Thanks so much to both of you! Boy it has definitely been a bumpy ride! I am still a lil unsure of when that peace comes, but I know ONE THING.......I will not have a puff ever! NOPE! I know for me that THAT is not an option! If I do I will be back full blown smoking in no time. So I have reluctantly accepted that I am an addict. And the only way to stay smomber is not not ever indulge! 
 

***side note I have 2 more pounds to lose to get back to my before smoking/Covid weight! Yeah. This is my new focus! 
 

Susan and Lore, been an interesting,amazing, bumpy ride to get here.....but so happy to have you here to support me! 
Couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks for your support and the humorous distraction with the games! Been great! 
 

Hugs and more hugs to you both! 

Hey Chris!
 

Did I miss your one year day? I’m so sorry!

Big big congratulations to you!!! 

How does it feel???

Thank you.  I told someone the other day that I do still have moments I miss it but they don't last and I feel so much better.  I don't get proud of myself usually  but this is certainly an accomplishment and I am proud.

How are you?

I am proud. Thank you.  1 year and 16 days.  It feels great.

Hey Chris......congratulations on 1 year! Yes I still think about it too.......we smoked for SO LONG, that I think it may take some time for me at least to really feel like I am a non smoker.

Believe me very happy to have quit , but still waiting for the “peace.”

CONGRATS FOR JOINING THE CLUB!

Just remember its the drug not the taste, smell or the fact we were burning our lungs and filling ourselves with chemicals.  Neither of us want that ever again.

I’m good, thank you!

Oh my Chris....you absolutely should be SO PROUD of yourself!!! For this and many other things I’m certain! I will be one next week and there are moments I’m still not sure about this. Ugh! Gonna do it but like Eve, no peace for me either, lol!  Ahhh...perhaps it is one of those “no rest for the wicked” things, haha. 
So glad you are still here! How’s that Grand Baby????

Your baby is 18?!?!?! Wow! You will join the club VERY SOON, and then it becomes the waiting club........waiting for the peace. I know darn well, that if we can get through 2020, we can get through this.......I hope you are wrong about no rest for the wicked! Otherwise I will never have the peace...lol! 
 

18......ok the squirrel took over....wow. 
 

RE Cheetos-........

it wasn’t me

Congratulations Chris, well done on  One year plus!    CHeers!!!    

The grandbaby is great thanks.  So one down for you and a healthier life ahead.  Way to go.  I agree this is not easy but getting easier.  Always those moments.  You're feeling better so its easy to wonder if it is necessary so remember why you quit.  I'm sure you weren't happy with the smell, addiction and knowing what harm you were doing to yourself.  You're so much better off than you were a year ago.
