Thanks for all the lovely comments.

The possibility that my quit may encourage or inspire others is a great feeling.

And Caro, my quit buddy, 3 years is fantastic! So good to see you still going strong. Just stay lagging behind by exactly the same distance and you'll be doing fine.

I know that I won't smoke again - that's not something I felt confident of saying 5 years ago - but I know it's true now.

This forum, and the support I gained from it, was so important. I know it will continue to aid those struggling with, and succeeding in overcoming, the grip of nicotine addiction.

Stay strong.

Thanks Donna.

I spent the first 18 months "giving up" smoking then I suddenly decided instead of fluffing around "giving up" I would actually "stop" - big difference between giving up and stopping - and once I'd made that decision I started to see smoking for what it really is.

I know everyone says this but if I can do it then I truly believe with a bit of determination and the right attitude then anyone can do it :)

Both brilliant posts, I am back to day 1 tomorrow after a very brief stint over to the dark side after an 11 week quit, reading things like this make me feel positive again xx
