Hey Nancy, 

It's great to hear from you! 

Thank you for your kind message and support. I'm glad to be able to do this and keep it going. I'm happy that we can continue to support and help new quitters and continue to be here with each other. 

Huge congratulations on your future trip and what a wonderful way to celebrate and reward yourself! Though it's not until next year, I hope you have a blast when you do go. 

I hope you and your family are all doing well also. 

Have a great day.  

Happy May.  Just back from Cruising car show in OC MD. Just the 2 of us. Wow been a while since last no kid vacation. Haha. Was great. Sunny time. Summer is almost here.  Golf ‍??BBQ and good drinks !!!  I hope everyone is doing well. Take care. Keep in touch.  

Hi everyone. I hope all is good. I was just thinking of our good bonding times on this site. Take care.  Enjoy a snack  

Hey Vic, 

Great to hear from you!  I'm sorry I missed replying to you in the spring. Your trip to OC sounded wonderful. I hope you've been enjoying a great summer too. 

The pizza's great and you know those chocolate chips are yummy. Can't resist chocolate.  Just missing a drink but fortunately I've brought one with me.Thank you for the delicious food you always bring. Sooo good! 

I miss these get-togethers too. I hope everyone shows back up soon. I also hope you're keeping the grill ready for the big celebration next month. Four years! Can you believe that next year will be five years and we'll all have to exchange those keys for wings? Well, Mrissa really wouldn't have to, she's had the best of both from the get go, with her winged key. I love that. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone here again next month for the party. It will be great catching up with everyone again. Since you're in charge of the food and drinks, I'll bring along some music too.  

Do you have anything special planned to celebrate your four year quit-versary? 

I'm looking forward to the milder temperatures with the changing of the season. I love it when it's not too hot or too cold. 

The preseason games are going on and it won't be long until the official start of the season. Did you see the brawl? I know you're looking forward to the game tomorrow night.

I hope you're doing well. This is the second week I've not been feeling too good. The doc. gave me some medicine though, so I'm looking forward to feeling better again soon. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and post this but we'll talk more later and I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead. 

Have a great day.  

CONGRATULATIONS 'SeptemberAsh-Kickers 2018'! Celebrating four years smoke free this month!  I  hope everyone is well and that you're off celebrating or have plans to celebrate. Can you believe we'll all be celebrating five years next? Amazing isn't it? Life goes on and we move on with it but I do hope you will all log back on from time to time, as you get a chance. I agree with Vic's last post and I miss hearing from everyone too. Thinking of you, congratulating you all, and hoping to hear from you again soon. Keep in touch as you can and best wishes to each of you wherever you are.  

Have a great day.  

Hey Wuffie, TigerWolfs, and Nancy, 

I couldn't cc everyone on the congratulations post. It would only let me cc three people, so I'm doing it this way. Hugs.  

Have a great day.  

Thank you! 4 years is very exciting & I am so happy I quit! Never thought I’d say that!!!  Hope you are all well. Next year (5 years) I will be cruising the Panama Canal - so excited for that bucket list trip. This group got me through a difficult time. The support & education about quitting & all the physical changes that occur, helped me be successful! According to my smoke app, I have not smoked 29,028.5 cigarettes! OMG!!! Congratulations to all us Ash Kickers!  Love, Nancy

Yes time goes by so quickly.

It makes such an enormous difference to focus on your health.  Smoking is bad and I am glad to have escaped its clutches.

I have been reading some great books on nutrition, and it is so interesting to see the modern science overturning popular beliefs

Same with climate change, constant new thinking emerging about building a healthy planet.
