<-----me, me, me too!

And isn't it funny how we remember not only the day of our last cigarette but the exact moment! I think I knew I was finally over the hump when one day someone asked me how long it's been and I had to think for a minute before responding. The first couple months we can almost quote in hours and/or minutes how long it's been, if only because of being so proud of ourselves (with good reason)!
