Well here we are again - today is my 3rd anniversary of quitting which actually doesn't seem possible!!  Three years ago today I made that pact with myself that there would be no more cigarettes and I can honestly say I have kept to that pact.  There were plenty of occasions in the beginning when the urge to smoke was so great but I am so pleased I resisted it.

I hope my other March 2019 quit buddies are doing well... none of seem to come here as often any more but would lovely to catch up with you.

Spring is nearly here and covid seems to be backing down (I ended up having it twice!!!) so hopefully this year will be better in a lot of ways.  My heartfelt thoughts go out to everyone in Ukraine though... a dreadful time for them - so sad that people feel war is the answer to sort out problems.  A very simplistic way I know, but war and pain is not the answer

Take care everyone and I hope this post finds you all well

A quick message to all quitters on her especially my two March 2019 quit buddied, Cheryl & Asad - I just want to say thank  you for each one of you for helping me over the difficult time of giving up  smoking.

Many on here have offered me support and kindness and this forum played a very big part in me quitting.  I hope you all keep up the good work after this wonderful forum closes tomorrow.

Good luck and love to you all

I think perhaps I am the only one who returns here now from my quit buddies... but wanted to share the 4 year celebration.  Four whole years - I can hardly believe it but so glad I did it and persevered to be smoke free.  I have stopped counting how much I have saved and virtually stopped thinking about smoking.  Every now and then I have a dream in which I have one lit but they are very few and far between 

So hope Asad and Cheryl are keeping well and healthy - hope you come back here one day and let me know all is well :)

Congratulations Jan !!!  4 years is a great accomplishment - yay

Hello Jan,

Thanks for reaching me out and I am sorry I didn't get any notification for your message as you didn't tag me.

Yes, it has been 4 years and I will say wonderful 4 years where I am not waiting to go out of the building right after food to get my nicotine dose. I still do get cravings some times when I am emotional or going through the phase but don't get me wrong. Those are really short lived urges and I can easily ignore them.

Congratulations to you and thank you for keeping this March 2019 group alive.
