Good for you straightflop!
One year is such a wonderful accomplishment. I am so glad to hear that you know that you will never smoke again. It must be a great feeling, and such a great reward in itself. You are truly an inspiration to all!

I just want to say that today is one whole year for me.  I never thought i would reach this point.  I know some of you just quitting are thinking the same thing.  Let me assure you that everyday is easier and easier.  I have not even thought of smoking until I started thinking about the 1 years point.  Otherwise it's nothing.  Just do it and tell yourself you will never smoke again no matter what.  that's it.
 
I spent the night in a Smokey bar (visiting another town for work and met some old friends)  It was strange.  Everyone smokes like it was no big deal.  you know what?  I know the big deal.  I know what it's like to wake up and crave a smoke.  i know what it;s like to walk 10 feet behind your family so you can smoke.  And I know what it's like to have Dr's tell you really should quit.  I know what it's like to feel embaressed when you take a break at work...I know it all.
 
I have been there... and there is no better feeling than saying after one year...I know I will never smoke again.
Thank you all and God bless all of you starting this fun adventure of being a non smoker.  it is easier than you think...
