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 am always so excited to see my name on this list! I can hardly believe that it will soon be 4 years! What a thrill!
Thanks for the recognition. It helps to know and remember how hard it is to quit; there are still times I'd love to have a cigarette.
We ALL feel that way from time to time, I think - but we KNOW better!! Good thing, huh?
There are times many of us would still love to have a cigarette. But instead of it being as it was in the beginning with that feeling lasting 24/7 - it's only about 10 times a year and it lasts about 30 seconds. And THAT is definitely manageable!
Thank you, Giulia...when I get that "feeling" I remember that it will NEVER be as my addictive brain wants me to think it will be..the lovely first hit which really is just feeding the withdrawal symptoms...I am over withdrawal...that first hit will BE AWFUL!!!!!!
It feels AWESOME to be on this list!!!
You’re absolutely right!
Yes! In July I will be 2 years nicotine free. Love It!
TriGirl It IS awesome to be on this list. It's a very select group who did everything they needed to and stuck with it NO MATTER WHAT for 365 days. No mean feat! And those who succeed at it year after year are all Heroes in my book. (Well even someone who gets through one day is a Champion.) Because it takes - for some of us - an upkeep in awareness as to how powerful this addiction and how fragile we are in relation to it. Losing a quit before a year is up is sad enough, losing it after many years is even sadder to me. Because the cost of another Day One is so great. So Kudos on your magnificent achievement!
TriGirl Many congrats on your beautiful quit!
