The Stop Smoking Centre is a moderated group. The moderators are here oft times at unusual and odd hours. The moderators help, encourage and stand with us as we move through the journey from addiction to freedom. Your messages have provided hope for me at what sometimes seems the darkest hour. My gratitude goes to you.
I want to thank each of you for how wonderful and encouraging you have been to me and so many others in this journey. So I will simply thank each of you. And the Stop Smoking Centre without this place I know would be smoking my pack a day.
