up. Thanks!

 

This train is bound for FREEDOM from the Evils of tobacco and smoking!

 

"IF YOU ARE NOT RIDING WITH US, YOU ARE MISSING THE TRAIN"

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ABOARD!!!!!!!!! Maggie image

Cherish each and every breath you take.

I sometimes think I can still do it and then I look in the mirror and really laugh! That's okay there are things I can do today that I couldn't do then. It's a nice trade-off! That's for the trip down memory lane!

What a great day to ride the Train! Thank you for remembering me with the banana bread Maggie! Big Smooch!

I did have an e-mail EXchange with KathyS, earlier this week! She was going to try to get here today but has many irons in the fire! She is indeed Smoke Free wishes she had more time to be here! Kathy has been special to me since we first met here! Congrats on 900 Days Kathy!

Lady H, you were of the very first people that I met here! I am not sure what is up with you, but I miss you and look forward to catching up!

To all the others celebrating milestones today: Even though we may not be as close as I have been too the other two Ladies, I do care about you and your quits! You are valuable members of this home of "Collateral Kindness"! Congrats on your milestones!

I know there is a wire crossed here somewhere Owl, but do not stress over it! You will be at 300! We al;l know that!

Congrats to all, and special thanks to Maggie!       Tommy

You are always an insprasion to everyone.  I still hanging in there.  They did surgery on two arms and next will be my elbow then my neck then my back.  My sisters have been a big help and reading blogs keep me going.  I have been in therapy since Dec.  I have a long ways to go.  Thanks for the pick me ups.  Take care and keep up the good work.
