Dahlia once again we say goodbye but am comforted by the fact that each time we say good bye to each other it never is forever as we do seem to keep popping back into each others lives over and over again. I can full understand that it is hard to keep up with everything and even if you are gone just for a couple of weeks you come back and it seems like all the players have changed.
 
 I have gotten to the point though that even though you are not here your spirit lingers on in these halls as you have become a key component of what makes SHO what it is. Take care and Peace.

It's hard to fail, but it's worse to not even try

Take all the time you need Dahlia!
 
I know you will come back healthier, better and most of all still smoke-free.
 
Congratulations on coming up to the eight month mark. You have really done well and have every reason to be proud of what you have accomplished! 
 
You will be in the thoughts of those who know you and we look forward to hearing from you in time. All the very best!

hello all sho friends!!!!
i was struggling for so long to find the time and be here, visit as much as i wished. ain't happening... and unfortunately i do have to take a break.  i'm trying to come and post, respond to others and give at least a bit of support but then i loose track because i can't follow those threads due to lack of time.  such a silly reason but if you can't - you just can't.
 
as some of you know i went through some serious medical ordeal in a very recent past and the doctors, specialists, tests and tones of different medical appointments are keeping me super busy these days. i also returned to work and...yeah, i have less time than ever. they told me that after a seizure you just can't go ahead and drive your car as usually. my neurologist simply forbidden me to get being the wheel. fine with me and i have nothing against that, it's just that now i'm walking fifteen minutes to the closest bus stop in the morning, then take a bus, then the subway, then another subway and then a... streetcar. i'm not complaining at all but, yes, getting to and from work is time consuming right now.
 
i want you all to know that you mean so much to me and it is thank to you that i quit and please do not think that i just got bored and left.
 
and i hope that with time i will be able to come back. sho is so much fun!!!
 
i also want to tell you that in few days i will be celebrating
 
eight months of not smoking!!!
 
for this reason alone i need to give back. after more than 20 years of struggling with this addiction and almost four years of learning how to stop smoking (!!!) i know what it takes to quit and i will do my best to support all of those who want to do it when i'm back.
 
thank you all for everything you did for me!!!!!!
 
i still will be pledging every day as it gives me strength and confidence and i promise to visit the club on fridays.

No more! This is it!
