Daily Pledge, Bonfires and Quit Celebrations: Traditions born from the members
It’s a New Year. A new chance to begin anew, if you need to. Or an opportunity to re-new a pledge of commitment to a long-term quit to sustain it. Or if this is Day One of Year 2021 for you because you made a New Year’s Resolution - this is your moment in time to enable freedom to happen. It’s all good. However and whyever you’re here to make a pledge, it’s good. Stick to it! Really stick to it. No matter what. No excuses allowed, right? RIGHT????!!!!

The Daily Promises
Monday’s Promise: Responsibility
I will take complete responsibility for my health, my happiness, my success, and my life, and will not blame others for my problems or predicaments.
Tuesday’s Promise: Accountability
I will not allow low self-esteem, self-limiting beliefs, or the negativity of others to prevent me from achieving my authentic goals and from becoming the person I am meant to be.
Wednesday’s Promise: Determination
I will do the things I’m afraid to do, but which I know should be done. Sometimes this will mean asking for help to do that which I cannot do by myself.
Thursday’s Promise: Contribution
I will earn the help I need in advance by helping other people now, and repay the help I receive by serving others later.
Friday’s Promise: Resilience
I will face rejection and failure with courage, awareness, and perseverance, making these experiences the platform for future acceptance and success.
Saturday’s Promise: Perspective
Though I might not understand why adversity happens, by my conscious choice I will find strength, compassion, and grace through my trials.
Sunday’s Promise: Faith
My faith and my gratitude for all that I have been blessed with will shine through in my attitudes and in my actions.

Hey wlh. Thank you for reaching out you hand. I will take it and extend mine to the next person. No smoking today.
I take your hand and offer my other to the next quit winner- now I have no hands left to pick up a cig. Just for today, I will not smoke. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery- all we have is today.
1Coming up on 14 years of freedom, and I STILL think it’s important to try to be helpful to other quit-winners, no matter how much “time” one has.
Hi Bo_Sparks - I am honored to take your hand and humbly offer my other hand to the next person. I pledge Not One Puff Ever. May 2021 begin and continue fresh and clean.

Wow 364 days strong, way go to go SuzyQ411
This is it! I have cut back tremendously and I stopped vaping in my car months ago. I go for over 12 hours a day no vape. But the time is now to stop it all together. With your help, I can do this.
