Wow! I am happy to see so many familiar names still here! I have been wanting to check in for some time and send out a big THANKS to all of the support this group gave me during the many tough months and challenges that come along with kicking the nicotine habit. I also wanted to give myself the treat of being able to post in the Penthouse! I earned it! I am 1 year 6 months smoke free! Not one puff!!!! It's funny....people used to say they would have dreams about smoking and I never did until I hit my one year mark. Once in awhile I have a dream that I smoke a cigarette - and I am soooo mad and disappointed in myself. In my dream I think... Are you kidding me??? Now I have to start all over! Then I wake up, realize it was a nightmare and am so grateful to still be smoke free. I do still think about smoking more often then I should. Hopefully I will continue to be strong enough to never pick up a cigarette again. I think those nightmares keep me honest. I know I would not have been able to get through the first few months without this group - thank you again!! You guys very well might have saved my life!
STILL SMOKE FREE!: Wow! I am happy to see so... - No Smoking Day
STILL SMOKE FREE!
Max you are doing outstanding too!!!!! AND I think it is awesome that you are still helping everyone get through it all!
Huge congratulations from me too, Melzee- 18 months is a fantastic achievement. Speaking from the perspective of someone who is very close to knocking on the Penthouse door it is lovely to know that nic-free life continues in the lands beyond. Thanks for coming back to share and once again, well done on your mighty 18 month quit.
Lovely post Melzee, well done on 18 months smoke free - that's brilliant.
Hi Melzee, I'm quite new here but wanted to say congratulations on 18 smoke free months. Always good to read posts like yours proving it can be done.
Congratulations Melzee on 18months quit, that takes some serious willpower and determination good on you :cool:
Thanks Everyone!!!! Feels good to be here!! Sally A - It can be done - don't ever doubt that!!! I smoked for 27 years - about a pack a day and quit cold turkey. Even though my world was an emotional roller coaster for a few months - I got through it - And so can you! Hang in there everyone - better breathing and better tasting food is in your future!
Congrats!!! I'm so happy for you. I was wondering what had happened to you but I'm glad you managed to stay quit. Great to see you back here!
