   Hello all...!!!
   It's been a LONG time since I've logged-in here.  Was waiting for the bugs to get worked-out, but upon logging in here this afternoon, it's apparent that isn't going to happen any time soon. :(
   Things are still slow - no apparent improvement in functionality (pictures / a working "smoke-free days" counter, etc,)...
   Oh well - moving on, I'm proud to report that I've managed to stay smoke-free throughout some pretty hectic developments over the past couple years! :)
   
   SOME STATS TO SHARE:
   My quit date: January 27, 2014
   Smoke-free for: 1522 days
   (Or: 4 years, 2 months, 2 days)
   
   My online helpful resources are still active!!!:
   Butting-Outs Online Resources
   
   TTYL everyone - and KEEP THE QUIT!!!

   WooHoo buttingout2014, you have such impressive stats.  Way to go!  You are such an inspiration!
   
   I think the idea of your new café is awesome!  I love animals of all kinds, so I think it's cool that people can bring their furry friends in with them.  And isn't it great that you can have a coffee these days without even thinking about lighting up?  I'm at 15 months now, and I find that is just mind boggling!  Oh the freedom, it is unbelievable!
   
   Thanks for touching base, it's great to hear from you!

   Hi buttingout2014,
   
   You are an inspiration with 1522 smoke free days. I hope to emulate that achievement. Bring Your Dog Cafe is a great idea! I love dogs too.

   Good Job Butting Out!  I still go back to your old post to get the links to these pages.  I know I'm doing well when I don't have to question everything and refer back because I've finally adapted!  I'd love to bring my dog to your cafe, but it's too long a walk, haha!  Happy Easter!

   Hey there Jim, Hipster here...so glad I saw this post, I am glad things are going well for you.  I miss the old days with you, Brandon (Need To Stop) and a few others who supported each other when we were newbies together, Congrats on the opening of the  Bring Your Dog Café, what a great idea!   Perhaps the old man, myself and our 'best friend' will stop in someday soon for a coffee and a quick hello.  Best wishes my friend...

   Hi Buttingout2014
   
   I would like to thank you for coming back online to share your successes.
   It is really important and inspiring for those of us who are just at the start.
   my goal is to one day be able to share the same stats - more than 4 years!  Really impressive and way to go........
   I love dogs and I know we need some more dog friendly places here in Winnipeg
   Thank you for sharing your resources.  I'm going to check them out

   Congrats Jim on 1522 days.  If it was not for my relapses I would have been up there with you.  :) Good news is I am 570 days smoke free today. Thanks for guiding me during my first quit. :)
