Wow, you are all just so amazing!
Honestly I never realized just how many of my quit "era", those who were ahead of our time and those climbing aboard the quit train after us are succeeding at beating the tar out of this addiction. Do you think the success rate of quitters here at SSC is the highest around? I do, but I guess the stats are a trade secret.
I'm shocked that any of my posts from so long ago are still here, let alone that people are still reading them. Just goes to show you...post what you're feeling, thinking, are going through or have a plan for and you never know who can benefit from it (even yourself).
Alohakeia, Thanks, that's high praise coming from someone of your caliber...right back atcha woman! I hope you're enjoying "the wonderfulness of smokefree lives" as much as I am.
Goofy, Your support to others here is second to none. Keep up your great quit and your wonderful attitude.
Lady, my mentor and my namesake. Your support has made a huge difference in my quit and in my life. I can't thank you enough for being there for me at every turn. You are a real
in my books.
Jules, those 22 days are worth their weight in gold...you're doing so great!!! You've gotten through the roughest part of you quit, CONGRATULATIONS!
Ahhh Stormy, how good to see you and just look at your awesome stats. Your encouragement has been greatly appreciated. I always admired how you took your quit in stride plus I seem to remember some fun watching movies and pj parties with friends. :)
Astrofan/mike, Thanks, I see you're posting lots so you're helping many people too! Keep up the great quit you've got going.
Deb, Wow, look at those beautiful 94 days! I wish I could write half as well as some of the quitters who've inspired me. The current people are posting some really amazing stuff. If you ever have time to do searches for old posts, may I suggest anything by Duffis, Golferman, Shevie, N2K, Bubba, Rusty, Lolly, Penitent, Luna, (ok some of you are still posting, but your older stuff was great too) and ......oh my gosh the list is so long and I've barely scratched the surface!
Audrey, Thanks for your friendship, your encouragement, your advice and your caring. I've been taking notes from you and watching your numbers grow since the day I got here...kudos on your job well done.
Den, you're doing so well with your quit and helping tons of people along the way! Congratualtions to you too and I hope you're keeping your good self rewarded too!!
Jim, I just love your sense of humour (that's Canuck spelling of humor for all the Americans here). Look at you cruising past 90 days, way to go! Don't worry, I'll be checking in as often as possible to see what's happening so try to keep everyone on the straight and narrow ok?
Jan I remember your kind words and wonderful advice helping me since day 1. I'm so glad you're here making this your final quit. I'm so proud of you but not nearly as proud as you should be of yourself! My hat's off to you girl.
Grin look at you so close celebrating your first year smoke free. You should be very proud. Love your positive attitude "Loving life without smoking!" is a wonderful tag line.
Thanks again everyone and please take care of your quits. A very wise man once wrote "quits don't just fall out of the air, people make them happen".
