Milestones...

I don't come here very often, but do make it on my quit anniversary every
year. Many of you who read my 8 year anniversary post yesterday had such
nice kind words to say to me. It is great to know that my few words have
made a difference for some of you. Thank you all for letting me know.

What really strikes me is how many of us who have several years on our
meters still come back to share our milestones. That so many of us who made
it continue for years to note, and even celebrate the passing of each
milestone speaks volumes as to what a significant life event it is to quit,
particularly for those of us who smoked for many years.

So for all of you that have found freedom, congratulations, and I am
grateful to be in your company. To those who are still struggling, I look
forward to you joining us and feeling the joy and pride we feel.

Thank you jeff. I am glad to see this especially tonight! It was
between a cigarette and a cracker night. Well, we all know how those
nights are.
I am so glad to know you are doing well.
My best to you,
Suzie

I hope you now have one or two fewer crackers this morning.

It's seeing posts from you and others who have stayed strong for
years and kicked the nicotine demon all that time that keeps us who are
still in the beginning of the battle going on. For me, it's a
challenge: if they can do it, then by God I can too!
And well done you for staying the course all these years!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it is seeing guys like you
who have conquered the nicotine fiend, knocked him down and kicked him
in the testimonials, that keep me going on with my own personal battle.
I'm immensely grateful for your encouragement and have to admire the
length of your smoke-free time.
