This moment marks 9 years since my last cigarette.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

Jesus Christ, I'd love a smoke right about now. :crazy:

[Odin2005]

1. Congrats!

:party:

[Luciferous]

2. Congrats! It's been a little over 4 years for me, and there are days

I would give my right arm for a cigarette!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. Ain't it the truth?

[Skittles]

4. weird how it never quite goes away

I just remind myself how disappointed I would be in myself if I indulged :)

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. Yeah. I remind myself how tough quitting was and how I never want to go through it again.

That and the fact my friends would never cut me as much slack again as they did the first time.

[rurallib]

9. it does go away - been 37 years for me

can't remember when, but at some point cigarettes will no longer have any hold on you.

[Skittles]

15. it's not that I feel they have a hold on me

for the most part I don't think about them - but every once in a while - say, when I catch a whiff of second hand smoke - I just think, damn, I'd like one :D

[Gidney N Cloyd]

20. Bingo. It's like meeting an old lover and thinking "Yeah... but... NAHHHH."

[Skittles]

22. EXACTLY!!!

:rofl:

[snagglepuss]

6. Congrats. Stopping is no small feat. Smoking is up there with heroin.

Pat yourself on the back and get thee some marshmallows to toast.


:party: :toast:

[Paradoxical]

7. I'm going on 6 days.

[Skittles]

8. I WILL KICK PARADOXICAL ASS IF YOU SMOKE AGAIN

YOU KNOW I WILL

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. Every time you hit a milestone, double it for your next goal.

You've almost done a week so now shoot for 2 weeks.

[Faygo Kid]

11. Six years for me.

Took a very long time to get to this point.

[Brickbat]

12. It's been about 13, I guess, and I still miss it. We smoke a pipe, but it's not the same.

Not that kind of pipe.

[gratuitous]

13. Been about 11 years

I was never a heavy smoker, but just this morning had some congestion the reminded me. Ugh. Glad to have developed other, less cancer-inducing vices.

[Tikki]

14. I'm up to 7 years smoke free and I'm so over smoking...

We broke up seven years ago and I'm not looking back...
I guess I'm just not as into smoking as it was into me.

18. Smoke, Smoke, Smoke, that cigarette...

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke, until you smoke yourself to death.
You tell St. Peter at the golden gate, that he's just gonna have to wait.
You just GOTTA have another cigarette.

Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks.

[lunatica]

19. 15 Years for me. I have been thankful every one of those days that I quit

[applegrove]

21. Think how much your lungs have healed in 9 years. Amazing!

[one_voice]

23. Congrats...

don't give in. It's been 7 months for me. I really haven't wanted a cig since I quit in Sept. except on Friday after I cut the grass, for some reason I REALLY wanted one. Only lasted a few minutes, but weird just the same.

Can't wait till I'm nine years not smoking, imagine how much healthier your lungs are!
