I had wanted to put out a blog for my 11th  year quit celebration that might uplift and promote the newly quit, but too much stuff going on to - well shall we just say the "muse" wasn't with me today.  But I do want to thank all of you who took the time to give your congratulations.  Means a lot.

If I have learned anything during the past 11 years of not smoking, it is that milestones never stop feeling good when they're achieved, that they are worth striving for and worth recognizing.  Because each milestone encourages the next.  And it is those very milestones, when placed one upon the next, that add up to a forever quit.  

If you've got one, never let it go.  If you're striving for one - believe that it's possible.  If you've fallen for the excuses and false whisperings - see them for what they are, learn from them and move on to accepting the commitment - no matter what.  For that is the only way that you will be forever free.  

I wish you health

much more than wealth

I wish you free

Member since MAY 2008. I quit smoking March 1, 2006. I smoked a pack and a half a day for about 35 years. What did it take to get me smoke free? Perseverance, a promise not to smoke, and a willingness to be uncomfortable for as long as it took to get me to where I am today. I am an Ex but I have not forgotten the initial difficult journey of this rite of passage. That's one of the things that's keeping me proudly smoke free. I don't want to ever have another Day 1 again. You too can achieve your goal of being finally free forever. Change your mind, change your habits, alter your focus, release the myths you hold about smoking. And above all - keep your sense of hewmer. DAY WON - NEVER ANOTHER DAY ONE. If you still want one - you're still vulnerable. Protect your quit!
