Happy 10 month anniversary to me!

 

I wrote this in my anniversary thread and wanted to remember it forever, so I'll post it here. :)

Thanks so much everyone!!!

Quite honestly, this has been a tough month or two for me. The change of seasons and some personal issues have led to some major cravings. I have driven around the gas stations on more than one occasion and sat in a parking lot across the street from a pack of smokes just a few days ago. I almost totally lost it! Fortunately, I was on my way somewhere, so was able to hold myself together. I reminded myself of the words from a kind friend that smoking would do nothing for me. I reminded myself of all the nasty things that smoking does, how awful it tastes, how it burns my throat, etc, etc.

I came here read. I celebrated anniversaries. I joked around. I PM'd with some very supportive friends who really helped me through a few tough days - you know who you are, Amigas!

I also didn't smoke. Thank dear God for giving me that strength and to all of you for being here. I know I am a big goof sometimes, but I really am thankful to you.

Thank you for starting my anniversary thread, Sarge. I love The Dance of Joy :) and I look forward to earning my stripes. I'm gonna go waddle my ass up that hill today and will dedicate my waddle to you and all of my quit friends! :)

Petra you are so tough it's hard to think of you ever having to fight craves anymore.

You have helped me stay strong throughout too, and I'm thankful.

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.
