It is all of you who desreve a big thank you. I could not have done this on my own. Believe me I've tried and tried and tried several times. This is the first time ever that I actually made it to 6 months (on the 22nd) and the most amazing part is that I have no desire to smoke whatsoever. I've made so many changes in my lifestyle and I know couldn't do a lot of those things (like my 10 k run coming up this Saturday morning - not bad for a not so young chick), if I picked up another cigarette and that would just not be worth it. These new physical activities and the freedom from not being compelled to satisfy an addiction is such a reward in itself. It's such a confidence booster!

We all need to be extremely proud of our achievement. I think we'd all agree that this is probably one of the hardest if not the hardest thing we had to do in our entire lives. After all, smoking is one of the most powerful addictions out there. My smoking cessation counsellor says it's comparable to heroin in that respect.

The holidays bring their own challenges as far as emotional triggers go, so everyone keep the goal in my mind and remember a cigarette will not fix whatever is upsetting you. As a matter of fact, you would just be more upset if you gave in to the crave, for resetting yourself and having to start over again. Remember how lousy the first week or two was and how we don't ever want to go back there again.

Thank you again for all your support!
