A Successful Quit?

0 21 42

Just curious. I've seen many here write about their "successful" quit of a week or two, or couple of months. Some speak as if it's a done deal & there's nothing else to concern them as far as quitting goes.

"I'll never smoke another cigarette as long as I live."
"I'm through with smoking for life."
"I know I'll never smoke again."

How do you really know when you have a successful quit? We have members here that were quit for years & threw it away in a moment of weakness. I guess what really concerns me is that I feel a lot of you don't take it as serious as you should. That evidenced by the number of "slips" in recent weeks.

This IS a matter of life or death...believe it or not. Make a real commitment.

Keep on keepin on,

I began this quit journey on October 1, 2004. I'm not doing it for my wife or children nor in memory of the many family members or friends I have lost due to this addiction. I'm doing it for Mike.
