Congratulations Blue Cloud and thanks for being here to lend your support to so many quitters, including me!
There are so many wonderful and worthy people here that it's too bad only one per month gets this special recognition (come on everyone...nominate someone you're proud of). I wish every quitter here had those special key rings and t-shirt mailed to them...it's an honour everyone who's quitting really deserves. I found a package just like yours in my mailbox last week and and I also felt blessed as you do. I'll follow in your footsteps and say thank you to everyone who nominated me and the mods for asking me to be in the HOF. I still find it hard to belive I've really quit and stayed quit through everything life's thrown at me. I'm so grateful for my freedom from nicotine!
Pam, you have every right to be in the Hall of Fame and I hope you wear your shirt and flash your key ring with pride. None of us addicts are perfect and few of us are able to kick this addiction to the curb on our first or sometimes .....???th attempts! What matters is that we keep on quitting until we make it stick. You've shown amazing strength to continue quitting despite your setback...I for one am very proud of you!
This site has helped an above average number of quitters not only quit but learn how to cope with their new lives. For those of you struggling, know that it will indeed get easier. The first few days/weeks/months can be tough but quitting is so much easier with the support and advice found here at SSC. You just have to hold on tight and take one second, one minute one day at a time. Those days add up fast and before you know it you'll feel so free you'll wonder why you didn't quit sooner!
