Thanks Lady for your quote today. I know that God doesn't waste suffering and that He makes something wonderful there. My daddy passed away a week ago and I have been suffering. There were many times in the last week that I wanted to throw my quit to the wind but didn't. I struggled, fought and came out the other side and now I am back to help. Hope all is well with you - sorry to be so absent lately - but as you can see there were many emotional things going on. How's the golf??

We all have our own hardships in life. When we experience a difficult situation and make it through to the other side we can then relate to others that are having the same experience. We are all members of the quitting group here. We have struggled, fought, survived and now it is time to pass it along to others so that they may join us. We are given countless opportunity everyday to helps others along the way. I read something this morning that I want to share with you because it really touched my heart. There is a purpose in it all, and your hurt isn�t wasted; it can provide support for someone else hurting. [quote] God does not waste suffering� If He plows, it is because He purposes a crop.

So sorry to hear of your loss Island girl. I dread that day, I still have both my parents. I will pray for comfort for you my friend. Contact me if you need to talk. Golf is great! A wonderful replacement for smoking. I played my best game ever this past Saturday. If I could just stay on the course I would be happy. Great stress releaver and get away. When are we going to play? ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 514 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 10,294 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1799 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 45 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 43 [B]Seconds:[/B] 24
