Hello ((((Kim)))),

Congratulations on your quit and thank you for including the link to your story in your post. You're a wonderful, inspiring person who has, and will continue to, touch many peoples lives, including mine.

There's a lot more to quitting smoking that just quitting smoking, and your quit is certainly something to be very, very, proud of.

Can't wait to celebrate with you when you turn BRONZE!!

Thanks again for sharing!

Kim! Great to see you're off living that smoke-free life! Ultimately, that's what Freedom's all about.... rented cottages with family and friends, summer time, long walks, barbeques, sports, kisses, hugs, watching children grow, work, play, sleep, eat, frolic, recline, chat, or share silence.... it's about life.... the affirmation of it... the freedom to live it, unencumbered by our addiction. Enjoy, Kim!

YQB,

Bob (7 + Months)

Hello Kim.
Hope you are singing (like Edith Bunker) in the shower today!
She was a tenacious woman like you. Able to cope with all sorts of nonsence and stressing situations.
Yes, what you have been through wouldn't show on the outside.
What this little bird would tell if s/he could talk!
A gentle hug until that scar is totally fine, then the heavies, o.k

A toast to you and a toast to me! Congratulations on 5 months sis.

Mom said to me last Sunday that she had to give us credit and it sure made me feel good.

I guess there IS a bright side to everything. Smoke free and never going back,

Kelly

5 months today
