What comes next?

My quit stats on EX tell me I'm at exactly 4 months now.  It doesn't quite square up with number of days (122) but close enough.  It's just a calendar.  BUT...

What comes after No Man's Land?  Or does NML kind of slowly transition, fade away so to speak, and meld into the eventuality of the 6% who make it to a year?

I'm only being a tiny bit serious because I know full well that the numbers aren't as important as the attitudes.  In reality, the important things are those moments of awareness of how precious our lives are.

*Taking a beautiful deep breath of fresh air*

*Taking in the sweetness of Spring scents*

*Swinging your arms, hands open, walking briskly*

*Holding a baby, being in that moment completely*

What comes next?  Whatever I want.

I became nicotine-free on Christmas Day 2017. That's what I use as my quit date. I had smoked cigarettes for 45 years, then vaped Juuls for a few months before quitting cold turkey when I used up my supply of pods. I am a retired widow, living in Upstate NY.
