I didn't know that this world existed until someone at FFS asked about it recently! I am so happy to see so many of the folks that have inspired me along my little path and so many other, positive folks that I have yet to meet. Whoever Kevin is, wow, you sure are giving with your free time and expertise.

(Gee, I hope that I'm not crashing a private party. Then again, I have done that in the past and there's always someone to talk with. Eventually no one notices the difference.)

So... I've got two more weeks of my semester. Projects due left and right, still in a cast and ya know what? Well, I have not smoked! This is the FIRST ever semester that I have not smoked. It only crosses my mind as I pass through the crowds of smokers just outside the campus buildings. And what crosses my mind is not a craving, but relief that I've made it through the smoke.

Seeing all of you and skimming some of the most supportive words that I have read in a long while... well, it's just what I needed to make a big push to crank out another paper. All this, and a really easily-navigated site. What more could I ask for!

You all mean the world to me.

--Zoey (I'll put my fish up later. Always the procrastinator.)

Glad to see you made it Zoey. The end of the semester is such a nightmare and it is easy to get too tired and irritable to be strong so I am especially proud of you. I am looking forward to the return of the fish. Remember to stop in your crazy rush to the end of the term and take some time to take care of you.

Howdy Zoey from one Michigander to another

Isn't this site great. I am a newly quit too and I can still somewhat post on ffs but find this one much easier to access. No constant log on for every little thing. It was driving me crazy.

Well I just wanted to say welcome and great on the quit keep it up.

Of course I remember the fish. Now see why we need to have graphics. I remember the images that represent the people better that I do their names. Sorry Zoey

Hi Zoey,

Isn't this site great!!! If it weren't for all the changes at FFS, I would never have ventured "away from home."
Welcome and I'm happy to see your blow fish...he is so cute! You are doing so well with your quit...and ALL the others things you have on your plate...and I'm not talking food! Very Happy

Hey Zoey....Wow is an understatement! I really miss you and your fish!

What a wonderful world we live in when we can talk about being non smokers and have our graphics! Laughing
