Hi everyone! In 16 days on 01/29/26 I will be 5 years smoke free! I was able to quit cold turkey and haven’t picked up a cigarette or had a craving since. For anyone who is struggling through the first few months of quitting, you GOT this! Just keep reminding yourself of the reasons you’re quitting. Whether it be health, finances, family, whatever. Those reasons matter and you can make it!
A little 5 year update on me. I’ve been smoke free (obviously), my daughter has not only graduated high school but will be graduating college early this fall with 2 bachelors degrees (SUPER PROUD), I’ve just celebrated a year dating my bf in December, I hit the gym about 5 days a week and after a long and frustrating road I’ve lost 75 lbs so far. I’m only about halfway through that journey but still…all good things going on!
