I think one of these must be right.

Enjoy your celebration!

Congratulations on your first year of freedom!

Congratulations Sally!

Welcome back. Maybe try writing a list of why you are quitting and the positive benefits as they occur to you would be helpful. If you have your goals written down, they will be easy to remember when your addict mind tries to derail your quit. You can also write a pre-respond to your SOS so others can help you if needed.

You can do it, jump!

A problem for me as well; it is for sure less expensive. I'm glad you had a nice time with your company.

The craves can't hurt you and they will pass. Try to dismiss thoughts of smoking as quickly as possible. A good attitude helps and knowledge is power.

Wow! It must really be good if it even surprised you. I would go with the duck at Brennans.

Enjoy the gumbo!

Good Job! Give yourself a nice treat today to celebrate. It never stops being special.

You must tell yourself that smoking is not an option. You can do anything else, but no more smoking. Most of us are/were just like you when we first gave up smoking; we had no extraordinary abilities. What we did have was a firm commitment to quitting.

Good Job Comrade! Julie should be the 25th and Stu the 27th.

Saturday starts the year of the rat! Here's what Wikipedia had to say: The Jade Emperor and the race for zodiacal place[edit] A popular modern story has it that the order of the animals in the twelve-year cycle was due to a competition between animal candidates, held by the ruler of Heaven, Earth, and Hell -- the Jade Emperor. According to one version of this tale, the emperor's advisors selected twelve candidates from among the animal types, including the rat and the cat. The winner was to be selected based upon merit, as to personal appearance, lifestyle, and contributions to the world. Before the competition, the cat asked the rat for a wake up call in order to get to the show on time; however, the rat apprehensive of the competition, especially as to the cat's apparent beauty, did not wake the cat, who then overslept (and, ever afterwards, the embittered cat became a ratter and a mouser). The Jade Emperor mystified as to why there were only eleven candidate animals to show up inquired of his servants. These servants hastily acquired the first possible replacement animal which they encountered, (a pig). After the start of the competition, the rat achieved first place by performing on the flute while upon the back of the ox. Impressed, the Jade Emperor placed the rat at the beginning of the twelve year cycle (and the ox second, for being so generous as to allow the rat to play the flute upon the ox's back). Then the other animals were placed in order according to the Jade Emperor's judgment. You and Wee fluffy are clearly in league with the cats.

Good Job!
