August 7, 20188 yr Congratulations @Doreensfree for being wonderfully smoke free for 5 years. Well done for achieving everything you have despite the hurdles and hard ships you have faced, you are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for everything you do on the train for everyone, your support, your laughter, your threats of punishment with fry pans, keeping us honest and well behaved little quitters. You are the light guiding many of us to freedom, the sage words of wisdom to keep us on our course and the warmth and care to ease the harshness like a balm to the soul. So to a wonderful woman who gives and gives to everyone sit back, relax, put up those webbed toady feet and enjoy the pink gin Reci has set up on tap for your anniversary. As you always tell us, make sure you reward yourself because my dear if anyone deserves a reward it is you. Edited August 7, 20188 yr by notsmokinjo

August 7, 20188 yr Doreen. Doorbell. Horny Toad. An awesome chick by any name. I'm trying to figure out a way to express my affection for Doreen without sharing far too much information and making everybody else uncomfortable... Loyal friend. Tireless mentor. A kind and caring soul who is always there with an outstretched hand and a positive word for those in need. And a helluva lot of fun on top of all that. What more can you ask for? Among the many reason I'm glad I joined the Quit Train, right at the top of the list is that it gave me an opportunity to meet one of the most special people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Congratulations on a hall of fame caliber quit and thank you for everything you do here. Stay awesome Doreen.
August 7, 20188 yr Author So thought I'd share this selfie footage being shot in the ladies room... looking fine there party girl.
August 7, 20188 yr Wow, Congratulations Doreen! 5 years is impressive but it is also impressive the way you have stuck around and continued to help others. Wonderful job!
