Hi everyone,

After many failed attempts I have at long last been quit for a whole year today :eek:

There where many times when I thought I would never kick the fags but stubbornly refused to give in. I knew a quit would stick one day and it has.

It's the best thing I have ever done and don't regret it for a second.

Wherever you are on your quit journey just believe in yourself and the fact that you are stronger than the call of the nicodemon.

Will save you a seat in the penthouse as many have done for me. Thank you my friends :D

I am so, so happy for you!!!

Never has a forum name been so appropriate. I've seen you pick yourself up and dust yourself down a few times, and a lot of people would have thrown in the towel but not you. You should be incredibly proud of yourself. Enjoy the penthouse, and enjoy the freedom!

Well if there was a post I had to reply to, this is it, a mega mega well done to you for achieving what you always thought was going to be impossible and here you are in the penthouse feeling incredibly proud of yourself, I am so glad you are now past the point of no return.

You are a credit to the forum as well for all the support you have given to others along this never ending road.

Take care xxx

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I could never have got here without the support of this forum.

I savour every day of being smoke free. The thought of smoking fills me with disgust now so long may that continue ;)

Saw the price of ciggies while queuing at a local store and nearly passed out with shock. I would often by a packet of ciggies with my loaf of bread and was stunned to see that would now cost me a tenner. No thank you very much :p

I certainly know that 'Neverstoptrying' will be placed above the mantleshelf, pride of place, cos that is so deserving of your perseverance as well as a mantra for life :cool:

Many come, some do it with ease, others with a struggle or 2, and then there's Gaynor :cool:

Congratulations a classic example of persistence and self-believe if ever I saw one and an excellent illustration that it can be done.

Lovely Gaynor, I was always so worried about your forum name! It seemed you were doomed to never stop trying! But.... in the end nothing but your sheer determination mattered. So pleased you made it to the Penthouse, even more pleased that you sound like you've nipped this in the bud.... Big huge congrats, Gaynor! Xx

Hi Gaynor,

Not here often these days, but popped by for the first time in months and saw your one year post.

I may be a little tardy with my response - but I am so so pleased to see how well you have done - and my lateness in congratulating you does not for one moment reduce my admiration.

Stay strong,

Deke
