Just wanted to let you know I got a text from Tommy and he said "I'm fighting for all I'm worth". Let us continue praying for someone so dear to our hearts.
I belive in the power of prayer and Tommy has a whole lot of prayer going up for him! I'm glad Giulia got to talk to him and that he is felling better, even if it's just a weeeee bit, that's an improvement that I will continue by the hour.
Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage.

My name is Betty and I was born and raised in Kentucky where tobacco was a way of life. I started smoking full time by age 14. The first time I can remember smoking I was 9. I have been on the road to quitting for several years. I quit once for 6 weeks and then thought I would smoke just one. It only took a few weeks till I was smoking full time again. That is why remembering NOT ONE PUFF EVER is so important. It will never be just one puff or just one cigarette. Nicotine addiction doesn't work like that, it is an addiction, feed it and you become addicted.
Here are a couple of links to reading materials that I recommend to ALL who would like to quit smoking:
