Debbie - Free and Healing for Eighteen Days, 10 Hours and 42 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 1 Day and 14 Hours, by avoiding the use of 461 nicotine delivery devices that would have cost me $138.45.

I add my 461 death sticks to your bonfire and happily watch them burn in (double hockey sticks)....

A bonfire on Sunset Beach tonight! See you there! It will represent my 44 years of addiction & slavery, 44 years that literally went up in smoke. I won't have another 44 years, but i pray what we do have left will be healthy, happy, and grateful. I smoked 10 packs per week for atleast 25 of those years.
Bye bye bye, baby, ba ba bye.

I'm adding my 4711 cigs that I would have smoked. Can't believe that many in just under 4 months.

The bonfire is getting so hot all the chocolate on the cakes is melting.

well, lets see, as of the end of the day, i would have 100 cigs to contribute to the fire. in all reality, though, it would have been more as i WOULD HAVE had drinks at some point, which would have added another pack or so. SO I WILL CONTRIBUTE 140 CIGS TO THE FIRE. it blows my mind to see these numbers, 5,834 sounds CRAZY when you actually add it up. i wonder how many ive actually smoked in my "career"..i will have to see. i agree that we should stand back a bit from this fire, it makes me dizzy to think about all that tar and nicotine and chemicals floating around, haha.
