The early milestones (day, week, month) are so much more significant than the years in my opinion. That's when the toughest battles take place and the victories are sweeter. You should feel proud Edie. And we're all proud of you too.

Welcome Edie! Remember that in the early going, every hour is a victory. You should be extremely proud that you've made this commitment. A whole new life awaits you!

Keep up the good work Lisa! You'll be smashing that goal before you know it. Ran this mountain trail on Monday. 7.7 ml. Elevation gain 2263 ft. Great day!

Sure those quit smoking videos may save lives and stuff, but right now we need that Joel dude's stick power!

Quitting smoking is perhaps the greatest possible gift one can give oneself....you are certainly proof of that DD. Congratulations on your special day and thanks for inspiring and teaching others.

Happy 4th anniversary DD! You’re a true inspiration!

Ring out the old, ring in the new.....

Hope your PTSD treatment goes well Jon. I too woke up in absolute panic attacks due to breathing issues on a near nightly basis. Quitting smoking completely turned that around. I'm healthier than ever and my lung capacity feels limitless. You can do this Jon. A new you awaits.

Belated (but heartfelt) congratulations on your wonderful milestone!!!

The tug boats are pulling up for final docking! Congrats Reci!

There are many people out there right now who are mulling over whether 2018 is the year they should finally quit. The question is: Am I going to sabotage my own health by grasping at every excuse under the sun not to quit? Or, am I going to bite the bullet, do some research, and finally make the choice that I know is right? Those of us who have ultimately succeeded in beating back this addiction are not special snowflakes. We’re just like everyone else. For most of us, quitting smoking was not just a whim that we easily attained in a day or two. We had to commit ourselves 100%. But once the decision is made, the recovery process grows a little stronger every day. There finally comes a point where you’ll feel amazing….like a whole new person. I encourage you with all of my heart to look deep inside and do what you’ve been telling yourself to do for many years. You have the ability. Jump on the train!

Steely Only when you eliminate the "buts" will you eliminate the "butts". Glad you're back on board.

Hi Abby Sorry about your health issues. I'm sure that accounts for a lot of your anxiety and opens the door to thoughts of smoking. For years, sometimes decades, we associated smoking as something that gave us comfort and calmness. Those thoughts become so entrenched in our brains that even years after quitting they can resurface if we let down our guard. Adverse situations can make us more vulnerable and susceptible to poor choices. But I'm sure you know that smoking won't bring you any positiveness. It will only make you feel worse. You're not alone in having deceitful thoughts creep in your head. All we can do is summon our rational, truthful brain to the forefront and acknowledge that smoking is a destructive killer and nothing good will come of it. Keep the quit!
