My son looked after our nearly 13 yr old dog, Samantha Digger Jane Hartley who was really happy to see us yesterday afternoon. We were pretty happy to see her as well and it was great to sleep in our own bed, the fireworks on the rooftop at the hotel we stayed in for Canada Day was the best that I have ever seen and maybe that's because I was sober and really enjoyed them without the crutch of alcohol or cigarettes so I wish each of you the best 4th of July ever and most of you should enjoy tommorrow off as well. Remember N.O.P.E - NOT One Puff Ever - really works when applied on a daily basis because S.I.N.A.O - Smoking Is Not An Option especially if we have been quit awhile because we must N.E.F - Never Ever Forget the early days of our quits because we never, ever, ever want to go back to day one but at the end of each day we need to smile and say another day WON, no matter how rough some days are to get through and believe me when I say we have had many rough patches in the beginning of our quits but we made it through to the other side and so will you, keep moving forward and stacking up your precious days of freedom because life is so much better without the crutch.
