Thanks Gloria - I love my key too :)

Yep, I smoked for 47 years in all... with a short break whilst pregnant.  It was tough, but I went cold turkey - felt it was the only way not to get addicted to something else!

Hopefully now I wont ever go back... I don't call myself a "non-smoker" in my head, just an ex-smoker :)

Take care and stay safe

To my two quit buddies who check in here now and then, Asad and Cheryl, we have all three made it to 18 months smoke free... Congratulations my friends... here's to the next 6 months which will reach our two year quit celebrations :)

Jan 

Congratulations on hitting 18 months quit. You, Asad and Cheryl stuck it out through the tough spots and now all three of you have successful quits behind you. Way to Go! You three are definitely no sissies!

"Quitting isn't for Sissies!" I quit poisoning myself Sept. 27, 2013

Thanks Debbie :)

Well its been a while since we all posted in here but I thought I would add one today as its 1 year 9 months ago that I had my last smoke.

There are times that I do think about it, especially through the last  lockdown which ended into tier 2 yesterday, but I don't get that urge to light up like I have had before.  I hope my fellow quitters are doing ok and it would be lovely to hear from you :)

I hope you all, and everyone who reads this, have a very merry and healthy Christmas and that we can  look forward to a new year which will bring much happiness, freedom and love to our fellow "man"

Take care everyone

Jan 

Hi,

Happy new year to you as well. Hope this year bring lot of happiness and good health for you.

Regards,

Asad

Thank you Denim and a Happy New Year to you too :)..... 

Hope we are all still on track - it will be 1 year 9 months for me tomorrow.. deep down I still cant believe that I have actually quit and it all seems so long ago now but I am glad I did 

Take good care

Happy 2021 Denim! How thoughtful it is of you to think of us   ! I know in my heart if ANY of us made ìt thru 2020 COVID and didn't smoke,  then nothing can phase us. I made it with no relapse.. instead I gained 20 pds and now that'll be my new focus for 2021. I pray that you and your family made it without losing any loved ones.  We had family get it, but they survived.  We were blessed indeed. May Our Lord fill your year  with His grace, Denim! Keep your body safe and your smober vow SOLID ! lots of hugs and prayers, Cheryl 

Hey Jan..I am very proud of you..heading for the big 2 year anniversary! Mine is 3.17.21.. like I told Denim, if any of us stayed smober thru COVID, then nothing can phase us. When I think of the extra danger smokers are facing in this pandemic,  it gives me chills. We quit just in time  to build up some resistance to the nicodeamon before the virus hit us a year ago.  I am so glad we did.  May this year be a blessing to you and yours! Stay strong Jan!
