Bonfire Now Beginning!!! 7/2017

[ShawnP]

Welcome!!! 

I went back on previous bonfires. There have been 8 on site but this is our 7th consecutive Independence Day bonfire!!! When we first started, there was a goal set for 1 million unsmoked cigarettes. We have doubled that goal last few years. Let's try to make this goal again!! We are independent from nicotine. That is something to celebrate about!

The fuel for the fire is your number of days My Quit Smoking Plan | A Program To Help You Stop Smoking: BecomeAnEX  multiplied by how many cigarettes you USED to smoke a day. (if you need help, let me know)

Here are some quit meters for statistics if you are interested. WhyQuit's Links to Free Quit Smoking Meters and Counters  or  QuitometeR - Home | Facebook .

The bonfire will end on 4th of july night at midnight.

I wanted to wait until later  BUT bonfire rollcall..... I am tossing in 8889 sickerettes.   Thanks for the music Shawn I will hang around for a while.  The food looks great.  Thanks for your hard work.  Enjoy the fun. 

[Pops]

Pops

[Pops]

Thanks for posting that ShawnP....that was so cool....

[Pops]

Those do look so good....ummm good.....

POps

[jaimefriggin]

 87,360 disgusting cancer sticks to add to this glorious blaze. That's 30,500ish dollars saved,  probably more since these things are more expensive now. So glad to have quit 6 years,  2 weeks and 21 hours ago.

[Pops]

Well, would you?  I would lol....this looks so fun.....I'm down with it....Pops

[Pops]

Wow!  Look @ that blaze....Thanks JaimeFrigginAllsup...that is a huge tally....congrats to you

Pops

[jaimefriggin]

In a second.    

[jaimefriggin]

Thanks pops.  Best decision I've ever made.

[freeneasy]

Thanks for hosting Shawn. Here's my 34,500 unsmoked sickerettes to add to the fire.

[ryan44]

I have 1966 days of not smoking so I'm adding 59,006 unsmoked cig to this bonfire. 

[ShawnP]

haha

[ShawnP]

Pooopssss you told on me!!!

[Pops]

Tell me about it...That brand new Harley of mine costs me $420 per month on payments, and my cigarette tally of $7 per pack and 2 packs per day =  $ 420 !!!! How fortuitous is that!?  I call that my "smobriety gift". 

[Pops]

Things are really running slow on Fios tonight...not sure what the problem is, but this is really torturing....so hey team, Pops has to be @ work by 6:00 AM & I am going to take it to the bed for the night.....I will check back in off & on tomorrow.  Thanks for all of the support....ShawnP, we love you girl!!!!! xoxoxox Pops

[ShawnP]

Thanks so much Pops for all your help!

[stephanie1067]

This is my very first bonfire, thank you so much for inviting me.  I have 49 days and 989 unsmoked cigarettes to add.  I'd so much rather burn them in the bonfire than smoke them myself because I don't smoke anymore.    

[ShawnP]

Our total so far is.........

817,008 cancer sticks!!!

[ShawnP]

you're welcome and thank you for coming!!! what a fabulous contribution.

[Pops]

My pleasure Sweetie, and thanks to you for all that you do.....

Pops

[Pops]

Burn Baby BURN!!!!!

I guess I no longer know how to be part of the site! I have so many friends here that I know and love, but everytime I come here I leave frustrated! I came here tonight and tried to contribute to the bonfire! I tried to contribute through two different browsers, but everytime I get to the bonfire and click "Add Comment" I get this white box with a box that says loading! But it never loads!

 

I wanted to ask you all to send up prayers for our Dear Friend Patticake! I wanted to drop off 109.560 unsmoked cigarettes! I wanted someone to give me a frozen margarita with EXtra salt (Don't tell Sandy)! I wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of them! I wanted to comment on how great it was to see a member with one day quit attending the event! I wanted to offer encouragement to all who need and appreciate it!

 

Instead of doing the things that I want to do, and the things I have done at all the July 4th bonfires, tonight I leave this blog (assuming I can post it)! If someone can copy it and post it at the fire I will appreciate it! If not, could someone please drop my 109,560 nasty Kool Milds into that roaring inferno! Happy Fourth of July!!

 

A special Thanks to Shawn, and all who who worked to make this event happen!!

 

Love to all! Live Free My Friends! Live Smoke Free!!      Tommy

[ShawnP]

Happy birthday Lillian, i posted an image for you but its being moderated.

[eddieg121]

Great Bonfire  Shawn I am putting FORTY THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE  CIGARETTES INTO THE FIRE!!

[ChangoGrande]

Ok, I'm trying to throw in as many as possible, so according to the Smoke Free app, that's 447.3 as of this moment.

But can't I throw in the ones from my first quit?  That's 24 years x 10 per day = 87,600   

I defer to the Elders for a final decision.  Oh, but can I, puhleeeaase!  Pretty please?

[shashort]

Happy Birthday Lillian.  

[c2q]

Hey! Great Bonfire you guys! Keep the fire burning!

[MrsP2]

I'm dropping by to throw in my 48,510 butts ‼️  WOO HOO ‼️  Quit date January 27, 2013 ... 

OH  HAPPY DAYS  

LINDA

[ShawnP]

[c2q]

Happy Birthday Lillian vanlil!

[HealthyOrange]

14,080

[ShawnP]

[c2q]

How bout some late night snacks around the campfire? Hope everyone's still hungry.

[ShawnP]

I think i like the old site for when we do bonfires. I like the different page view. I am having loading issues here. Anybody else too?

[c2q]

Yum, Shawn!  I'm not having trouble loading pictures, but some trouble with video, and get grey boxes for the videos others have posted. If I click on them, though, and give it a minute, they do come up. Your food looks great.

[ShawnP]

yes video takes a while. Tommy cant get on at all to this blog. I hope tomorrow he will be able to.

[c2q]

Yes, I saw that. I hope he can, too. 

I am missing a post, so my apologies if this shows up twice:

I have been quit for 6 Years, 2 Months, 1 Day, 23 hours, 1 minute and 53 seconds (2,254 days). I have saved $19,787.25 by not smoking 67,648 cigarettes. I have saved 7 Months, 2 Weeks, 6 Days, 21 hours and 20 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 5/1/2011 12:00 AM

[ShawnP]

Now i see a page view. ooopsss

[ShawnP]
