Thank you sweetie. Yes my life is in a good place right now. At this stage, I tend to forget I quit smoking and I almost forgot I was addicted to the SSC~lol I'll try to check 'N' more often so folks won't have to track me down by blood hound [i]or spam email.[/i] :8o: :p
Look at you at 200 days. I'm so proud! I remember when you quit, it seems like yesterday in some ways. Cheers to the future Christine! :)

Hi Cobenfan~ good post girl :)

Great post Cobenfan!
I really like the send it upstairs for review.
Just about anything could make me blow my quit. When I first quit I was afraid I couldn't do it and would blow it. Now that I know I CAN be quit, there are times I'm afraid that I WON'T stay quit. I am a very emotional person and with the challenges that come my way it is all I can do to make it on some days. I often long for the escape smoking gave me however, I have too much knowledge and know now that it is just that - an escape. Dealing with life without a crutch isn't always easy but neither was smoking.
I keep telling myself (yes, even today) that as long as I don't light that next cigarette, I've got it made. I always protect my quit and hope that I continue to do so with as much success as I have had thus far.
Thanks for a great post.
