The 96% Club!

When we pass those first 365 days we call it the 6%Club. That's because only 6% of those who begin to quit smoking make it through that first critical Year! A rough but true statistic - and something to be proud of when you do make it! [Our results seem much better than that, BTW, from my EXperience. Maybe it's because we know what we're doing here!] 

Here's another impressive statistic that hasn't been emphasized here yet but maybe it should!

After 2 Years abstinence, the statistical chances of relapse fall from 94% to just 2-4%! Thus, the chances of continued success (statistically) is at least 96%!!!!!

That should be reassuring!

After 10 Years then only 1% relapse. So anybody passing 10 Years would be in the 99% Club! WOW! I want in!!!! I will get in about 5 more Years from now! 

Nice to have even more to look forward to!

But we must always remember that You and I can decide to protect our quit or throw it away any time for any "reason!" We are in control of our destiny!
