Woot woot! One year is a huge milestone but two years is a lifestyle commitment. I also quit cold turkey but that's because it was the right choice for me. There is no wrong way to quit. Keep coming back, keep encouraging our newbies and keep embracing your smoke free lifestyle....ain't it great?

Congrats on two years smoke free!! Maybe get yourself a reward for your new milestone?! You deserve one! Sorry about your past heart attack, But glad you quit after that! Not everyone does quit, even after health scares & life changing events like yours.

Blessings to you,
