Dear Rusty,
 
Congrats on such fantastic stats!!!!
 
Thanks also for the words of affirmation and belief that everyone can quit smoking! Yes--it is so true that allowing yourself to make your quit your number one priority--is how it gets done & stays done.
 
Life is good without the nasty addiction.

RUSTY!!!!  The minute I saw "Five Years Today" I knew it was you.  Congratulations!!!  As you said you don't come around much, but I can tell you have been a positive influence in each attempt I have made and still one of my biggest supporters.  Your presence here is unmeasurable to all the help you have given and the guidance.  I sure am one of the lucky ones,  you took me under your "wings" and never have given up on me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  You are an amazing person!!

Hi Rusty,
That's great to see how you have changed since you quit 5 years ago.  I also really not ever really wanting to smoke anymore even though I do think about the subject of smoking and still notice smokers dangling cigs from cars etc.  I think the great news is once you are through with the addiction part of smoking (physical and psychological) then all it really takes is to stay quit is to realize that we cannot even entertain the notion that we can smoke another cigarette again. The nicotine monster is just dormant and will stay that way as long as we say NOPE.  I'm glad to hear also that you can now spend your time doing other fun stuff instead of thinking about your once addiction.  Thanks for sharing. Ron
