Welcome! The bonfire is now starting. It will continue through Sunday night midnight 11:59 EST. Please stop in whenever you can. For those that aren't familiar with our bonfires, the fuel for the fire is your unsmoked cigarettes. It would be your days quit x how many cigarettes that you USED to smoke. You can find your days quit here... My quit plan   Also, here is a calculator that you can use. Just edit the numbers to yours. You can find other statistics as well. 

 

Our goal tonight is a standard of 1 million. We usually  dbl it. Our highest was 2,895,441. 

 

Feel free to post music, food or funny images. Please note that we do have to abide by "no copyright material". This site provides links to pics  . We are also having costumes. What can be more funnier than trying out different figures, animals etc? haha

Here are links that you can use....

1.  Face in hole

2.  Photo fun maker

3.  photofunny 

 

If you are mobile user, there are apps that you can use as well.

Good evening to all at the bonfire! I am wheeling in 2,715 unsmoked nasty-nasties that represent my total freedom from cigarettes for the past 181 days. Congratulations to all who also have earned this smoke-free day! blue wheelbarrow.png     no smoking.jpg  NOPE....NMW!!

To be honest, I have missed the nightly bonfires we used to have on "the Q" site. So it has been great to participate in the 4th of July weekend bonfire activities here at the EX, Giulia                                   bonfire fun.jpg

You are so darned creative with your "dress up" choices for us Guilia; great job with every single one that I have seen. For many, your sense of humor shines through and gives me a chuckle. Thanks for the enjoyment!! smiley face.jpg

About the Author
I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
