Hi all,

I am well aware of the fact that the 1 year anniversary is just the start of a life free from nicotine addiction, but i am wondering-

for those of you who have already passed the 1 yr mark- how did you celebrate?

for those of you (Like me) yet to celebrate it- what are you plans to celebrate it?

Prob nothing though actually, I think going 5 years is the real landmark, might have a nice KFC though, lol.

In a lay-by, in the dark, in the rain, in my OH's car waiting for a pick up truck to collect my little old classic which had been nearly killed by my OH that day.

Starving hungry but laughing at the ridiculousness that was the situation whilst having my spirits buoyed by Mrs Cox, who probably was eating curry.

Got home at almost 11:30 pm, no food but lots of wine.

Hi Claire

Like you i have yet to celebrate that landmark, i still have 7 months till i reach it but i have decided that my OH & I should go out for a meal or go to the cinema to celebrate. It may not seem much to him to remember the date and then to celebrate but for me its something i have to do.

He makes me laugh because once a month on the anniversary date (24th) i make a point of saying 2 months, 3 months, 4 months and i am well chuffed. I know once the Penthouse has been reached it will be a different story but until then im making the most of all the milestones.

Good luck with your quit xx

I will go to Egypt and go diving to a very, very deep dive that I have yet to do because I'm concerned that my smoking habit interferes with my ability to absorb enough oxygen at depth.:( :D

urrrgh, lambert and butler, they were grim.

Not as grim as rothmans though, they made you feel like you'd had your oesophagus thoroughly chafed with a cheese grater.

I will celebrate with a meal out with my OH, I reckon. Only another nine months to go... :)
