A year ago today
your lighter died,
with one in the pack
you threw it away.

Today is your day,
I wanted to say....
Congrats its been year
since you quit.


Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things,
man will not himself find peace."

Froggy~
How wonderful for him !

How sweet of you to write this to show your pride in his accomplishment !

I would hazard a guess that your moral support and love were two key factors in helping him achieve his goal~

Thank-you all for the comments. It was a long struggle but he kept with the program,used the patches too. Happy to say he himself says he has never felt better.
Hugs to each and everyone of you.
