3 YEAR Groundhog Day Anniversary!


12 years ago 0 823 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I joined this site on Jan 5, 2011 just three hours before I heard the news that my Dad had passed away.  I resolved to come out of my 'smoking closet' and made a promise to my Dad that day that I would quit forever!  It took me a few weeks to get it right - I had to drive NOT ONE PUFF  . . . EVER! into my head and heart and make that realization STICK before I managed to kick the habit altogether.  So I picked Groundhog day as my quit smoking Anniversary.  
It's an easy Anniversary date to remember and goes like this:  "If the Groundhog sees his shadow - I will NOT smoke . . . . and if the Groundhog doesn't see his shadow - I will NOT smoke!"  
It's working so far! I'm proud to say I've had Not One Puff Since!
Thank you all so much for offering your continued support in this very close knit and thoughtful smoke free community! It is an invaluable service and I'm grateful to have found SSC when I needed to.
