10 years is a crazy-sounding amount of time to someone like me who is only a few months in.  Thank you for checking back in here and letting us know it IS possible. I hope to do the same one day.

Kelly!! (or Anxioux1 as you were )
 
I am so pleased that you managed to make your quit stick - and for 10 years!! That is marvellous!!
 
I am going to be honest here and feared for your success as I remember your anxiety continually forced you back to smoking. Under those conditions, your achievement is nothing less than miraculous. You should be very proud!
 
As for "you can all do it" - I couldn't agree more!! I think us winners are testament to that claim. Like I've always said "if you want it badly enough, you will succeed" just like you and I

Hello my name is Kelly I was on this site gosh I lost track I know my quit date was 12/17 I'm thinking ten years ago? The system was updated so I can't see my old posts. I think about this place all the time and I still have my stop smoking shirt I received!!! It was my third attempt, prior using gum, patches and Wellbutrin. Hm it was the year Peter Jennings the news castor died of lung cancer that was what pushed me. I have always suffered from anxiety and his death was the reason I did I guess. I also had been I'm my severely abusive marriage for about 14 years and that didn't help. I found this site and literally lived on it. Every time I was having a phycjotic break I would post and a drove of encouragement would be received in minutes. I used chanted the final quit. I also went on anti depressants and xanax to help me not give in. I was a professional chain smoker and I did it. My lord it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I bet all of you want to ask do you still think about cigarettes or crave them? NO!! I don't anymore. For me it really took like 3 years. Now my ex husband (high five) the one who said I could never do it I was to weak and he could go it cold turkey. Well I did and he did not. He actually smokes way more. So I only really think about smoking when I see my co workers and him being a slave to that addiction and smile to myself and say oh yes I did!!! You can I promise just reach out for help before you give in. Good luck to all of you. If you want to ask any questions I would love to answer them my name was anxious1 I think I spelled it that way. I send all of you hugs!!
