Boo Quit Date: March 9, 2016 Posted July 20, 2017 Quitting smoking...it's what every smoker desires. We've already established that the act of quitting is dead simple. You simply refrain from putting cigarettes in your mouth and lighting them on fire. And repeat. The benefits of quitting are many: freedom, improved health, more money in your pocket, etc. The benefits do not end there. In fact, the benefits only begin there. The process, while simple, is a bold action; a step in the right direction. You commit to leave the rut of comfort behind to begin a journey of self improvement. The process can strip you bare emotionally. It sounds harsh, but has a real upside. The process will force you to deal with things that have been swept under the rug. You will have to remove your head from the sand and face the truth. The process will force you to confront the bullstuff that you have tried to pass off as gospel truth. The truth will set you free, but it will make you uncomfortable for a while. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Addiction is a link in a chain, a chain of self-destructive behavior and self-defeating thoughts. You break that link and the chain that holds you back weakens. Hold on, that's when life starts to get interesting. Potential becomes reality. Confidence begets confidence. Strength begets strength. The process, one that begins with a singular purpose and commitment, sets off a series of ripples that will eventually impact every facet of your life. If you sit back and meekly accept that you are a hopeless addict, what else will you simply accept in life? If you decide you deserve better and boldly commit to the process, what other bold actions to improve your lot in life will you take on? Trust the process. Embrace the challenge. Enjoy the ride.

@MLMR Sorry I wasn’t around to help you through your struggle last week. I hope that you are back to being you and stronger than you were before because of it. Next time you will know that you had those men lined up and kicked every one of their behinds. LOL They have no power over you now. See you around.

Darling Dutch Woman, You veer from the path, you might stumble but you pick yourself up, dust yourself off. I've seen you! and I believe in your resolve. Today. Now. Your footsteps follow your footsteps and another minute, another hour, another day of conquering addiction brings power.

Oh darling Smut Sister! Congratulations to YOU. I love you so much and thank you for all you do! S

Congrats Doreen!! You are a true inspiration Thank you for years of support, you have helped change many lives here!

Happy 11 th anniversary Doreen! You are a great cheerleader and motivator to so many! Thank you!!!

Woohoo Big Congrats Doreen on 11 years. What an amazing quit. Thank you for all you do here too.

Congratulations Doreen. You were a major figure in my quit. So happy and grateful for you!

Congratulations Doreen! 11 years!!! So thankful for you. You helped me so much when I joined this site and you’ve consistently done the same for so many others. You are a treasure!

11 years! What an amazing achievement and gift to both yourself and your family. Thank you for being the light that guides so many others on their journey to freedom. Look around the train at those you've helped. Look at all the lives you've enriched with your humour and determination to never leave anyone behind. Even when I vanish into the chaos you've always been with me, guiding me and bringing a smile to an often dark day. Not all superhero's were capes. Some wear chique concave bobs, wierd Fridays and talk in the cutest Scouse accent. Thank you for being a beacon to so many.

Gday Doreen 11 years Woow…… thanks for bringing the human touch. And just being… you. Thanks Champion!

Great job Doreen.Thanks for all you do around here. Perhaps you should have a bit of a rest and relax from chicks and sticks for a few weeks.uYou know you deserve it.

They were amazing, I can still remember that 1977 concert.....geez it was so long ago and I was so young...LOL!!! Freddie was great and IMO the greatest front man that ever lived, although he may be tied with Robert Plant.

Wow !! I never got to see them Live , your so lucky to have been twice … Watching Freddie still brings a tear

I saw them back in 1977 at Madison Square Garden...what a show. They opened with Tie Your Mother Down. I saw them again in 2014 with Adam Lambert, he was good but definitely no Freddie!

Thank you for your kind messages … I still get a buzz watching a newbie reach that Lido Deck Meeting you guys .. The Pleasure has been all mine . QG… Queen is my favourite band too I sang along this morning having breakfast

So happy for you, Doreen! Congratulations on eleven years and thanks for lending a hand to so many along the way. You’re da bomb, baby!

Brilliant Doreen. You're a legend.

Congratulations Doreen on such an epic quit. Plus, thank you for all support you gave me in the early stages of my quit. I got something just for you.

I think you might know this from back in the day Doreen! I know I certainly do!!! My favorite band!!

Congratulations on 11 years smoke free @Doreensfree and thanks for all that you do to support others and keep this site going. Celebrate big today.

Thank you Everyone… It’s hard to believe it’s 11 yrs , it’s flown in the blink of an eye … I still remember my early Quit when I counted every minute of every day , now the years are whizzing by. Ive met some Wonderful friends along the way ,who will stay in my heart ,some are still here and some have gone off to have a great smoke free life ,I owe my success to you all snd all the folks who have taken their seat on the Train . Quitting is the best feeling ever …never doubt yourself

Congratulations Doreen!!! 11 years is amazing!! Such a wonderful accomplishment! Thank you so much for all your encouragement, friendship and help you gave me this past year when I was struggling so much in the beginning of my quit! You definitely made it easier for me and I am very happy to call you my friend! All the Best and have a wonderful day!!

Congratulations, dear friend,on Eleven years!! Who knew when we met 11 years ago we would still be fast friends (and smoke free, of course}? Thank you for all the love and laughs along the way, and for all you do here for others. You are the best!!!

Probably the Toronto Blue Jay's greatest moment ever! 2nd World Series win in a row 1993 and that was the last one
