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.)

Wow 8 big years. Kudos Kathryn! Here's to many, many more to infinity!
Congratulations!
How wonderful for you. Congratulations
Congratulations Kathryn, beautiful, round number
Thanks for the list. It's awesome. I feel blessed not only to be on it but to be in the company of such "role models." Sending blessings, love and light to all.
Pretty amazing group, eh? I couldn't agree more! Light and love back to you.
I don’t post very often but I read the posts every day. I have been dealing with some health issues the last couple of years. I’ve had polymyalgia rheumatica for at least two years now and have been tapering from 20mg prednisone down to 5mg. I’ve gained a lot of weight. I’ve been hospitalized for diverticulitis. I’m now very careful what I eat. I have also had an ulcer and gastropareses and something with my esophagus. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and can no longer walk stairs very gracefully. Oh, well! I do all I canard at nearly 73 these are all thing I can deal with. Some people are not so fortunate. Thanks to all of you at “becomeanex” I have remained smokefree through it all. Thanks to all of you!
Aw, that's a lot of health problems. I'm sorry. Had never heard of gastropareses, so looked it up. Gee, that sounds really unpleasant. Hopefully watching what you eat helps. And certainly not smoking does! It's great that you're able to taper down on the prednisone. At 70 I'm discovering all the joys of arthritis myself. We just have to keep moving as much as we're able DESPITE it! Stay beautifully free!
You might want to consider adding avian3 to the list (Quit Date 9-14-10). I do believe she qualifies for it.
A big shout out to DavesTime and minihorses. We started out pretty close in time on this journey. I'm so glad you both made it. I'm looking forward to reading about your non-smoking life adventures.
