Hi Ronda,

And congratulations!

I have not smoked since I was 5 years old. That's another story. Turned green. (Really did.) Puked. Even tried to try again when I went away to school. But I never could.

But I know that you will win this thing. And you will be amazed at what happens then.

Here is how I know:

Someone very near and very dear to me had smoked since early teenage years. In his 40's he developed a strangling cough. It was bad. He was scared. Me, too.

And so he quit the Camels and the Lucky Strikes.

Cold Turkey.

He never smoked again. After all those years. Of a lot of smoking.

And he made it to within sniffing distance of his 90th birthday. Lots of great years in between.

And if he were here with me right now, he would surely say, "Rock on, Ronda."
