Today is the 5th anniversary of my last cigarette & we're having a hurricane to celebrate! Well, Hurricane Issac isn't coming that close to us but we're seeing lots of wind & rain from it already.
I just wanted to check in with all my old friends here who helped me succeed whether you all realize it or not. Just reading about what everyone else was doing & how each of you were dealing with your individual quits, made it easier for me & helped me to know what to expect. In short, I learned from your experiences & it paid off.
I thank you all.
To all you new quitters, keep it going! Don't EVER think you don't have the strength, YOU DO! Be stubborn & bull-headed about it. It gets easier every day you don't smoke. One day you'll just suddenly realize that you haven't even thought about a cigarette in a month. Then several months & then it's a year.

One observation I'll mention here that I hadn't ever thought of & nobody else has said about quitting smoking; It is absolutely astounding how much hair grows in the inside of a "normal" person's nose.

God bless,

Jim

Heartiest congrats, Jim. Your 5th anniversary of freedom should be celebrated in a big way.

Loved your observation and, no, don't believe I've ever thought of that one.
