John, You have a way with the ladies me thinks :)
Sue, funny you should ask. I've been writing for hours and hours and hours this one message. Its just a lot shorter (like 1500 words shorter) than the original. :)
Kelly, you are a breath of fresh air! Yes you are spot on with the rewards thing. You put it a much better way than I did.
Unhooked, glad you kept the new picture. I would have said 25 and not a day older. You always look like you're having fun in the pics. And it is always sunny. There was me thinking 6ft of snow all year round :) :)
My aunt lives in Edmonton and she was always talking about snow shoes and ploughing the drive in her letters. So maybe thats where I got that mental picture from.
Of course, the wildlife in Canada are extremely intelligent. Ever heard of a bear or penguin writing on a stop smoking site?
Well, I spent hours writing an essay about rocks, quit buddies, over analysis et al, but decided to delete it all and just write...
I would like to thank you all for convincing me that I can possibly (even with my supersized junkie) carry on the non smoking way without my real life quit buddy, for not using words like 'No hope in hades' or at least not posting that :) It may be like pushing a jumbo jet up mount Everest but the good news is that it only takes a minor bit of encouragement sometimes to get me pushing again.
Now so what secret does this Victoria have? She's not a closet smoker is she? :)
