The Pledge

You know...I look at this board after an ENTIRE day (okay...Eastern time...after 5 PM) and there are only 15 people that pledged.I was reminded recently that sometimes we Oldies...me in particular...sell ourselves short as to the influence we can have. The importance to post not just when someone fails,stop smoking, but also to remind folks it's not only possible, but the BEST to beat smoking. That reminded me of a friend of mine from a couple years ago. Flyin-Free (Todd) sent me a message at one point when I said I really didn't have "time" to post...reminded me that it didn't take but a minute to make the daily pledge...to affirm the decision to remain a quitter. Well that hit home then and I did post...nearly every daily pledge. Often starting them. And yes,Herbal cigarettes, it really was a daily affirmation-- a new contract with myself and this community that I would remain smoke free for at least one more day.So every quitter...new, tweener, and old. Take the pledge...make the committment. It's worth it.KTQ-doc
