I does feel a very long time since I quit smoking....I suppose 6 years is a very long time!
There are very few people left who were around when I quit, but those who knew me know that this site played a massive part in my successful quit. I recommend it to all new quitters and those thinking about it.
Of late I have noticed a huge lack of sticking power in so many new quitters. It seems as if one tiny glitch can make them give up and smoke that one that takes them down the slippery path. They say they are determined to quit and it is so important to them, then out of the blue they are saying they are sorry they slipped. Posting here and chatting to others in the same situation can help so much BEFORE smoking that one cigarette.
I'm celebrating my quit here today, but I do this everyday anyway each time I see my Hall Fame Key ring in the door to my house, and when I think of the FREEDOM I have gained from quitting.
Be Positive! Remain Strong! and Whatever it Takes...Just Don't Smoke!!!
I was so sad this morning to read of Karen's death on Facebook. She had a relatively short time from hearing her diagnosis until the end, but with ther usual feistiness, she continued fighting throughout.
I think of her husband and family now, and wish them strength and courage to overcome the next difficult time.
It was great to see some of the VERY old (+ 6 years) folks, and the not so old. All of us have done ourselves a favour and I hope that you all are enjoying your new freedom....as I am. Courage and strength to the new quitters and those thinking of quitting!
Congratulations on your engagement! It's so good to hear from you and to know how happy you are. I don't log in often these days but I'm so glad I saw your post.
I remember when you joined, and all the fun ( and trials) we all had with the SSC family.
I also commend the non-smoking life as worth whatever it takes to become smoke-free!
Best wishes to you, your fiancé and your future life together.
10 years ago...2002 Piece of advice...Quit Smoking NOW! In fact I wish that 20 or 30 years ago I had listened to that advice!
10 years into the future...I will be so happy to reach that point having fought cancer for the past 3 years. If I make that 10 years I will have only one piece of advice...Keep doing what you are doing 'cos' it's working. Keep fighting and remain positive!
