Day 50

[susan_m]

  With the help and support of the EX community and my family, I put cigarettes down on December 4th, 2016 and started my cold turkey quit. 50 days later, I am stronger than ever.

  I love being a non-smoker and will never deprive myself of this distinction. I have worked hard for it and earned it; it's my gift to myself and my health, and I protect it fiercely. 

  I have learned so much over these last two months. I've learned about myself and so many of you.  I've seen strong quits crumble, I've seen people get up and try again. I've seen people go through tremendous physical, emotional and psychological challenges and I've seen people triumphantly hit major milestones in their journeys.  It's been an incredible experience to be a part of it, and I'm in awe of the strength that this community gives its members. I also learned that even the strongest need help and support, and that it can be found  here. I cannot stress enough how critical a role Become An Ex played in my quitting process. 

  Thank you to each of you who supported me through the crazy and unpredictable early stages of my quit. You were all so very present, which truly helped make the difference.

  Love,

  Susan
