:) 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 !!!

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!

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 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.

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.

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!

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.
