One year anniversary.

Tomorrow is my one year anniversary of not smoking! I can truly say that I could’ve never done it without the people on this website. I literally live on the website day and night for the first six months.  Now I rarely go to the website but that’s OK. It was there when I needed them!

Yesterday  we buried my husband after the celebration of life a year and a half  after he died. It was perfect and I am now at more peace.

I can honestly say that I did want a cigarette several times as the first year anniversary approach but I think it was a combination of saying goodbye to my husband and still trying to correct my hip surgery. I did not give in and I never will.

just employed my breathing with the freedom on the Xhale and always the words not one cigarette ever.   It always works for me and I am so grateful I found what works for me.  You will too if you do it day by day, and sometimes hour by hour. But it is all worth the effort.  Thank you thank you thank you!

I cannot thank all these people on the this website enough.❤️❤️ To all of you.

I started smoking at 25 and it took me a year to learn to inhale so I really was hooked by 26. I have smoked 50 years and quit August 11, 2020 so today is my 28th day. My husband of 54 years died March 1 and he had smoked for 65 years. I knew when he died I would quit as I had tried 5 times before but his smoking made me jealous or I could smell it. Used him as an excuse to start smoking again. I am retired from a university. Raised in Nebraska and living in Iowa since 1978.
