April 15, 201511 yr Nothing profound to say. It actually seems mundane. For anyone still struggling - it doesn't just get better, it gets boring!
April 15, 201511 yr OMGosh! Congratulations Bumbled! 3 is so great. Embrace the boredom huh? Love it. Planning anything big today?
April 15, 201511 yr :) Congratulations, and thank you! :) From where I stand, barely at three months, your smober time is both enviable and inspiring. I know I can get to where you are by putting one foot in front of the other, and I would welcome your kind of boredom. I look forward to it. Thank you for your support. I hope you have something special planned, as quit anniversaries are very special :wub: even if seemingly boring. :rolleyes: KUDOS !!!
April 15, 201511 yr We will get excited for you though, 3 years is fantastic, congratulations On a personal note it really helps me to see long term quitters here so thank you x
April 15, 201511 yr 3 years is brilliant, and you can change boring with a little bit of imagination, at least you are living life healthy and no longer a slave to the nicotine.............
April 15, 201511 yr Mr. B!!! Three years is fabulous, and thanks for being here to share it with us!!
April 16, 201511 yr Happy Three Years my Bumble Bee friend! I think at three years i may weight 300 lbs.
April 16, 201511 yr Nothing profound to say. It actually seems mundane. For anyone still struggling - it doesn't just get better, it gets boring! Maybe, not the stereotypical celebratory song. I wanted to play one of Sir Elton John's. I know you are younger than me but, here is a song, that touches my heart, that I think you will appreciate hearing again. His Marriage partner is from Saskatoon. He plays concerts regularly here, still. Small world, eh? Edit: To use the well-deserved and appropriate title of, "Sir Elton John". Enjoy!
April 17, 201511 yr Author Thanks everyone. It's good to know that seeing longer quits around is helpful to some people. I remember feeling that way myself, and it's why I'm here. Nancy, I don't know how you manage to find appropriate images for every situation, but that celebratory duck made me quackle. I know I can get to where you are by putting one foot in front of the other, and I would welcome your kind of boredom. I look forward to it. I thought about this later, and it's exactly right. You should look forward to it, and you WILL welcome it when it comes. I remember when I first quit, every morning when I stepped into the shower (and not out to the deck for a smoke) I would say to myself in wonder "I don't smoke anymore!". I couldn't stop thinking about it. And I never thought I would. I'm happy that it's become boring, there are so many better things in life to be excited about. This is exactly where I wanted to be.
April 17, 201511 yr Author Maybe, not the stereotypical celebratory song. I wanted to play one of Elton's. I know you are younger than me but, here is a song, that touches my heart, that I think you will appreciate hearing again. I adore Elton John, at least up until "the Lion King". Anyway, here's an understated version of a classic I just came across. I think it represents what I like best about him.
April 17, 201511 yr Maybe long time quits feel like it's done and dusted, and no one's paying attention. I think maybe that's not true. I think you are being watched. Haha. That sounds scary. As a newbie, I'm being watched because people assume it's just a matter of time until a relapse. THAT'S PRETTY BORING IN AN IRRITATING WAY. But how cool it would be if someone new in my life said, "Gosh, you smoked? Can't imagine it." So you get to wear the star forever, even if mostly invisible. Way to Go, fish!
