Happy March everyone, welcome to the Daily Pledge in the Celebrations & Events community where we can meet daily to take another person's hand and make our commitment stronger.

How to pledge:

Go to the top of the page and click the link for Latest Reply.
Or you can go to the last page by clicking on the last page of the pagination links.
Click on the Reply bubble and make your pledge to the person at the end and then offer your free hand to the next pledge.
You've made your pledge. Come back tomorrow and pledge again.

As you go through your day you know that you have these two people with you and all of you are keeping each other strong. How cool is that!

Thank you Laura for offering your hand to me. Today is my 3rd day of my quit and once I get through the first hour or so I'm pretty good. I offer my hand to the next person in line with the strength I have.

Hey LindaK_Mc! Congratulations on your three days quit! In my mind, if I could do 72 hours, I could quit. Period. Truly, congratulations and welcome. Here's a blog that a member posted yesterday, and when I read it, I immediately thought about how helpful it would have been for me to read it in my first few days. Hope it helps! Here's what smoking DOESN'T do for you...
