Today for some reason I looked on my phone and came across the quit counter I installed the day I stopped back in March.
It read's:
"It has been 28 weeks, 2 days, 17 hours, 6 minutes and 19 seconds since I quit"
Seeing that made me think of this site, I thought I would say hello and more importantly say a big thank you to all those folks who supported my quit at it's most delicate beginning stage.
There were a few times over the past six months where it was a damn near run thing, especially as my other half did not manage to keep quit.
Each time I nearly fell the lessons I learned here pulled me through. I knew with certainty that whatever problems I had at the time that if I took one cigarette then I would have one more problem on top.
I'm happy to say that I never had that first one!
I don't think about smoking much these days and staying quit is relatively straightforward but I guard against complacency by remembering that I was quit for ten years once and that in the end one puff led me back to complete addiction in little more than a few months.
Once you get quit, don't ever forget how much smoking sucks, hold onto your quit with all your strength!
I choose not to smoke today... Good luck to you all.
