It has been 10 years today that i decided to quit smoking. It was a rough year. One and a half months into my quit my Mother-in -Law (who was more like a regular mom) to me passed away suddenly. I thought my whole world was gonna end but i didnt give in to smoking because she was so PROUD that i was quitting.  The people on this site helped me so much NOT to go back. The words of support and the heartfelt condolences meant the world to me. . Months later the whole basement flooded. 4 ft of water . That nic demon was sure tugging at me again, and again with the HELP of this site i prevailed.  I would sit here and CRY, VENT and do whatever  I needed to do so i wouldnt go back to smoking.  LIFE GOES ON. ups and downs. YOU CANT GIVE UP THE FIGHT.  Use this site and support. It is so worth it.

You are living proof of one of my favorite sayings:  There is never a good reason to smoke; there are only excuses.

So glad you stopped in to prove it right!

Congratulations on your wonderful 10 year quit!

So wonderful to see you!  And I was happily here with you from the very beginning.    I don't know about you, but my 10 year anniversary was almost as exciting as my first year.  'Cause at that 10 year mark they say:  

"After 10 years, a person's chances of developing lung cancer and dying from it are roughly cut in half compared with someone who continues to smoke. The likelihood of developing mouth, throat, or pancreatic cancer has significantly reduced."

Great that you jumped back in here to shout out your magnificent accomplishment!  Kudos!
