Hey yourself Susan!

Thanks, and congrats to you as well.  I'm so still quits I didn't even realize 10/7 was my 2 year anniversary.  Of course that was also the date that Far Cry 6 was released; which I've been eagerly awaiting for more than a year now.   So that and old age are my two excuses for forgetting my own anniversary.  If you're not a computer game buff like me then you probably won't get the reference.  Google and Youtube are your friends if you care to learn more about Far Cry 6 ;)  And yes, I'm still hooked on the cough drops, which I'm not even worried about ever quitting.

Wow glad to hear that you and Wayne have made it thru the challanges of the old group. I'm Back at it and know what to expect. So it starts over again. and now i know that people on here are knowing what they are talking about. and thaty 1 smoke is TABOOOOO.  NOPEto everything  everyday. Thanks to you all. Came back and it feels right being here. Knowing that the people here going thru the same things. Maybe this time i'll listen to the people in the know.    Thanks for the support.   Ed G.

48yrsmokin,

There's no such thing as "just one smoke."  The first time I said that to myself I reflected, four years later (at 4 packs per day), that it's just a saying your addicted self uses to fool you into firing up the chimney again.  Stick with the plan and keep that malicious little addict locked up in a sound-proof cage.  Welcome back!

 
Congratulations Susan on two years smoke free!

I hope you’ve had a great day celebrating.  

 
Congratulations October Ex-Smokers 2019 on reaching two years smoke free! What a wonderful achievement! I hope each of you had a great day celebrating this amazing milestone. You did it and you’re a inspiration to others trying to quit. You each have so much to be proud of and I wish each of you the best as you keep moving forward.  

If I may, I cannot thank you enough for the cough drops hint.  Thx so much.  They helped me past a couple of rather touch craving episodes and I still keep a package in every desk today.

Cheers  

You are very welcome!

Hey Wayne,

Count ‘em:  It’s not 1.  It’s not 2 .  IT’S  3 years free!! 

Susan,

Believe it or not, the thought hadn't even crossed my mind until your reminder just now.  I guess

that's the place I always wanted to be (and that I thought was an impossible goal) when I was still

a smoker.  It all seems so easy, in retrospect; even though I know that it wasn't easy by any means.

The past has a way of fooling us that way, eh?  Congratulations to us!

Cheers!

Wayne

Good morning!  I had it in my notes to congratulate both of you on 3 years!!!!  That is amazing!  Hope you are celebrating your success in some great way!  Thank you for being here and an inspiration to others!
