Ok shift over on the deck, make way for our hugglemonster Action :)

[action]

Aww the english gentleman has boarded the boat :)

 

Congrats on your anniversary of smobriety for a year. That's epic news and so well deserved. Occassionally you see someone who just goes the extra mile because they can. It's pretty rare but you are definately in that bracket. Always going above and beyond, responding to people and helping them make sense of their quits. On a personal note thanks for your involvement in my journey from the very 1st post I did. 

 

Hope they got decent booze lined up mate and that you do something to celebrate this massive milestone which started such a change in you and tasha's life. Truly an inspirational quit from a bit of man flu :)

Thank you Marti, you always have such a way with words! You might not know, but I have drawn strength from you along this journey - seeing some of your challenges, and how you handle them is truly inspiring... I am so happy that you are at 7 months yourself :)

 

And for the record... It wasn't a 'bit' of man flu, that was full blown, 110% flu we are talking about ;) :p

It has been my privilege to hang out with you on these boards Action and people have really benefitted from your help. I hope you are celebrating right now as you worked for it!

Beacon is happy for Action! Meow! Cats don't smoke. It's bad for their fur.

Aww Melanie and beautiful beacon, too. You have really been there for me this whole time - one of the first to respond to my first post, and always making sure that I got my celebrations! I clung onto your coattails for a while, and you helped pull me through some though spots in my quit.

 

Thank you (both of you) for being my friends :wub:
