The bells are ringing for me. Today is my 6 months of freedom from those nasty cigarettes.
How did I do it??? I was at a point in my life where my desire to smoke was less than my desire to quit. I went on Chantix and found this wonderful family here at DS.
Thank you all so much for the faith, friendship and support. I love you all.

I know I'm late here today... but it's part of the problem of being on the other side of the world! I have just passed my big six month milestone... and am feeling so relieved that I have made it here. Yay for me... and for my friend TMDeb!!! Big thanks to Champix and the wonderful DS... don't think I could have done it without either.

Another smoke-free day! Congratulations to everyone on milestones from hours to months, and everything between!

Thanks for all your support and help when I was going through a tough time recently. You are the best, brothers and sisters!
