SPRING BONFIRE HERE NOW!

[Giulia]

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!

[Giulia]

ShawnP‌  I sent out about 75 reminders.  We'll see if it garners any action!

[Florflor]

Thanks G. Just show me how to play catch. Now. Here is a risky but funny game. Who wants to jump the fire without burning?

[NewMe]

Wow, quite the party going on here. I was just stopping by to add 20 more yakkies to the fire for today. Looks like we need to get some more birthday cake for Pops and his friends.

               

[JACKIE1-25-15]

8220 cigs not smoked. 

[Giulia]

Thanks Jackie.  Glad you dropped in.

[Florflor]

And  now before rest and sleep...

  a good reading with a cup of wine it doesn't has comparison.

Good night!

[freeneasy]

I have 21 more unsmoked cigs to add to the 33,000 I threw in last night. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that equals 33,021  (:

[Patty-cake]

It's been 1786 days since my last cigarette. I'm throwing into the bonfire 35,720 cigarettes that I didn't smoke! Living in NY, cost was at least $10 per pack which translates into a savings of $17,860.00

Congrats to all that choose to take their life back! A Celebration is in order.

[shashort]

Oh my goodness Patty cake I thought $7.86 was high for smokes wow you have a good savings going there.

[hellbilly_va2]

Hello all, hope everyone is having a good weekend. Figured I'd drop off a few more cigarettes fer yer fiya.Here's another 121,320 give or take a few cartons. Some days were rougher than others, so it's hard to get an accurate count. It's been 3,033 days since quitting. Only have 1 regret. Should have done it waaaay sooner. Anywhoo, congratulations to all, and to all a good night.     Tom

[Giulia]

Well, yup Jim 33000 plus 21 equals 33021!  Very good!  A in Math!  (As opposed to me who can't seem to add anything up right her!  lol)

Patty-cake‌  Thanks for dropping in and adding your beautiful unsmoked commitment.  

Nice tenting Florflor‌  I'm ready to snuggle up in there.

Hey Sassy!

[MePlus3]

Good night everyone!

Great fire you've got going here! Thanks Giulia! I'm adding to the fire, we've got to keep this fire burning!

[Happier2]

Here's my contribution: 39,654 cigarettes not smoked. No more exhaling 4000 chemicals. Making life improved for the 1132 days. I make digital images of all kinds. So here's my image to kill any interest or thought of ever considering lighting up

[MarilynH]

I threw in my unsmoked cigarettes Friday night but if not too late to toss in another 60 from yesterday and today, I'd love to do so. Yay for each and everyone of us Exers whether we've quit smoking for a day, wk, month, yr or 10 yrs, we're on a journey of being Freel.

[dwwms]

Good Morning, MarilynH‌ I've got your additional 60 and we're getting REAL close to the 2 million stinkin' cancer sticks up in smoke!! 

And, Jim freeneasy‌, I'm adding another 45 for the last 3 days to my previous 555 and that equals 600!!

We are now at 1,960,264!!

[MarilynH]

Whoo hoo, Yay!!!!!thanks for letting me know Doug, woweeeee dwwms

I finally made it to the bonfire.  Painting a dining room and kitchen sure does test your patience and marriage to the highest degree. 

I had my Abby all hooked up to the cart to pull in the 49,800 coffin nails to be burned, and I got the "cut eye".  She let me know right away that she would have absolutely nothing to do with those cancer sticks. 

Just think...  I have protected my lungs from 49,800 cancer sticks.  My quit date was June 10, 2010, and I am sooooooooooo happy to be free from such a self-destructive addiction.

Oh, I had to share that look I got from my Abby.  Cutting her eyes at me.  Imagine that! 

She is ready to eat any handouts of food you may have around the bonfire though.  Notice the drool falling from her mouth after I mentioned food.  I do not blame her for not wanting to have anything to do with pulling that cart.  Wish I had said no to the first cancer stick I ever smoked. 

[Jennifer-Quit]

Lunch anyone:

[plug66]

12,250 stupid sticks.......

[MePlus3]

It's not too late throw them in! 

[Giulia]

Pickled tobacco,   hmmm, kinda pretty looking, actually.  I envision it more like...
