Way to go those of us that are still Kickin. I know there are others that need to check in with the group, but I am kinda bummed that there are so many missing. I don;t get it how did the Jokers get so many in OCTOBER when there seemed to be tons of newbies like me at New Years? THanks for keepin an eye out and a word of support Mad Englishman.
FYI my secont 7 days is tomorrow and I already got my wife on board for a reward. ;)

Hi Guys and girls, just been reading your thread and noticed something interesting.
Stubow produced a list of all the Ash Kickers that had sighned up at some point to the group. It came to 43 names if my counting works.
Later on, there is a very much smaller list of 13 names (one of which was a late joiner taken in by your very hospitable group).
That means that about 30% of you remain.
There are two ways to look at that statistic.........what a shame that 70% of the group could not succeed on this attempt. Lets hope they come back having learnt from the experience.
The other way to look at it is WHOOPPEEEEEE!!!!, way to go guys and girls cos you are the ones that have made it! About 30% of people succeed on a quit (seen it somewhere in the stats that I have read).
So, I don't care if you have craves, I don't care if you have bad days......it all pales into insignifcance cos you folks don't smoke!
Brent :)

Brent,
Very good observation. Although sad, you can count on a few dropping out for one reason or the other. Thats just the facts of the stats.
Gaga, there are 2 ash kickin jokers and 1 survivor ash kickin joker still lurking out here. We WILL see you at the beach. :)
Have a nice smoke free day.
Tony :)
