When I had my last cigarette I did not write a letter but instead said one thing "Good-bye old friend". For me that was the truth, as toxic as this friend was, it was a friend who was always there for me, thru thick and thin, good and bad, happy and sad. Now, I am happy to say, I no longer need friends like that today.

Yup!!! Did the same thing on the same day and never looked back!!! My letter was a bit rougher on the nasty cancer sticks, though! My goodbye to the left overs was a bit more violent, too!! Oh well, lost and gone for ever!!! :) Jim [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 750 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $123.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 12 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

[color=Blue]Sylvie, as a matter of fact I did just THAT on the 1st day of my smoke free life ! This might sound kind of weird, I wrote a note which went something like this - "To all of 'you' left over, (the cig's left over in a pack) I'm saying goodbye FOREVER ! You are now no longer part of my life ! My life will NOT be cut short by you it will now be prolonged as a result of me getting rid of you !" I stuffed the note inside the left over pack and threw it down the garbage chute. Strange huh ? LOL ! But it felt so freakin' good :) And here I am 30 days later with no regrets and feeling like I can do anything ! It really gave me a sense of closure.

Members, The finality of a letter can help you achieve closure. Start the letter and get the closure you need. Do you need to close a chapter in your life? Do you need to say goodbye to someone or something? You don�t need to send the letter, only have it written to receive the closure you are looking for. Have you said goobye to your smoking life yet?
