It's been a while since I've had time to spend here with all you great quitters celebrating all our amazing milestones. I certainly find it hard to drop in without saying hello to all of you.
A little birdie told me there was a celebration going on here for someone special this week. So I gathered up a few things and made my way over for a quick visit. I've got party hats, magic boas, dark chocolate and some really yummy wine, but there are so many celebrations going on that I simply can't keep up!!! I love seeing all the new faces and glimpsing some of those who helped me through my quit and even a few of you who've kept the path clear for those who journey after them.
Whether you've been quit for half an hour or ten years, you're doing something simply amazing for yourself. I know if you just stick with it you'll enjoy the ultimate freedom of never having to worry about what a stinking cigarette is doing ever again. Whoooo hoooo, it feels great! In the meantime, NOPE and reward yourself at every opportunity.
Speaking of rewards, traditionally the beach here at SSC is reserved for 100 day celebrations. But it's summer, the weather's great and I think we should have an open house this weekend for the newbies so they can catch a glimpse of what's in store for them when they actually do hit the beach for real. Come on folks, put on your bestest bikini's, swim trunks or wet suits, grab a few beach things and lets throw a non smoking beach party the likes of which have never been seen here before. I'll get it started.
**** adjusts the new red bikini and matching no-smoking tiara; sets up some lounge chairs, tables and umbrellas; opens the wine and chills the drinks; arranges the no-calorie chocolate and snacks on a platter; lights the citronella candles, tosses magic boas into the crowd coming ashore from SSC; reaches over and cranks up the music while keeping an eye on the grill as it heats up****
