Sorry ros, i just saw your post.
 
Congratulations on such a milestone. That journey was a bit of an eye opener eh, won't be doing that again any time soon !
 
You post bought back so many memories for me which i can laugh about. The spur of the moment decision, no preparation, no quit method, fresh pack of cigarettes staring at me, overflowing ashtrays, draws full of 'dreg' filled cigarette packets for emergencies.. cos you 'never know', loose tobacco strewn all over the insides of my car. I remember frantically typing away at the keyboard on day 2 looking for the magic pill. 
 
Very humbling, well done !

Ros, how wonderful for you to reach the 5 year mark!  I'm so glad I got to meet you last month in London as you truly are a champion here at the SSC!  And your words are so true!  Yes, a HUGE reward is in order to celebrate!  Thank you for all you have done to help me and others to remain quit!  I will toast you tonight to celebrate!  Here's to the next 5 smoke free years, and beyond!!!

Oh, Ros, many, many cheers and hugs to you, my dear. What a beautiful post! Perhaps we walked hand in hand but you did it all by yourself.
 
Much love,
