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".
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.

Freedom Village is an internet community advocating freedom from tobacco abuse. I am a 53 year old ex-smoker who lives in South Central Florida, USA. My given name is James, fourth generation, but family and close friends call me "Bubba". I became known some years back as "BubbaJames" on most quit smoking internet support forums.
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 2 to 3 packs of cigarettes a day for 30 plus years.
•I've been consistently quit since December 25, 2005.
•I've been quit off and on for 7 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 6 plus years.
•I've maintained QuitSmokingHelp.org website for several years.
•I maintain a quit smoking MySpace page and blog.
•I have been a WebRing Manager for many years.
•I have COPD as a result of tobacco smoking which also contributed to my CAD.
Each and every one 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!

Thanks Tobacco....You Killed My Mom
I greatly admire Aaron and his late mother for their contribution in getting the message of tobacco abuse across to those who seem to have so much trouble understanding the dangers of this deadly addiction. Aaron's mom died very much like my eldest sister Joy. If you smoke, quit now!

Thank you all for your support in bringing about awareness to Tobacco Abuse.......
Hello Everyone….
I smoked for 32 plus years. I lost two sisters and other family and friends to tobacco abuse. You can be assured I know how smoking can destroy and end lives.
This site is dedicated to bringing awareness to tobacco abuse and the benefits of quitting. It's NEVER too late to quit, even if, like me, you have COPD and other damages to your lungs from smoking. THE SOONER YOU QUIT THE BETTER, so don't wait until you have caused irreparable damage to your lungs!
You will find I am open minded and try to respect the views of everyone and I do promote Christianity along with most ALL Humanitarian and Health causes.

I havnt been doing much on MySpace lately...but it looks like things are finally starting to look up for the better, and I should be back to "normal" soon..lol I hope you have a wonderful weekend..and Im always thinkin about ya!!

Close your eyes for a moment and think about the love that Makes you sigh. I not only find it in the arms of my loved ones, but in the caress of a sunset, the kiss of the moonlight and the gentle brush of cool air on a hot day. They are the sighs of God. Take the time to stop and listen; you will be surprised at what you hear. 'Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Well hey there stranger! I just want you to know that I'm still doing good and staying strong. :o) I tend to get on Face Book now and that is why you haven't heard from me, but I think about you from time to time, and just think the World of you!!!! Take care, and I'll have to visit this site from time to time so we can stay in touch! :o)
Hey James! Thanks for the kind words in your comment! And thanks for having me as a friend! I hope you are well and enjoying the summer! Keep up the good work that you are doing! Remember: One smoker at a time! PEACE... Tommy*
I so value your friendship and I hope you understand and stick with me during these rough times I am going through. I promise I will return in full force after this bumpy road passes. I hope youve had a great week and your weekend is full of fun and beauty!!
Many of you, my dear friends, have asked me how JJ is doing. I'm caring for him like a sick child nearly 24 hours a day. I don't get much sleep (I'm not complaining) these days so I often forget to get back to you as I have limited computer time as well. It's not that I don't read your messages or think about what wonderful friends God has blessed me with. I truly enjoy hearing from you and love getting messages, comments and emails. I do want you to know that if I don't reply right away I will as soon as I get a chance. I love each of you dearly and thank you so much for everything.
We need many, many prayers for JJ. Prayers were answered for Winston (and continue to be) and without you I don't know if he'd be here with us today.
I have put up a web page on Winston's site for JJ. This will make it easier if you would like to check in on JJ. I will continue to update this page. I invite you to visit it as well as our regular updates page. Here is the link:

I'll be out of town and away from the computer starting tomorrow afternoon until Thursday. I hope you have a wonderful and safe weekend. Much love and many hugs! Sue

Much love and many hugs!

If I could catch a rainbow, I would do it, just for you,
And, share with you, its beauty, on the days you're feeling blue.
If I could, I would build a mountain, you could call your very own.
A place to find serenity, a place just to be alone.
If I could, I would take your troubles, and toss them into the sea.
But, all these things, I'm finding, are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain, or catch a rainbow fair;
but, let me be, what I know best,
A Friend, who's always there.
I promise to defend you, should the occasion ever rise,
And, I promise to wipe away the tears,
which might stream from your weeping eyes.
Let me be the trusted Friend, the one that you know best.
I will never leave you, on that, you can surely rest.
Have a great new week sweetie..xoxoxo
James,
