Read a member curated list of EX Community content over 10+ years
AS OF March 13, 2021
Total 520
This is a compilation of members who are part of the 6% club - those with a ONE YEAR QUIT or more who have not taken one puff of a cigarette or e-cig, or chawed on a chew (or is that chewed on a chaw?) since their quit date. A very elite group indeed! Those who are active Elders, (i.e. those offering support on a regular basis) will have a smiley face beside their names. If you are active and don't have a smiley, let me know.
Newbies - this is for you. Every one of these people has been where you are. And every one of them became a successful quitter. YOU CAN TOO! Check out their blogs. Read. Learn. Do. Nothing makes us happier than adding a new Elder to the list!
Please note: If you relapse (even one puff) you will be removed from the list until you have achieved another 365 days smoke-free. NOPE means NOPE.
I will attempt to update it as often as I can. Any errors or if you've been omitted by accident, please let me know. What an amazing group!
(NOTE: You can switch from alphabetical order to chronological order simply by clicking on the Quit Date heading. It acts as a toggle. One click for alphabetical one click to go back to chronological or visa versa.)

I really like having this list of the long-time quitters! I am hoping they
all remain true to their commitment & continue a life of freedom from that
addiction! I will NEVER return to that life!!!

Happier2 What I term "active" are those Elders who are participating on a daily, weekly, at the very least monthly basis. Participating in the sense of actively supporting other members here - be it in blogs, discussions, answering questions, personal messaging, passing on the latest research about the effects of smoking or vaping or new knowledge about NRT's, information about smoking related diseases such as COPD, etc. Dropping in only to celebrate one's own milestone isn't going to get you a smiley face next to your name. The purpose of the Elder's List is manyfold. It's to show newbies that a) long-term quits are possible and b) inform them of those active Elders they can lean for immediate support. It's a place where anyone can come, click on a name and be transported to that Elder's page. There, all the blogs and discussions authored by that person, their personal journey and strugglings (or not!) from day one can be read, studied and learned from. There is much wisdom to be had from that. The list is also a personal badge - hard-earned and well won - of perseverance, steadfastness, commitment and pride. Sometimes knowing that there IS such a list gives a member incentive to "keep on!" who might otherwise give up the ship. Hope that explains a little of my thinking in creating the List and my concept of what "active" means.
YAY! Thank you Giulia for adding me.
