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’m so happy to be among the quitters. I smoked about 50 years. If I cAn do this anyone can. I did love my smokes!
I may just be too young!
Maybe I can be Young At Heart Too (for the double entendre)!
YAY!
We ALL loved our smokes. That's the problem. But we moved on to loving our non-smoking lives just as well.
God, you know, what you just said created a trigger in me. "I did love my smokes." Why are we trying to deny that fact? I need to write a blog about that. I've been thinking about it for a while now. You helped spur it on. Thanks.
I remember thinking I would have to quit my job of 25 years if they made my campus non-smoking. Now - how crazy is THAT? Turns out they never actually did, but they created smoking areas that were a hike from my workplace so most of the time I didn't have time to get there to smoke. Made my days much more stressful, but I made it to 30, retired and quit smoking!!!
Oh, I’m so glad I quit! I would never want to go back to it. That’s why I have never smoked another cigarette, not one, not even one puff. I know that if I did I would be right back at it. Whoever said one is too many and a thousand is not enough was right!!! I am still an addict. I am just not practicing!
That was the key that turned the "I can't quit" lock for me. Realizing and treating my smoking as an addiction because it is.
I'm excited to be added next update. 6/18/2019
I sent an e-mail to make SURE of it!
