Congratulations @Sazerac for being nicotine free for 5 years.

 

Welcome to the Tardis for you 5 year anniversary, I've bought in some catering and alcohol and there is a lively band in the corner. No tin cans on the water for you. Five years is a wonderful example and thank you so much for still sticking around to show us newbies coming behind the way. Your posts and the old ones you bump when someone needs it are so very helpful. So I think you can consider the Karma count on your selfish tobacco usage expunged by all the time and effort you put into freeing others from the addiction. So make sure you spoil yourself extra specially this anniversary, it is half a decade after all.

 

So tell us... 5 years that's gotta be one hell of a good feeling...

@Sazerac What an amazing journey, and like everyone before me has so rightly said, thank you for sticking around to show us how it's done.

Your commitment to staying quit and helping others quit is uncomparable. 

 

Congratulations on 5 years, thank you for being you and thank you for the magical wordplay through which you guide us on this forum.

@Sazerac I'm glad that even for these moments we are in the same place at the same time. 

Thank you for everything.

(A little lovey-dovey, I'm not trying to be weird. She is my namesake and this song lives in my heart. It's one of the few ways I can share my heart with you)

Five years!

 

Sally has written many beautiful, splendiferous and wise words for the QuitTrain but this is my favorite thing:

 

One of the best things I have learned by quitting smoking 

is how to change and this has bled into all parts of my life.

How to change and groove on the good foot.  Change with Grace.

Changing  to make  myself a better person, a happier person, a more grateful person,

a Clearer person, a more honest person.

A more compassionate person for sure.

 

Five music for Sally

Hello my beautiful smoke free creatures !

Wow. 

The Tardis is here to take us all to our favorite places in this beautiful world.

 

There will be music and dancing and everything imaginable to taste and sip.

Let me catch my breath.

You know there's going to be some rockin' done.

 

Thank you all so much for your posts of support and love and music.

I am blown away and need the hankie I am saving for daughter's wedding.

 

I have had five years of LIVING smoke free.

Five years of relatively peaceful travel experiences.

Five years of not freaking out that I didn't have fire and cigarettes.

Five years of uninterrupted dinners, conversations with friends, concerts, theater.

Five years of appreciating my senses and not stinking to high heaven.

Five years of health for my lungs, my skin, my essential organs, my mind.

Five years of excellent blood supply to lady parts.

Five years of my brain dispensing appropriate rewards.

Five years of not thinking about feeding my addiction 20-50 times a day.

Five years of quality self-awareness.

 

All of this makes me very happy.  I am really proud of myself.

I am far more confident, no longer relying on bravado and it is an honest, well earned confidence.

I know myself so much better now.  I'm not apt to fall for even my own bullshit.

I know I can change.

 

The thought of re-establishing my addiction is abhorrent to me.

I will never be a slave again. I maintain my commitment to NOPE.

 

Sometime a thought comes to mind,

'oh, I used to smoke during moments like this'.

These thoughts are not a crave, trigger or a temptation.

 

They are a vague memory, 

like I used to wear micro mini skirts and love beads.

These are not for me anymore and the things that I used to do...

well,  I ain't gonna do that no more.

 


This journey has been the most rewarding thing I have done for myself in my life

and 

coming here watching new quitters find their power is one of my favorite rewards.

Y'all are awesome. 

 

I respect each and every one of your heroic journeys.

All of us have a special bond here and I am appreciative of the soulful camaraderie, the humor and the tears.

When one of us builds a visible and successful quit, it is thrilling to see self confidence and power emerge.

 

I am grateful for newbies and elders alike for showing everyone how to put nicotine addiction aside and  live Free.

Thank you, one and all.  You are my troops and help me protect my quit.  I am ever grateful.

S

Stop the press!  Breaking news: Sazerac has traveled in time to a place where freedom and regained health reign supreme.  5 years is quite a distance to travel from the claws of that evil addiction.  Congratulations and thanks for all the good you do here.

Hi Sally, sending you congratulations on this beautiful event you created for yourself five years ago. Must have been some journey (it was a joy to read through your blog!).

 

Thanks so much for everything that you do on the quittrain. Always so spot-on and with tender care. Pretty remarkable. 

 

Ive shared some doubts with you in these two months ... and somehow you were able to help me find my Chi back, through rollercoaster quitting, by trusting the proces. Thanks. 

 

Take good care and spoil yourself in ways the Gods would be jealous of!!

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
