A year, one bl**dy year!!

Hello all my fellow Octoquitters... I'm back for the first anniversary and the move to the penthouse and hug you all...

so ...

I am truly amazed and proud to celebrate the 1st anniversary of my smoke free life. Over the past year, I put on 6 kg :eek:, got through many highly stressful situations, moving house, miserable job with a bully of a boss, redundancy, new job and break up, I fell off the wagon a few times :o and even had doubts as to whether it was all worth it, but after 365 days, I am resolutely a non smoker and determined never to go back :cool:

it has been quite a journey and one that will probably never actually quite end, but how good does it feel, I smell nice, I hardly ever have headaches and never cough, with the money saved I upgraded my MacBook and had a super weekend in York..

I'm glad to see so many have made it and although I stopped using the forum a few months ago, I have to say in the first 4 months, this forum was instrumental, just as much as the tablets, to support my quit, some fellow octoquitters have supported with more than my quit and I owe someone quite a lot as she was my rock :)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and kisses and hugs to all xxxxxx

thank you guys, I have to add that this year I also started an Open University BA in International Studies and my new job is awesome.. Life is really good and I am more upbeat than I ever was.

as I said this forum shows what great human beings are around and how one can achieve something very difficult with support.

On a serious note, I hope NHS Fresh Start keeps its funding as this is a great scheme, as for the Forum, it shows also that something that is simple and free can have a tremendous impact...

and... Lorna, I love you lots xxx

Corrine, lovely to see you come and post your One Year Quit :cool:

I remember your first couple or so months ............ lots of wobbles and tears but some wonderful laughs too.

You faced so many tough changes, all very close together but you came through and without the smokes.

Huge warm congratulations to you and of course, best wishes for many many more smoke free years of continuing the journey with no end :)

Pol,

WELL DONE Corrine on your ONE YEAR QUIT

All you Octiquits make me realise why I am doing this and why I so desperately want to reach the year milestone Smoke Free.

So keep the good work up, you are all an inspiration to us who are following in your footsteps x
