Winter Bonfire Is Now Beginning

Welcome! The bonfire is now starting. It will continue through Sunday night midnight 11:59 EST. 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 use this Bonfire Cigarette Calculator to automatically record your numbers to me or you can do it manually. If doing manually, please also include your quit date and how much you had smoked. You can find your days quit here...My EX Plan | BecomeAnEX   Here is a EX Quit Calculator - Google Sheets  if you want to check  other statistics. 

Our goal tonight is a standard of 1 million. We usually do more. Our highest has been  2,635,592.

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 free 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. FACEinHOLE - Who do you want to be today? 

2. Man's Face Effects Online 

3. https://www.face-in-hole.net/ 

4. Photomontage of Borat with his * banana hammock * green and sunglasses 

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

In case that you don't know how to post pics or videos, here are the tutorials.

Oh him!  He's the one who provided the transport to get me here before the end of the bonfire.

We had a very long way to travel to join ya'all.  But glad to say we MADE IT!!! And we brought my 18 200 unsmoked cigarettes to add to the fire.  Good riddance!!!

Now I'm going to be visiting around the site to see what I've missed so far.

Can't start the trip home to South Africa without mingling for a while, can I?

Luvya G!

ShawnP

And luvya too Shawn - seems like a very successful bonfire you put together.  Thanks!!

And everyone else...I love you guys too.  Thank you for getting me this far into my forever quit!

xxxxx and hugs.

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
