With that Intention I make this Pledge.
*If I smoke a cigarette I will be honest and admit I have.
*If I decide to keep smoking I will leave this group because,I will be a disgrace to not only myself, but to the pioneers who made their final escape from the clutches of nicotine.
I AM going to BE a pioneering woman once and for all!
BE WELL.

I feel that just coming across this website was in someway magical - I too, have many \"issues\" - though - for me, the one that needs no more b..l - is the smoking - I too feel like I can be eternally honest bloging on - I don\'t have to be polyanna - If I smoke I will confess - there is no right or wrong.
Thanks
