I never thought I'd have made it here. I remember feeling so hopeless and powerless to quit. I'm undeniably proud of myself for having quit cold turkey.
I'm doing really well in spite of trying circumstances a couple of months ago. Those unexpected cravings for a cigarette have largely vanished. The only time I feel the hook of addiction is after I've drunk a certain amount of wine. Needless to say, I stop drinking before it gets to that point.
Can't wait until I clock in a year!

That is so fantastic, great admiration for how well you've done. !
I find it helps so much to read posts from longer term quitters, it really is a great encouragement.
It is good to hear that others felt powerless and hopeless - what a success you've made you must be a strong committed person.
I think everyone on here understands how hard all this is, but to cling to the thought that it does get better keeps us going through the difficult periods. :)
Congratulations Isabella, amazing that just six months ago we were both terrified quitters, now we are strong, happy non-smokers. You go girl pic4ever.com/images/dancegi...
Well done Isabella, as said above 6 months is such a massive achievement! Your post is inspiring to me and others who read it, particularly as you said u struggled and have had some trying times but still pulled through it as a non smoker, this is great, good luck to you xx
Thank you all for the congratulations and kind words on my special milestone Those who are behind me on the path towards becoming smoke-free--it feels wonderful and awesome. Keep going--you'll be glad you did!
P.S. My quit anniversary will fall on my birthday. I didn't plan it that way, but now, I'll always have two things to celebrate on my birthday!
