Well done John

This place has been a major part of many peoples lives after they have made one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

You have played a large part in making this forum a fun, as well as an informative place to be.

You have banged the Education drum louder than any other.

Today John if I wore a hat I would tip it in your direction.

You are the person

CONGRATULATIONS;)

Hello John,

It's really good to know that you are still here. Just having a quick browse this morning, I note that Gary's still about as well.

Hasn't this year flown!!

Very well done ... your links and research have really been a terrific help to so many

Thanks very much ChicknHun for the thread and to the others for your well wishes!!

The last year has been a brilliant journey and i dont think i would have made it as easily as i did without the "distractions" of the forum and the support and friendship of the people i have met here. Sharing this journey with you has been an absolute pleasure

The quit itself i found to be far easier than i could ever have hoped it would be. Probably because i discovered whyquit, which gave me the understanding i needed to help me stay quit and then Catwoman introduced me to Woofmang which has some of the best and most insprational stories to help when times got a bit tougher.

I have enjoyed my time on the forum, although i have not posted as much in the second 6 months as i did the first 6.

To all the new quitters, the time goes by a lot faster than expected and the "I'd like a cigarette" moments become fewer and fewer and also very easy to deal with so stick with it.

I was a commited smoker for 30 years and never thought i would be able to quit. With the help of Mr Carr (Easyway), whyquit and my friends on here, quitting was far easier than it is made out to be and i would say to everyone, stick with it because it gets much easier to say no, further down the road.

One other thing, when i stopped i decided to save what i would have spent on cigarettes, because no matter what, i always found the money to smoke.

A year down the line, i have a nice wee ISA going as well as a 42" Sony HD TV and a Bluray player, all from my quit smoking money :eek:. A worthwhile "side effect" of quitting.

To all the newbies:

READ READ READ!!!!!!!! Because Understanding really is the secret to a successful quit

Well done John would like to sit here blowing kisses up your rear end, but so many have already done so:rolleyes:

All there is to say is Thanks.

Nice Work

Mark

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to watch all these names tick off the “one year down” box. I think this forum is starting to achieve quit rates that the NHS could only dream of, although I might be a little biased.

Well done sir, you’ve flown the flag with pride and I too salute your achievement.

[nsd_user663_2743]

Hi Austin

Well said The NHS no smoking support is laughable did nothing for me at all

think my 2 year old grandson would have been more use

Thankgod for this forum

[nsd_user663_3704]

Well done on reaching a year-truly awesome!

Can only repeat what eveyone else has said-this forum is a Godsend-wouldn't have got to 5 months (nearly) without it. Moreover, I just know that because of all the help, support and most importantly EDUCATION I have received on here, I'll never smoke again.

People ticking the one year box are a real inspiration and what I find best of all right now is that No Smoking Day 2009 will soon be here (March 11th I believe) and those of us already here can welcome loads of newbies and (hopefully) continue the cycle.

Well done everyone-wherever you are in your quit, for having the guts to try and quit in the first place.

[nsd_user663_3554]

Fantastic going John,I knew when you Joined you would make it.

You always kept your head into your quit ......

[nsd_user663_3290]

Yet another from a year ago, well done John, i was around when you were having those mankini fights with Maddy, hope all is well !

[nsd_user663_2485]

Congrats

Congratulations, John! I was sort of tapering off here when you came on, but every time I drop by I see your entries. You've helped a lot of people.

Congratulations!
