Sassy and Karren

I remember just a short time ago (long in both of your minds!) that you two were at 102 and 12 Days respectively and even then so ready to help each other and share your strong feelings for the support and strength that you both got from SSC!

What's even cooler is that you, Karren, have really devoted yourself to helping other non smokers stay that way! Now you and Sassy are 51 years old and made it into your fifties without dragging a pack of cigarettes with you... I just think that you deserve recognition for the steadfast way you've hung in there!

Cigarettes Not Smoked

This site has helped me tremendously - I have been a non-smoker for 12 years....it hasn't been easy every day but absolutely worth it....I've had 4,022 smoke free days -I saved $5,228.60 in wasted funds, I saved 528 days/1 hour/18 minutes and 3 seconds of my life....4022 cigarettes not smoked! I was a smoker from 12 years old to 50 years old....if I can do it - anyone can!

thank you! thank you! and yes....those dreams are startling for sure....i went from the dreams where i smoked and woke up sad...then i stomped on them in my dream...then i just said no....then i rationalized for a while and would reach for one but they kept breaking or i had no matches....then i turned them down...then i had the 'junkie thoughts dreams' where i thought one wouldn't hurt...it was really a process...and an exhausting one...so as long as i keep the smoking - stomping - and tar/nicotine frustrations in my sleep and no where else....i am okay....it is really great to have this group of supportive people to turn to...so thank you again to all of you....there is strength in numbers...and we're all number ONE!

Sassy, congratulations on reaching your goal! That's great! Those dreams that make you go "Whew" upon awakening

can be quite disturbing sometimes, but once you realize it for what it is, then you breathe a sigh and feel good about yourself. You're doing fantastic!

Happy Birthday

Sassy -

WOW - Good for you. Happy 50th. I'll be 50 come May next year. Your words really resonate with me. I feel the same way. I don't want to go into the fall and winter of my life as a smoker. I want to be free of the habit, and I want to be healthy when the grand-kids finally come.

Thanks for the post - good to know I'm not alone in how I feel/think.

Hi there everyone. First of all....thanks for all your support and encouragement for all these months...could not be where i am without the support of everyone here. I turned 50 yesterday. It was the first birthday in 35 years as a non-smoker...it was the first birthday in 35 years where i didn't have to leave a room to have a cigarette - finish a cigarette - hide the fact that i was smoking a cigarette....I told myself a few months ago that i could not enter the next phase of my life as a smoker..that being 50 should indicate some sense of maturity and strength...we all make mistakes in life but knowing what i know about the horrors of smoking...how could i continue to do so and consider myself an adult with a good head on her shoulders? so here i am...i accomplished my goal of being smoke free at 50. of course, the night before my birthday, i dreamt that i not only smoked...but smoked a pack...i sat on my couch and cried that i let myself down and needed to re-set my meter....but then i woke up and realized it was a bad dream....instead of saying "yikes, i am 50..." i said "wow...that was only a dream and i made it after all!" so thank you for being here ...all of you......WE ROCK!
