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!

3 Years 9 Months = 41,045 UN-smoked cigarettes to toss on the blaze.

Money that I didn't send up in smoke = $14,365.96

Travel and Fun using money not spent on cigarettes = PRICELESS MEMORIES! (how long do you remember that cigarette once you put it out?)

Hi everyone had a busy day and just getting here. Looks like on heck of a party.  Hmmm I think I want real beef with those veggies. Throwing in 25 more yucky smokes for what I would have smoked today. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday. Love the carrots Guilia.

Happy, happy birthday, Pops  Hope all of your hopes and dreams come true this year!  This would have been my mother's 95th birthday if she was still alive.  I'd like to think she is on the French Riviera with my father since that is where they met and fell in love.

I am throwing another 20 cigarettes onto the bonfire. I worked today and I am ready for a serious nap but I have to wait until a more respectable hour to nap because I am hoping for a seriously good night's sleep.  Haven't had one in two days and I am BEAT.

 HAPPY BONFIRE all!

Hope everyone has been enjoying the Blaze all afternoon!

I went back through, didn't really catch anything I missed (I don't think) other than I went ahead and added some for happyman & jazzy3, who had just put down # of days - I calculated them at 20 per day. As of now I have a total of 1,645,203.

Wow Sharon, where on earth did you dig that up from???  It's fabulous.  And so SO strange to hear the laughter.  Wow.  Now that we know what we know, it ain't a BIT funny!

About the Author
Member since MAY 2008. I quit smoking March 1, 2006. I smoked a pack and a half a day for about 35 years. What did it take to get me smoke free? Perseverance, a promise not to smoke, and a willingness to be uncomfortable for as long as it took to get me to where I am today. I am an Ex but I have not forgotten the initial difficult journey of this rite of passage. That's one of the things that's keeping me proudly smoke free. I don't want to ever have another Day 1 again. You too can achieve your goal of being finally free forever. Change your mind, change your habits, alter your focus, release the myths you hold about smoking. And above all - keep your sense of hewmer. DAY WON - NEVER ANOTHER DAY ONE. If you still want one - you're still vulnerable. Protect your quit!
