I haven't had the opportunity to be on since before Christmas. I hope everyone here had a wonderful holiday season. I am still not smoking, thanks in large part to all of you here. It's now been since December 10, 2018 that I had my last cigarette. Right before my one year anniversary, I got a new tattoo to celebrate. Olive Oyl on my right forearm. My husband has Popeye on his left forearm. We...

Oh my gosh. I have not had internet for what seems like forever. It's been 2 or 3 months since I last checked in. I hope this finds all of my friends on here doing well-and not smoking. Today is the 1 year anniversary of my surgery and quitting smoking. My health is amazing and I love being a non-smoker! Yesterday my husband took me out and got me a new tattoo for my anniversary. He has had a...

Hello everyone! I hope this finds you all doing well and more importantly, not smoking. Things are going great for my husband and I. He is working really hard at his new job and already earning bonuses. We are both non-smokers now. 39 weeks and 3 days for me. 3 months for my husband. We're saving money and should be able to look for a little bigger place in the spring. (I'm in the states) My ki...

Hello my friends! It has been a while since I have checked in. With having to find a new residence and then moving, it's been a busy time. It's my 35 week anniversary of quitting today. I couldn't have done it without all of you. Your support was so instrumental in my quit process. I only hope that all of you have been as blessed as I have.

I received an email saying that I hadn't visited for a while. I thought I would see how everyone is doing. And, give an update on my status.

Hi everyone. I want to apologize to all of you. I haven't been able to be on here lately to lend support. Trying to get ready to move has kept me busy. Tomorrow (6/10) is the 6 month anniversary of the day I had my last cigarette. I couldn't have done it without all of you . You're an amazing group of people. I have had some ups and downs the last half year, but I haven't smoked and for that I a...

I just wanted to share that it is the 21 week anniversary of my last cigarette! I have gone through and am still going through anxiety riddled problems, but refuse to give in to the urge to have a smoke. Thanks to all of you for your support and kind words through all of this. You all ROCK!!

December 10, 2018. One of the best days of my life. The day! Had my last cigarette. I have dealt with more medical issues the last two years than ever before, and all because of smoking. Friday, I had to have a breast biopsy. Nothing to do with smoking, I don't think. Thank God the results came in negative for malignancy. I couldn't be more grateful to God, and for any and all prayers sent up o...

Saw my Cardiologist on Friday. Thank God he told me everything looked great after my stress test. I saw my regular doctor early this morning. She says my blood work looks great, except for my thyroid levels. Easy fix. Nothing to do with smoking. Then I had an ultrasound at my surgeons office. Again, I believe all is well. So, my health is great, super duper, wonderful. I am celebrating my 18 w...

I am at 124 days smoke free, or almost 18 weeks. I mentioned last week that I am having difficulties lately because of major upheavals causing major stress. I haven't smoked and I am not going to but I am finding it hard to find something else to occupy my mind. My husband still hasn't found a job and we have about 2 months before we have to start moving to-somewhere. I can't work because I am...
