It's a Wonderful LIFE!

In March 2010, The Elders of this site gave me the gift of their wisdom and Experience! They patiently EXplained to me how to save my LIFE and then gently guided me toward the path of SUCCESS! For this gift of LIFE I will be forever grateful! 

Since then, These strangers have invited me into their hearts and EX-Family and I have made more LIFE time Friends than I can count! I have also paid forward as much as I can to the others who came behind me in the best way I know how. I am grateful to God for the opportunity to do so!

Now, I find myself in the midst of a personal tragedy as I spend perhaps my last Holiday Season with my Best Friend, Kenny as he passes through last stages of CHF. I have since found out that he also has diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, and kidney falure as well. No, he did not smoke ever....he literally drank himself to his deathbed! I and a few close Firends are his Care Providers in his last days.

Therefore, I ask that you please forgive me for not addressing each of you individually with my heartfelt well wishes for a Very Happy Christmas Season and a Wonderful Smoke FREE 2015! Each of you, from those Elders, many of who still pour out their hearts to beginners and serial quitters to the newest member who just joined today have a Special place in my heart as well! 

The BEST LIFE you can give yourself is the gift of FREEDOM from Addiction! Be safe this Holiday Season, protect your lungs, heart, ....yes, your whole body Smoke FREE because Life is just Wonderful and way too short for self-destruction! 

God Bless You Everyone!
