July 11, 201412 yr I just love watching all the summer quitters reach that milestone we all couldn't wait to get to...one year quit. In the beginning, it seems such an unattainable goal, doesn't it? Amazing how, once you get started and pass the first small milestones it becomes so easy and time just flies by. How did we all hold it together? I think the fact that we were all in the same boat at pretty much the same time helped tremendously. Whether we had private conversations with each other or just congratulated one another for each month celebrated smoke free - we were there for each other and that is what this place is all about. So, all you 2014 Summer Quitters or soon to be new quitters, take heed - the support makes all the difference in this quitting business, really it does. I can promise you that. I've had some wine and am feeling a bit sappy, so just excuse my ramblings if you want or laugh, it's okay :) I'm still proud of us summer quitters :)
July 11, 201412 yr We'll have to wait for Gemzee to see what our percentage of success looks like, but we did have Nancy leading us so that was a big advantage. None of us wanted to let her down, so we took smoking off the table.

July 29, 201412 yr Obviously more of a winter quitter myself, but chasing after you guys has been great. Well done to you all! Apart from the tiny insignificant gift of life - anyone got themselves a big reward for one year?

Apart from the tiny insignificant gift of life - anyone got themselves a big reward for one year? I'm going out with my fiancé to a gorgeous restaurant for fine food and champagne! Might treat myself to some new shoes as well! 4 weeks to go.
