Thank you

It's been a while since I have posted anything, feel like I need to check in.

My quit date was 7/11/2020. I have now made it over a WHOLE YEAR with no cigarettes. Not a single puff.

I can't believe how far I have made it. Other than the random intrusive thought (usually when by myself, driving past the places I used to stop to smoke), I don't really think about it.

This time, last year, I was counting minutes, seconds, hours, just trying not to squirm out of my own skin. My anxiety was through the roof, I felt like I couldn't breathe, I was emotional, and I wondered to myself whether sleep would ever come again. And I was on this site every day, multiple times a day. 

I am so grateful to this site and its members. I do not know if I could have made it through those first days/weeks/months alone. Maybe I could have, but thanks to you, I did not have to.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.
