I was surprised !


17 years ago 0 15 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Yesterday, I went to play Bingo at my favorite bingo hall, and to my surprise, a number of smokers came by the table I was at (in the NON smoking section), and congratulated me on quitting... some even gave me "high fives" Only drawback was we had to walk through the smoking section to get to the restroom and snack bar, BUT, the owners told me they were working on fixing that problem.. because now there are MORE NON SMOKERS than smokers. It makes me feel "good all over to know that even smokers are proud that "I" quit...what they don't know is that I'm going to try and convince them to quit too.. Just wanted to share this wimpy little tidbit of my day yesterday and let you know that I'm proud of everyone here. Keep up the good work! I'm going to watch the SuperBowl today ---smoke-free--for the first time since it has been played !! Yep I was smoking before the first Superbowl was played !

Good job Stillgotit! Don't you remember being a smoker "wishing" you were as strong as quitters that you met? Well guess what? You are one of those strong people now, you probably always were, but just didn't know it. So did you rake in any dough at Bingo to put with your meter savings? I just past the $100 mark and was so excited! Every day I give my husband my meter updates - he looks at me like I am crazy but I am proud of myself! You should be proud of yourself too - after all, you still got it! Enjoy the Super Bowl!

I've never previously seen a superbowl. Yesterday I picked it up at 1/2 time on. Thought I might hear from you today.

Stillgotit, Thanks for sharing this experience with us. I'm sure many smokers will soon be approaching you to know all about your quitting experience and hopefully a few will follow your lead. Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team
