You’re not alone. 411,000+ real posts from people who showed up for each other. Read a thread, share a win, leave a tip - your words could be the nudge someone needs today.
Thanks for the bump Rusty. I would like to add for the newcomer first welcome. This will be the best gift you could ever give your self. Some will come here and struggle some and keep on going, unfortunately some of you will slip up and return to begin again and some of you will fade away (hope this is not you).
You are going to meet some wonderful friends here as I have. I would love to take credit for my quit but I can not. Sure I am the one that did not light up, but it was words of wisdom, friends and being prepared that has helped me stay quit this time.
I would not be quit today if it were not for some that have stayed with me from the beginning, yes meeting new ones have helped and are my friends today, but never forget the ones that reached out to you in the beginning, they are special.
I want to wish you all well and welcome to SSC.
Keep the Quit

Hey Sparky,
Great post and you are right it is just in time for all the New Years quitters to read. If it only reaches one of them we can be thankful.
A Happy and Healthy New Year to all.

Thank you all for the kind words. I wish I could take credit but I just shared with you lesson learned. We go though each day and learn a little more about ourselves and life. You are all part of this journey and I thank you.
Lainey, I don't think there will be a book, but I like the title :p
Anna I saw that show too, but I can't think of the name of it either LOL

Sparky,
You are a real winner! I'm so very proud of you. I completely understand your concept about addict. I had been married to an addict and condemned him for years after our divorce. There was NO WAY that I was an addict too! Once someone pointed that out to me and I came to terms with it, I just couldn't give up the fight. It is a hard pill to swallow. Aren't you glad we are free now???
Congratulations and enjoy your smoke free New Years!
