In re-reading this post, I realized that you were just 3 days into your quit when you posted this very profound entry. It goes to show that anyone no matter what the quit time has the ability to affect someone's life. Thank you, BillBz. Rusty :)

Oh my goodness! I was thinking about you the other day. I had pulled up my quit journal and this was copied into it: [i] BillBz 1/9/2005 @ 11:15:00 AM Posts: 10 Joined: 1/7/2005 This morning as I started up my umpteenth journal, I ran across this quote. I wrote it in my journal, I rewrote it to make it personal, I decided to share it, hopefully it will help someone else in their recovery. You gain experience, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living And I rewrote it as: I GAIN EXPERIENCE, COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE BY EVERY EXPERIENCE IN WHICH I REALLY STOP TO LOOK AT MY FEAR IN THE FACE. I AM ABLE TO SAY TO MYSELF, I LIVED THROUGH THIS HORROR. I CAN TAKE THE NEXT THING THAT COMES ALONG. I MUST DO THE THING I THINK I CANNOT DO.[/i] I'm so glad you've come back to visit and I hope your health is better than ever. I hope you'll be inviting us all to the wedding!
