Over a year

I randomly logged in today to EX and saw that I quit 400 days ago. I just feel so . . . fantastic. I really do. Quitting nicotine a little over a year ago was the absolute best use of the lockdown time, or any of my time, that I could have chosen. It was hard at first but it got a lot easier quickly. And now that I'm over a year in I feel better physically and emotionally than I did before I quit. When I first quit I felt really sad for awhile but now I feel joy, happiness, and humor as much as I ever have, and the kicker is that I'm so much more consistently happy because there are no withdrawal induced peaks and valleys of stress in my days. Even when I'm doing something stressful my reactions feel much more smooth now. All those great benefits you've been hearing about quitting and staying quit are all true. Quitters, keep it up! You're going somewhere you'll love.

I love this statement: We are going some place we will love. Changing my attitude from - smoking is my friend ... To - bye, bye bad dream  - will be my new goal ... I am headed to a place I love, a place I haven't been since I was a kid, that I will LOVE. I'm going to write this down and put it on my fridge! Thank you. Congratulations!

@AxelsMom Totally! For me this idea was the ticket. I love my life this way, nicotine free 😊

Thank you all so much for the kudos, which I think are likes? And comments! I appreciate you all more than words can say.

Wow congrats on 400 days! I too randomly logged in today to see what the people who helped me get through the beginning of this journey were up to.. I have 83 days today! Looking back,  the beginning stages were so very difficult for me. I could not have done it without the support of such wonderful people. Real people! People who have quit, 1, 5, 10 even 20 years ago who still come onto the site to help and inspire others. Thank you for sharing your journey! I know that seeing this will help so many, including myself, to stay smoke free! Hats off to anyone who's reading this because that means you are here and you are trying! Keep kicking Butt!! or Butts I should say... hehe
