Well my friends and fellow quitters. Today I hit the milestone of being quit for one year. Needless to say I am overjoyed that I have made it. When i first quit and joined this forum, I have to say that I was so envious of those members who were in their months, year or years quit. Today I can say that I have battled the war and come out the other end. I made myself hate the disgusting things a f...

Stay strong and fight the fight. We the addicted smokers can and will always beat the addiction, we just need to maintain focus and ignore the side effects which are always very short lived in the scheme of things.
