Just went over 17 years smoke free, one of the hardest things I ever did, and one of the best.
Thanks for this message; you and your friend could save somebody else today.

You're right, anyone who still smokes needs to figure out how to stop.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
