About Me

I'm 52 years old and live in South Central Florida, USA. My name is James but family and close friends call me "Bubba" out of affection. I became known as "BubbaJames" on most quit smoking support forums on the internet.Freedom Village MySpace was created to bring awareness to Freedom Village Quit Smoking Support Forum. Both, Freedom Village MySpace & Forum are dedicated to bringing awareness to most all humanitarian causes but most of all they were designed to bring awareness to the dangers of smoking tobacco. I have a bit of knowledge and experience in tobacco abuse. I know of its deadly & debilitating consequences and how to take control of the addiction. A few of my qualifications are:--------I smoked 20 to 30 cigarettes a day for 30 plus years. --------I've been consistently quit for 2 plus years. --------I've been quit off and on for 6 plus years. --------I've lost many friends and family members to tobacco abuse. --------I've operated and maintained a quit smoking support forum on Network 54 for 5 plus years. --------I maintain QuitSmokingHelp.org website. --------I maintain a quit smoking MySpace page, blog and forum. --------I have COPD as a result of tobacco smoking.Each and everyone of us are unique just as our quits are or will be. Ex-smokers can give you ideas on quitting and staying quit but ultimately it is left up to you to find what will work. If you're planning on quitting, use the comments section of this site to let us know of your progress or send me a message. It lifts my spirit when I hear of any one quitting or wanting to quit tobacco use. If you slip or relapse DON'T LET IT STOP YOU FROM TRYING AGAIN......NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON QUITTING! It's a trial-and-error/learning process. Have confidence and believe in yourself that YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR FREEDOM FROM ADDICTION!

My Interests

I enjoy trying to make life a little easier for others in whatever way I can. I spend a great deal of time on the internet bringing awareness to tobacco abuse. As a polio survivor I am trying to bring together other survivors with a forum, MySpace page and a webpage. Problem is there is only one of me and I've neglected the Polio Survivors to concentrate on Tobacco Abuse with my www.QuitSmokingHelp.org website, Freedom Village MySpace and my friends at "Freedom Village Quit Smoking Forum".

I'd like to meet:

For those of you too young to remember, Bette Davis was a famous actress who played roles you could like but at the same time hate. Tobacco abuse contributed to her death. This was one of my favorite songs when I was in my late 20's. I remember sitting at the shores of the famous Indian River (in Ft. Pierce Florida) with my radio turned up full blast playing "Bette Davis Eyes". I would be looking out on the river at the boats, relaxed and....(living a lie) smoking a cigarette.

Music:

Pop Rock, Soft Rock, Country, Oldie Goldies and Southern Christian.

Movies:

I love movies...all kinds, adventure, comedy, drama, biographies and most all "feel good" movies by Disney and Dream Works.

Television:

I love the Sci Fi Channel and Chiller..lol.

Books:

When I was younger, I read a lot...always had a book in my hand but now I keep a novel by my bed and will read a chapter from it most every night. At this time I'm reading "Treasure of Khan" by my favorite authors Clive Cussler & Dirk Cussler on the continued adventures of Dirk Pitt.

Heroes:

I have many heroes and couldn't begin to name them here....but...just as a start...my late father,my mother & sisters, people who quit smoking, people who help make life easier for the less fortunate, the disabled, the elderly and children...the list goes on....and on....and on :-) but basically...those who do good for all.
