Mike, congratulations!  I can think of 1,000 reasons to celebrate this milestone!  You've been a huge part of the SSC, helping all of us stay focused on our quits!  I hope you found a special reward to celebrate!!!  Here's to the next 1000 smoke free days, and beyond!

thanks to all of you for the kind words , that's the way quitting works here , strength with each other.
reward? just being able to take deep deep breaths and enjoy pure fresh air , no wheezing or coughing anymore!

Hey Quit Buddy!!!
 
      Huge congrats on your "Grand" anniversary!!!!  My virtual arms are wrapping a big bear hug around ya!!! What Mike didn't relay to y'all is that he and I originally shared the same quit date on Wednesday, March 5, 2008!  He had to go and play poker that Friday ...  I warned him!!    All is great, though...  Mike hopped right back up on the back of that nico-demon the next Wednesday and kicked that sucker's ash!!!   I am so proud of you, buddy!!! 
 
      I hope you have a great reward planned for your big accomplishment!  I did go out and buy that laptop for my reward!!!  Now I just need a little time to use it a bit more!  I'll be drinking a toast to you this evening, buddy!!!
 
          Way to go!!!
 
                Jim

Wow , 1000 days ago I set out on a journey that I did not think would go very well. I wanted to quit smoking , but I didn't think I had the guts to do what it would take to quit smoking , everyone "wants" to quit.I had tried so many times and failed , but then I signed up here and decided to give it another shot.
At this site I found my strength in the team atmosphere here. Everyone encouraging each other , and sometimes "tough love".
Today 1000 days later I have not had even one puff , no cigars either.I am especially grateful to my good friend Jim {Hot S1o2} , Jim really got me started with some solid advice , we quit 7 days apart and call each other still for encouragement.
This post by the way is not about me or for me , this post is intended to help you new quitters,Wrap your arms around your quit and GO GET IT !You can do it right here a day at a time , a week at a time , a month at a time , 100 days and even 1000 days at a time.
I'm still quitting , how about you guys ?
God bless you all and thank you for helping me quit,
Mike/astrofan
