Thanks to one and all! It’s been an uphill climb at times, but I’m super grateful to finally reach the lido deck. So thankful for the encouragement , companionship and wacky laughs along the way. One year down, many more to come! Time to get the party started…

Well done, @AceWhite. So glad you escaped the smoking penalty box!! Congrats on your two years.

Good job, SP. Quitting can, indeed, goof up your sleep patterns - and so can the patch. (Talk about bizarre dreams!) But it doesn’t last forever. Staying busy and distracted is a good plan. One day at a time and you’ll soon be FREE!

Great to meet you, @Slow progress! Congrats on giving those smokes the heave-ho. I, too, quit after more than 40 years of smoking. At first I thought I could never be happy without cigarettes. But it turns out that feeling of “I’m going to be miserable forever” is an illusion… it’s something our addiction does to put up a fuss about withdrawal. It’s not accurate. Smoking was NOT our true friend, because real friends don’t bind us in chains, mess with our heads, then slowly try to kill us. It takes a while to recalibrate, but it IS possible! And there are a lot of good people here to help. Keep at it, and let us know how you are feeling day by day.
