Kelly, I've been away a few days and obviously missed this.  Congratulations on being smoke free one full year!!!!  It looks good on you and you fully deserve this.  I'm so happy for you.  Hope you treat yourself to something really nice.

Anxious1
 
So glad to see you doing well...There is a certain amount of fear that we experience when we leave the cigs behind, but I believe that you have met that experience with patience and hope.  It is difficult to find better qualities for one to have, but both of those concepts can be difficult to practice over time.  I struggle with it all the time.  However, perhaps the old maxim that "practice makes perfect", and if we work on these things long enough they eventually become so ingrained in us that we no longer have to consciously seek them.  They travel with us,  always...At least I hope so...

Kelly, You are my hero and inspiration. For all you have had to go through and still hung onto your quit, when it got tough you got going and did the job. I think of that when I am having a hard time. Kelly did it, sometimes just barely hanging on by her fingernails, but she did it. It can be done, and I can do it too.  Thanks for leading the way
Huggles,

Congrats to you, Kelly! What an accomplishment...and I love what you wrote below...
 
"All of you, no matter where you are in your quit, or what you are experiencing, it is for a reason, a good reason.  Your freedom, your health and your self esteem."....
 
This is SO true--thanks for getting it down into words..we can all do it...
 
Thanks for sharing your journey with us so openly..
 
Hope you have a BIG reward planned..

Congratulations, Kelly, on a wonderful achievement and thank you for keeping me going on when I was flagging.  It was a rough beginning for you but you overcame it wonderfully.  And have been an inspiration for so many here.
 
I forgot about it being leap year this year so everyone who made it to a year actually made it the day before they thought they did.  I know I did.  I was going by my quit date.  So you are officially a year today.
 
Now, let's start working on year 2.
