I got a pm from someone asking if we could send cards to Youngatheart (Nancy) at the hospital like Teddy did for Skygirl

Here's what I'm thinking.

I would never publish anyone's address here and I don't want to get into sending multiple shipments and miss stragglers

SO

If you would like to send a card to her, PM me and I will give you her address. I'm sure one of her daughters could stop by the house and check her mail and get it to her if she is still in the hospital.

Or

You might just want to PM her mailbox on the site here with your get well thoughts and wishes. She will get them when she's back online.

🙂

Here's one picture from our road trip yesterday

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
