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.)

@Jordan-11-1-12 , @hattie How GREAT to see you two! Wish the new platform could enable upkeep of this list, but alas it's not possible. @SuzyQ411 Suzy I was the one who kept up with everybody's quit dates and relapses after my fellow keeper of the quits passed. When the platform changed this last time, we were all unable to edit past posts. I can't add a thing or change a thing on that list. And, believe me, that grieves me. Wish I could. But you know - YOU are the keeper of your quit and it's history. Ultimately we all are. So just keep rejoicing in your freedom, as I do!
One of my favorite things is when medical professionals' expressions relax when I answer the, "How long ago did you quit," question.
I never noticed that! I'll have to look more closely. lol. I just love checking the "no I don't smoke" box. And "former smoker." Such a sense of pride in that! A hard-fought battle indeed it was!
You are totlly right @Giulia : " YOU are the keeper of your quit and it's history. "
I recall whene you were "gatekeeper" for this list and what a daunting task that must have been!! And I send a very belted thank you for all that work!~
And, BTW, I just loved. loved, loved that charming porch photo you posted. Such an inviting place to curl up in a chair or hammock!
Thanks so much for keeping me on the list, Giulia -- It's getting to be too long between my visits here, but my quit is still golden. You are our leader, my friend, and I consider myself so lucky to have had you here (well, 2 sites ago, but "here" nonetheless) to hold my hand and keep my spirits up when they flagged, so I could still consider myself the Happy Quitter! Soon to be 9 years!! Wow.
Ah DJ - and I am lucky that you were here! This post makes me smile. Coming up on 9 years, how 'bout that! Stay golden!
Wow 5 years, time does fly, good to be reminded that it’s something to celebrate, a true victory. I still hang out with friends that smoke on occasion and I wish I could help them to quit. It really has to start with you not wanting to do it, then a group like this can do their magic. Cudos to all of us!
What a nice surprise to get an email showing my quit date still living free and clean. I have been recommending this sight to some you people I work with. Hoping they see the light a lot faster and sooner thank I did. Everyone have a great safe free day. Love to all
Great to see so many here! Congrats to everybody.
I'm pleased to say I've been here for over five years now.
5 + years too. Congrats
