Trophy
The Quitters' Board
Sixteen quitters and counting. Newest at the top, so we can cheer them on.

This is the scoreboard. Every name here belongs to somebody who put down the cigarettes and wrote in to say so. First names and states only. If you slip, write me and I'll change your date, no lecture. Starting over isn't losing. Quitting quitting is losing.

To get on the board, send your first name, your state, your quit date and a line about it to [email protected]. I add new names on Sunday nights.
