One year quit.... almost

29 days from now, one year ago I smoked my last sicarette, I’m not bragging by no means but I feel really good about my quit. I never thought I’d get this far. March 1, 2019 was my first day of freedom. It has been a long road I will not lie, there have been MANY TIMES that I just wanted to throw in the towel and give o. To my addiction. But I just chose not to smoke. A friend of mine kept telling me to remember JFT and NOPE. I thought that it was easy for her to say she already had her year in and was working on her 2nd year, she couldn’t possibly understand where I was coming from. Well I know now that she knew exactly what I was going through!!!! Please if you are new to this or are thinking about quitting take it one day at a time, one moment at a time, one day plus one day adds up to 2 days, one week plus one week adds up to 2 weeks, one month plus one month adds up to 2 months , it really isn’t long before your first year creeps up on you!! That other group had a “ grand staircase “ for one year newbies I wish this group celebrated similar milestones! JFT I WILL NOT SMOKE, and I will take NOT ONE PUFF EVER....... thanks Gail you’ve been my rock that God gave me to lean on!

Thank you Gai.C for believing in me, as I don’t normally believe in myself. It was a long road, but a road that I’m glad that I traveled. ❤️❤️

That's great.  I know how much celebrating that first year smoke free meant to me.  Now I'm looking forward to my 2 year anniversary in March.  That's true.  Time moves so slowly when you first quit and before you know it, you're celebrating a year.  Congrats.

I’m on day 6 and really appreciate you sharing your journey of nearly a year. One day at a time is the way to go. Sometimes one minute at a time is needed. I’m a 35 yr smoker so this is difficult but this group helps so much. NOPE is  a great acronym for me!  Thanks again and congratulations!
