I am one very happy bunny this morning to be able to say that
I know that I wouldn't have made it without help though I used as many of you know Champix but more importantly I had this forum as essential backup
My thanks to the many people on here that helped me so much especially in the early days of my quit
My Son StuartH, Nicfirth, Cavalier,Shabba, Tomatpots,JohnTKD ,Dubbs and Austinlegro to mention but a few there were many more as well without you all I wouldn't be here today
You all cheered my good days, gave me consolation on the bad ones and gave me a shove when I needed it
For that I thank you all and I think somewhere like this is an essential part of a quit for most people
As I got to know the people here I felt that if I caved I would have not just let myself down I would have let everyone else down as well and that acted as a spur if/when I came close to it
So with my thanks to my many friends here I can say that this morning I am very proud to be entering the Penthouse
My Stats
I have saved £2,511.09 by not smoking 9,131 cigarettes but more importantly
I have saved 1 Month, 1 Day, 16 hours and 55 minutes of my life.
My Love to you all

I honestly cannot tell you how happy I am to welcome you to the Penthouse.
I know it's early, but take your seat in the bar or by the pool - I'll get the champagne
I actually think I am more proud of your quit than I am of my own, and I'm even more proud of the effort you put into helping everyone else. Even a year in, you still put in more time than almost anyone else to help others.
An inspiration indeed.
Congratulations
I hope you really enjoy your day - your "re-birthday" as they say.
Congratulations again on your first year of freedom, may there be many more
Thank you for the message and for you jokes they give me a laugh to start the day right
Love
Margxx
Hi Stuart

Onwards and upwards to the next year of freedom
Love

I just had to pop back in to see you today, Margaret!!! Although I rarely sign in now, I do keep an eye on what is going on and I know how much of an inspiration you have been to so many. Keep it up!!
It's nice here in the Penthouse, isn't it! I'll have been here for one year tomorrow - it seems so hard to believe it was 18 November 2007 when I quit!

Sorry you have to share the smiles again as omly allowed four :D:D:D
Congratulations Margareth. Wow, what an inspiration that is. Enjoy your entrance to the penthouse. I just want to say thankyou very much for your help, I am a newbie here but you have welcomed me with open arms. Your quick responses to my posts have really helped me not to pick up the evil weed. My son is asleep at last, so I can just have a minute to myself to say.....well done, and many thanks. Lisa X
Hi Marg, I left you a message earlier on but on looking just now I don't see it. I only ever get 4 pages and if there are any more posts they do not show. I hope you got my best wishes you certainly deserve them. Just looked at my recent posts and I see it is there at 11.28pm but I don't understand why I often don't see posts.
Thankyou for the message and I agree we have had our ups and downs but at the end of the days we're all her for the same reason to help and encourage each other and I've had a lovely day thanks
Hi Jackie
Yes you certainly sent me a post earlier and I remember replying to it but never mind I got two lovely messages from you HA HA does that mean I don't get one next time :D
I don't understand that either Jackie have you mentioned it to the Mods or Admin if not maybe they can sort it out for you I remember a while back I couldn't post at all just read or PMs then I lost the PM as well and they sorted that for me
CONGRATULATIONS Marge. Fantastic to see you joining everyone in the penthouse. A great day for you. And you are a continuing support and inspiration to me and so many others. Have a drink or three - you certainly deserve them!
Hi Marg, I'm only a newbie as you know, but just wanted to add my congratulations to all the others on here, you must be mega-proud, enjoy your meal and all your extras in the Penthouse.
Congratulations on entering the Penthouse...I hope you have the best room in the house, you certainly deserve it.
You are here for each and everyone of us and your welcome, advise and humour is what makes this forum special. You really are an inspiration to us all.
Have a fantastic day sweetheart and see you for a drink at the pool bar in next October.
Than you so much I am very happy and proud to have reached the Penthouse but I truly wouldn't have been where I am today without the help of this forum and I certainly plan on having a drink or four or more tonight HA HA
Hi MCW
Thankyou as well and I look forward to you joining me as well next year it had been said many times before and no doubt will be said many more times but if I can do it anyone can I smoked for 50+ years before I managed to quit after many attempts
Hi Vivienne
Thankyou for the message yes I'm proud of myself and I did enjoy my meal thanks
I also know of course that you're a newbie but we were all newbies once and at the end of the day we're all here for the same reason every one of us
We all want freedom from a truly horrible addiction and we can all gain that freedom it can be hard at times for most of us but it truly is worth it I have gained so much since I stopped smoking and perhaps the most important is a vast improvement in my health
Hi Lorna
Thank you and I have a lovely room here all mod cons as well if I have helped at all that makes me happy I was helped in the same way when I arrived here as a newbie
I'm having a lovely day thanks and you're on for that drink at the pool bar next October ans although that may seem a long way ahead the times will pass really quickly Promise
Been looking out for this one as I knew you weren't far behind me!
Seriously well done marg-what a fantastic achievement.
Can only echo what everyone else has said-you truly are an inspiration and I know my own journey would have been much, much harder without your support.
Thanks again for the help you gave me and welcome to the penthouse!
ahh how it pleases me to see this post, 365 days = a year fer sure!!! finally made the penthouse
Absolutely top job on keeping the quit intact, and not only that for seeing to it that each and every visitor to the forums you visit gets a personal welcome, and also the sheer amount of folk whom you reply to on a day-to-day basis should not go unnoticed either. I used to post like that, and its takes alot of time out of your day, so the forum is lucky to have you about.
So here's to you.. to all your effort towards yourself and your quit and also to all others whom you've helped.
You are such an inspiration on this forum - you have definitely helped save many more from the evil weed. You have given me so much inspiration over the past year.
Please continue to post on this forum and help others as you have been doing, don't just sit around in that penthouse jacuzzi drinking champagne - we need you on here!!
Here's to the next smoke free year - and the year after and the next and....
I'm so pleased you came out of hibernation yesterday and thank you so much for the message and I promise to continue spreading the word OK
READ READ READ people there you go hows that ??????
Sorry to disappoint but I do not have a headache this morning although I'm definitely muzzy headed will that do HA HA
Hi TDK John
Thanks for the message I feel honoured that you logged in today but I'm sorry I didn't do a little dance for youtube mustn't steal Stuart's thunder you know HA HA

Hi Popsie
Thanks for the message and the welcome I'm so happy to be here and if I helped you along the road that makes me happy and proud
Hi Jase
Thank you and yes I finally made it but do you know a year at the start seems such a long time yet for the most part that time has flown by and yes I come here a lot and try to help as I was helped but I have an advantage over a lot of you in that I don't work any more and therefore have the time to do it and also it's something that I enjoy doing
Hi Trisha
Thanks to you as well for the message and if I have helped that makes me very happy and proud not only to have reached the full year but to have been of help to others on here
Hi Nicki
Thanks for the message and it won't be long before you arrive here as well I know you've had it rough at times but you battled away and you're going to make it as well
HA HA I have no intention of just sitting around here in the Jacuzzi twiddling my thumbs Promise
I shall continue to try and help others as I was helped for as long as I feel i'm doing some good I'll carry on with it I know I have said this many times but I really do enjoy what I do here I have cut out the evenings for the most part but am here almost everyday for at least a part of it
I'm sorry that once again you have to share the grins due to only being allowed four to a post grhhhhhhhhhhh
I knew it was somewhere around this time and I bloody missed it! Huge massive well done to you Marg. Thank you for all your support and wise words throughout my quit. You thoroughly deserve a trumpet and a large round of applause my surrogate mother!!
Only done a few posts myself here, but reading is what counts for me when feeling the need, and your posts are a true inspiration - whether the first day or two, or a (little bit) longer like me.
Thank you so much for the message if I was able to help I'm really pleased to have done so
