"2" Years Quit

Well at last it’s here, my long awaited 2 years smoke free, I find it hard to express how I feel, I have found myself thinking of smoking this week quite a lot, but that seems to be the norm with me just before I have reached some of the bigger milestones along the way, it’s as if I am scared/worried that I will inadvertently find myself with a ciggy in my hand, since the first day of my quit I have never been without a pack of tobacco in my possession, I know that I could not have survived without it, it has been my safety blanket.

At one stage there was one a full pack in the bedroom which came back from Spain, a single one in the kitchen and one in the car, over the 2 years I have gradually given them away and now I have one, I call it my just in case pack, it leaves me in control of my choices not the other way round, without it I would have maybe panicked but I would go and open the draw and say to myself, you can have one if you want one but given the choice I stayed smoke free, if I had not had it in the house I would have brought some and then I would definitely have lit up, I know this for sure.

Some of you will think it strange and see it as having temptation their all the time, but if you look at it like it was maybe my form of NRT then it will not seem such a mad idea, each to their own and no matter how you manage your quit so long as you are smokefree that's all that matters

Looking back at the start of my quit I see that a lot of the people who gave me a vast amount of support when I was having a shit day don’t seem to come on very much anymore, but I suppose they have like we all will eventually have hit a point in their quit where they no longer remember to come on, I seem to go for days and then think, I must go and have a peek, I maybe don’t support as much as I should but there are some great supporters about so I pass the buck :rolleyes:

I wish you all a very happy Christmas and I hope that if nothing else the New Year will be smoke free and healthy for you all, take care.

PS Thanks for sticking with it, it always seems to turn from a few short comments into a monologue :D

Hi Ya Pal

Hi Jamangie, my quit buddie,and well done on your two year quit and as usual a great post. Some of the newer quiters will not realise how much support you gave during the early day's of our quit, to all the members of this site, but in particular I will always be greatful for the support you gave to this 35 year smoker.

I congratulate you on this achievment and for anyone who is just starting out on thier quit attempt and think that they will not be able to "do it",well we were the same in that we were two people who had smoked for so long and if Jamanjie is the same as me I really did not think that I would stop smoking,but we are proof that it can be done and it is true when ex smokers say it gets easier as you go through your quit .

However this is truly my friend Jamangie's special day, so I will say congratulations on your 2 year quit and wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and have a lovely Hogmany (as we say in Scotland) the English version is have a Happy new Year.

P.S remember I have a lovely bottle of 15 year old Whisky to share with you , if you ever get North of the border, because I am easy to find in that if you are at the Forth Road Bridge I am only 10 minute away and you know my number.

Love and Kisses to you and your family

Dannyboy:)

Its easy to multi quote :rolleyes: go to where you would normally quote and at the side is another thingy, click on that and any other posts you want to quote in the same place then go to the botton and say reply, then post your comments under each quote, does that make sense???? :eek:

Thanks for the post as well xxx

Hi Jackie, I feel really bad as I didn’t post on your 3 year quit did I, sos sos sorry, well done though even if in the wrong thread and a bit late.

No I didn’t buy myself anything, as usual but I got some Chriggy prezzies and on the cards it said well done, funny because I still want to shout from the roof tops that I am still quit but expect my friends and family to have forgotten but most of them didn’t, forget that is.

There are about 8 of us who have now quit in the immediate family and I am the shortest one, in time that is, in fact I might be the shortest in height as well, a bit rounder now though :)

A little story for you regarding Cliff, a friend of mine was married to his sis, for christmas they got cliff to sign me a personal autograph, I sprayed the sig with hair spray to make sure it didnt smudge, I used silverkrin and it dripped off the sig grrrr LOL moral of the story is dont use hair spray on cliff LOL

nsd_user663_18145
