   Celebrate Being Free!!

We're looking to get 1,000,000 unsmoked cigarettes dumped into this fire. Post your numbers and I will tally them up throughout the night. Let's see how many we can get!!
  
                                    
       
        
          This is how to do your calculations for your unsmoked. 100 Days, and you were smoking a pack a day(20 cigarettes) You would have 100 X 20 = 2,000 unsmoked cigarettes to throw in the fire! If you need math help let me know!!      
        
         
                                                                                     
              
               
                 Fire burns til Sunday at midnight.

This is a fun party! Kinda sorry I didn't come sooner-it's gonna be hard to catch up with you guys on the Margaritas (my fave). I'm tossing 1420 sickerettes into the flames, and will bring another 20 for tomorrow night. Compliments to the hostesses with the mostesses. You've done a great job with the food, drinks, music and FUN! Party on, dudes !  BTW- I see there's an old NewMe at the party, so I guess I'll sign off as the NewNewMe:)

About the Author
I am 51 yrs old and live in the Greater Cleveland area. I started smoking at a young age. I think it was more peer pressure at that time and just a few cigarettes a day until i became "LEGAL" to smoke. I then started smoking a pack or more a day, using stress as my excuse to smoke more. In reality, I realized after i quit smoking that there is no excuses for smoking. I am approaching 4 yrs next month, but I still have to work to protect my quit. I am here on Ex faithfully helping others and in return helps me. We call it here on Ex "Collateral Kindness" here is a link to my blog, 1 yr later that explained my trials in the the beginning of my quit. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/ShawnP-blog/2013/03/14/one-year-later
