So, what's with the "Alice in Wonderland" theme? Well, there is a club for people who quit in March of 2002 and it's called Madhatters 02. I have met the most wonderful and amazing people there. Even when I briefly fell off the wagon, they continued to support my efforts and helped me get a handle on it. They are regular folks with hearts of gold and I love them with all my heart (and lungs).
Here we all are in Vegas (that's me- top row center- black sweatshirt)!
It is now 2006 and we have been non-smokers for 4 incredible years! Many of us still check in and keep in touch. Our friendships are as important to me as the healthy benefits of quitting. I hope I let them know how much they all mean to me.
