INDEPENDENCE BONFIRE 2012

Opening July-4-2012

Closing------???????? When we’re DONE!


 

Big Old Fire

 

Simple instructions for the bonfire:

      
  1. Using your quit counter or mathematics find/calculate the number of un-smoked cigarettes you have totaled since quitting
  2.   
  3. Come to the bonfire bringing said number from instruction 1 with you
  4.   
  5. Care fully approach the massive blaze and throw all of those un-smoked killers into the fire by answering the BLOG with whatever dedication note you may wish to type. (note: remembering those that have died from smoking related illness is quite appropriate at this time…try to reflect on the reality of this addiction)
  6.   
  7. In your post include the number of un-smoked cigarettes for you and friends that may not be able to attend (this is adding them to the bonfire)
  8.   
  9. Mingle, find some food, stop by one of the coolers, get involved any way you like BUT NO SMOKING…. (the only thing allowed to smoke IS THE FIRE)
  10.   
  11. And that my friends…….IS the bonfire


 

 

NOW CELEBRATE YOUR

INDEPENDENCE!

 

We’re looking to get 1,000,000 un-smoked cancer sticks dumped onto this fire

Bring them and dump them in here (don’t forget to post your numbers)

I’ll add them up…..let’s see how many we can get

 

Tell everyone to come and join us!

Happy Independence Bonfire

 

Freedom is a choice

Independence is PRICELESS!


 

For Future Reference I've created a BONFIRE group, anyone interested in being automatically invited to these shindigs please join the group, which will make announcing Bonfires to many people at the same time MUCH easier. Regardless though everyone is welcome to come and burn those nasty un-smoked cigarettes here and there, but I'll bet you have to join the group to post......... 🙂

I am throwing 200 cigarettes into the bonfire that I would have smoked in the last 13 days! I am so happy that I am not smoking! I am finding it not that difficult so far either. What a celebration for me and for all you non smokers out there.Hope you had a wonderful day!

Hi Everybody... I have not been here for a long time.. I am bringing a few unsmoked cigs to toss in... 28, 841   of them which represents 2 years ...7 months.. 2 weeks and 4 days of being free after 40 years of addiction.....I am so thankful for everybody here that helped me keep going.. My first go round was Feb 2009.. I made it til April.. Then after all the encouragment  from you all,  I was finally able to lay them down for good in November 2009..I have never had a withdrawl and I have never regretted my decision to quit.. I truly BecameAn Ex!!!!!!!!

So, I hear we made the 1,000,000 mark and then some!  AWESOME!  Sorry I missed most of the party but sounds and looks like everyone's been having a great time.  Food looks good and nice cold drinks. Yum!

Are we having "fire"works later?  I just heard some go off here.
