~~If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes. Only then would you see how truly remarkable you are.~~ Unknown
I don't have many phone numbers of those on Ex I've known for about 15 years now 🙂 I don't email much, don't get on here much, don't write many letters even. But I want you to know I haven't forgotten you. Any of you. Those who shared their stories with me, those who have supported, encouraged, challenged, or listened.
You are truly a hero. Marilyn, with your positivity and your energy and joy. Nancy with your charm and your warmth and your support. Guilia, you are always beautiful in my eyes. Your connection to those who need someone to hear them is truly a beautiful gift and I admire and respect you more than I can say. Diane Joy, your faith and goodness have touched my soul and changed me forever. Tommy, you've not only changed my life you've changed this site and made it accessible to all who wanted to be accepted. Dale, you have always had a talent for entertaining and you've certainly done that here!! You shine.
There are so many others that have forever made a difference in my life. BeeJay, I love you!! Kathy, your generous spirit and kind heart are the best! Colleen, your courage and ability to reach others through simple words inspire everyone. Thomas, I don't even know if you are here anymore but from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!
I can't reach everyone who touched my heart here. Missy, true talent!! Rick, superman extraordinaire!! I will always love your many kindnesses!! Donna, thank you! Sootie, I wouldn't be here without your support and encouragement and I love you!
I am grateful for all of you. For this site where I learned about addiction and I learned about coping and I learned about nicotine and I learned about me. Next month I'll have 11 years quit and I still am so incredibly thankful. Humbled by the truly amazing stories that are shared here and honored that I was worth you all reaching out to me in my many hours of need!
For those now quitting or thinking of quitting or trying to quit, of course you can!! You are worth it and you deserve to live without being a slave to nicotine.
You are all remarkable in my eyes. And I may not say it often or well, but thank you. Truly and forever, I will thank you for helping me find my quit. Much love to you!
