Nice. Bet you're glad you no longer smoke as you reach to top of those mountains :) By the way, is that concert still going on there?

NOPE!

A double header today with two of our friends achieving their 4 year quit anniversary! That fabulous!! Congratulations to you Sazerac on being 4 years quit. Such an inspiration to others just starting out or the lurkers who have yet to make the jump. Hope you do something special on this day :)

Congrats on yet another annual anniversary ANA :) 4 years quit shows real commitment to achieving and maintaining your original goal!

Congratulations KT for getting to this very significant milestone! 1st month is pretty tough and you have made it through now so celebrate this milestone then carry on to even better things ahead of you!

Oh Boy Jayhawk. 3 months - 1/4 year smoke free is amazing and you only have even better days ahead. Congrats; great work! !

^^^ LOL - Classic!

I know that I have done the best thing possible to improve my quality of life and hopefully, extend my life or at least not shorten it intentionally :)

Haha ... what do I know.? I'm a Canuck :)

The increased anxiety we feel in the early part of our quit has our emotions on edge and it doesn't take much to push us over. Unfortunately, your job is bound to put extra pressure on your emotions. As Doreen said, it will pass as you get more comfortable living your life as a non smoker. Until then, try doing some deep breathing when you feel your emotions getting the better of you. It can help settle your anxiety and give you a mental focus point until your emotions settle down a bit.
