I started this journey July 17, 2009.  It was a true journey.  I was on this site getting support from the many members.  I blogged and was in contact with many  members, who became friends. The site has changed and some of the members are no longer here but I'm certain that the support is still as great.  During my early years I blogged a lot.  As the years passed, my blogging slowed down.  I promised to return yearly to check in and give thanks to this site.  I am happily smoke-free.  I have seen so many improvements.  Health and financial.  Health insurance premiums go down when you can prove you are a non-smoker  Until next year...….Come Join Me!

Carenda!!!!!  A happy voice from the past.  Way back not too long after this site was born.  Great to see you.  And happiest of 10 Years to you!  I don't know about you, but I felt my 10th was almost as exciting as my first because of  those added benefits:  Our risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a person who is still smoking.  And our risk of cancer of the larynx and pancreas decreases.   And I'm looking forward to my 15th in a couple of years when the risk of coronary heart disease is equal to that of a non-smoker's.  There's always something to strive for on this quitting journey.  I think it's what keeps us in safe harbors.  Many cheers to you!  So glad you stopped in!
