A few hours early but I'm waiting in the penthouse foyer !!!!!!

[nsd_user663_54852]

Donkeys years since I started a new post but I'm sooooooooo excited to do this one

1 year done and dusted at 11.16 pm today. May not have chance to get online tomorrow hence the early post, so I will just be waiting in the penthouse foyer for the doors to open. Hope my DFS swivel cuddly chair is ready

Its a fantastic feeling and to anyone earlier on in their quits I can only say that it feels great not to be a nicotine slave and the freedom is out there for everyone.

This forum has definitely been instrumental on keeping me on track and a real lifesaver in the early days when at times it felt as though it was an easier option to give in and try on yet another day.

Many people to thank for the early days, but especially Max, Hawk, Kat & Angela- - proud of you all as you have stayed quit and contributed big time to the forum.

Dig deep everyone and stay on course with your quits, you can do it. The less pleasant withdrawal symptoms will pass and your life and body find a 'new normal'.

The best of Brizzle to you all

Great stuff!

Brilliant! I've been waiting for this post not knowing if it was coming tonight or tomorrow but what's a few hours between friends?

Massive congratulations lovely, a year is such a big deal and I'm delighted you got there. You deserve all of the pride, satisfaction and the other genuine benefits that come with kicking this ridiculous association with smoking into touch. I'm chuffed to bits for you, really well done! Party time! xx

Thank you all for your kind words ,they reinforce the awesome feeling of achieving non smoker freedom.

Max, Kat & Hawk , its been a fabulous journey. I never have joined a forum before, I don't even do facebook, but you guys have made a challenging journey a pleasure and I'm chuffed to 'little mint balls' as Kat would say that you have succeeded in your quits.

Kat .. not long now my lovely, its just a matter of days and weeks before we can celebrate your 1 year milestone

Donna J , back atcha babbers for your kind comments, make this quit the one which works for you. Brizzle ( & South Westies ) do well with this forum, you can and will do it

Many Congrats Nonny,

Like you I hadn't posted in ages prior to my 1 year, but I made sure that I came back to do so.

It's such a significant achievement, it seems so easy in retrospect, but in the early days of the quit it would have been easier just to quietly slope off and carry on.

Well done, and thanks for posting - like many others I found the courage to stay smoke free by reading posts that were days, weeks, months and years ahead of me.

[nsd_user663_54332]

Know I'm a bit late but wanted to say a massive well done to you hun
