I'm so so pleased! Smoke-free me is sending heartfelt thanks to 2015 me for putting in the hard work.
This time last year I was smoking a LOT, hopelessly addicted while watching my lovely dad lose his brief fight with cancer - terrible. I don't know if that's what spurred me on to quit or not, I'd wanted to stop for so many years but just been unable to see how. And then I did. I wish I could state in simple terms what it was that made quitting suddenly seem possible. I think it was a combination of timing, life experience, research and just a magical lightbulb moment that made me realise I could be stronger than I thought.
So, to all those of you struggling to find a way, here's this.
In the words of the wise Christopher Robin, 'Promise me you'll always remember you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.'
Good luck everyone x

It's so amazing - even though I had quite a positive and confident quit, I always kind of thought I might not make it...but yes, penthouse here I come! Keep it up rowens x
Great post incy, I'm very happy for you! I'll meet you in the penthouse soon
Incy...your post is exactly how I feel...I remember January 2015 smoking like a chimney with my ex boyfriend (the relationship didnt survive the quit) and thinking how great but impossible it would be to give up at some point. Today is my 309th day on my quit and I feel great...there r many people I would like to thank and you r one of them...I am positive I wouldnt have made it without all the support and education from this forum and elsewhere. The support here was wonderful...thank you soo much...cant wait to become golden...can you??? !!!!
Hahaha!!! I almost feel relative to you Incy!!! So happy we r soon to celebrate!!!
...and Im left crying abt my own stupidity, I was ahead of both of you! I should be entering the penthouse next Monday. ah well, I'll get there eventually
