Well, the quitnet is finished effective January 6, at 9 a.m. While I am so sad to see this support community shut down, it will forever remind me of how I was able to quit this killer addiction. I have 940 days of freedom because of these reasons;
by seeing that others could quit and it made me think...maybe I can do this, maybe I can live without cigarettes.
I've been free of the compulsion to smoke for 940 days because I recognized I could no longer poison my body and get away with it.
I stayed nicotine-free by re-framing how I thought about smoking:
I am sad that quitnet is going away tomorrow morning, happy that it was there for me and ecstatic you are here for me.
Here is a picture of me throwing a temper tantrum because the quit next is closing down - but all is okay - I no longer smoke.
I hope to re-join some of my fellow quitnet people and meet new people who are heroes of quitting a deadly addictiion
