I'm impressed. It's so easy, as someone was saying on here the other day, to feel like you're doing this to impress someone. But that it really comes down to doing for ourselves, being proud of ourselves and celebrating it ourselves even if no one else cares anymore years after we've quit.
You have a great attitude and seem to have really learned what it takes to quit forever.

Cobanfan didn't come to mind at the moment, but it was said in such a (you bore me way) it took me off guard. Everyone is entitled to an off day, I'm still sensitive about the quit I guess, cause it kind of stung a little. :)Sensitive Marie

HIHIHI not really, I'm rarely speechless, I was just sharing with a ?buddy...I've been quit over 4 months now.. (so proud) here comes the answer: how long are we going to celebrate this?
My answer: with a smile of course, if you stick with me get used to it. Every month for the rest of my life.
You see nicodemon speeks with fork tongue, even in the mouth of non-smokers.
I'm still a happy non-smoker preparing for my next vacation... :)One day at a time Marie

yeh celebrations are of the essence, one can never stop celebrating freedom from addiction.
I think there's a city in the centre of Florida state called Celebration (correct me if I'm wrong) maybe I should go there
:)I'll start with playing golf in Arizona in Feb, hubby and I have to check on weather first (we have no clue) 70f would be fine for golf.
Have a good night all :)Marie
