I am bringing this thread back up because today is my "turning" day. I have been on ECF for a year and will officially become a vet in a couple of hours.
Since this is in the New Members section, I need to tell all of the new members who post here, that your stories are inspirational. There have been times when I didn't know if I could stay off cigarettes, but reading your stories, sharing your enthusiasm, always gave me the lift that I needed.
To all of the long-time members who help the new members, I am also inspired and touched by your willingness to help and pay it forward. I can't imagine ECF without you. It makes this a place full of welcome and warmth.
swedishfish {{{{hugs}}}} It gives me great joy to say, I remember when.
Lisa B, now a vet, I still couldn't have done it without you!!
Anyway, thanks to you all. Almost a year since I smoked a cigarette, and I have my life back.
