When I started out a year ago, I had little doubt I would be able to post this milestone. After all, I had already given up once before many years ago, for four and a half years. I still have quite some time to go to beat my previous "record", but I'm happy to know that one year has already gone by.
Best wishes to all the other NAS quitters, and good luck to everyone else who is somewhere along the journey to quit. You CAN do it!
Alex.

A huge thankyou to all of you: Helsbelles, MrsCP, una-g, johnj6922, CamperPete, im a quitter, betty boop, jamangie, neverstoptrying, Pookie, Karri, MAH, and Carol62.
We have all helped each other along the way, and I'm so happy to see many others reaching their milestones from around the same time as I joined, as well as many new people who are making a difference. It is sites like this that keep us stimulated and forgetting those damned awful cigarettes (spit, spit)!
Oh, and I didn't forget you kitkat72, my "special" friend :eek: Yes, we have known each other for a year already.
Congrats Alex on your year, sorry I missed the thread when you originally put it up. I love these threads as it lets us know that giving up smoking is actually possible. Hope to see you in the penthouse in 345 days time.
Super achievement. Well done you! I'm super jealous, and shared experiences like yours is what's helping to inspire me to start my Day 1 again. I can't imagine getting to a whole year but I bloody hope it happens and isn't just a pipe dream for me. Congratulations to you!
Foozle, I really should write more to help people starting out, although I have to admit that I have somehow lost sight of exactly how it feels both mentally and physically to stop. The one thing I do know is that the mind has to be in the right place to make it easier, which is easier said than done. But, there are some principles I have read and used to help me along the way. I'll try to share some of those soon.
David, thanks for all the jokes! They certainly brightened up my day (and continue to do so when I'm around).
