This is a fabulous achievement :D 6 months is a LONG time,like you,I was resigned to being a smoker forever,I just could not conceive of leaving my little white friends behind
But we can all do this,and at 6 months you are statistically very likely to make a year now,so in the meantime be wary,keep the shields up and when you get to 10 months submit your suite design request to the Penthouse admin dept-remember whatever you want,you get,at the Penthouse :D:D
I just love these posts by Max, truly inspirational, but more also true, Max has conquered, what is needed to quit, thumbs up to Max
Congratulations on getting to 6 months Finally.... Half a year that's half a year! brilliant achievement and can I just say that bath looks sooooo inviting
Hope you are going to celebrate this milestone over the weekend x
Fantastic news! The first of the November quitters to make it to the 6 month stage! You have been a great support over past few months. Well done on your milestone
If I could do dancing bananas and cheer leaders I would, mate. Flipping well done! All power to the first of the November/December Quitters to make it to Halfway House!!
Thank you most kindly for reserving some rooms for the rest of the gang. I shall be bringing up the rear on 8th June if all goes well.
In the meantime, relax for a while, put your feet up and enjoy that view. I bet the Penthouse is looking awfully close from there isn't it?
I have reached the 6-month mark! Can't believe it.
I very big thank you to all here. Without your support, frankly I don't think I could've made it. The initial cessation period was godawful - from 40+ to nothing, cold turkey was not easy. I appreciate, like an alcoholic, the temptation will always be there (especially when you get told, oh, just one socially - as if!). So it is up to me to remain strong and not light up. I also know that, for now, I will think of them, now and again, but that will go by time. Over these last 6 months, things I never wanted to admit to, I.e. their harm, etc. is something I had to reckon with and deservedly feel guilty that I chose to ignore because, the breathing is better; I feel healthier; I am not a slave to them any longer; I don't stink. Win win!
A big THANK YOU to all here - you are my rock, couldn't have done it without you.
Is there a way of connecting this thread to our November Quitters thread?
That is 'home'. It is where we have been posting these last months. I am going to 'cut and paste' the date everyone quit on the November Quitters group and hopefully we get an update from those that have not posted for a while.
