Read a member curated list of EX Community content over 10+ years
AS OF March 13, 2021
Total 520
This is a compilation of members who are part of the 6% club - those with a ONE YEAR QUIT or more who have not taken one puff of a cigarette or e-cig, or chawed on a chew (or is that chewed on a chaw?) since their quit date. A very elite group indeed! Those who are active Elders, (i.e. those offering support on a regular basis) will have a smiley face beside their names. If you are active and don't have a smiley, let me know.
Newbies - this is for you. Every one of these people has been where you are. And every one of them became a successful quitter. YOU CAN TOO! Check out their blogs. Read. Learn. Do. Nothing makes us happier than adding a new Elder to the list!
Please note: If you relapse (even one puff) you will be removed from the list until you have achieved another 365 days smoke-free. NOPE means NOPE.
I will attempt to update it as often as I can. Any errors or if you've been omitted by accident, please let me know. What an amazing group!
(NOTE: You can switch from alphabetical order to chronological order simply by clicking on the Quit Date heading. It acts as a toggle. One click for alphabetical one click to go back to chronological or visa versa.)

Congratulations Prime. There...that wasn't so hard was it. Now do it 83 more times.
You're right! 83 more times though?
Thanks for adding me So grateful to be in such great company. Happy Holidays to all
Thank you so much for adding me to the 6% / Elders List Giulia... I would sure hate to see my name have to be removed, so that's one more incentive to stay quit!
I recently removed someone and it's NOT a happy experience (for me, anyway. I didn't tell them I'd removed them. Why make them feel worse than they already do.) So I hope you never go there.)
I ALSO hope I never need to be removed. I am considering it as one more negative outcome should I falter; one that will help keep me from getting derailed.
Sometimes pride is a good thing...My EX family is such an integral part of my quit that I would just drop out if I caved in (like I did for a few years on the old EX site) but I came back and everyone here was new to me but they aren't anymore after three+years and I was tempted this week (Suzy, always watch out around anniversaries..that Nicodemon likes to rear his ugly head then) not in action but in thought (still rather shocking). But I knew what triggered it (my best friend's smoking--ugh!) and I'm just going to have to "socially distance" myself from her when she smokes and I told her that after our visit and she understood...I'm going on and on because I haven't been on here in ages and I don't want to do the "here's what's been going on with me" gig so I'm writing really long comments...anyway...when I was at THE convenience store and the clerk kept saying "anything else?" (I was a regular every two days for a long time) my nicotine receptors were crying "feed me! You've been breathing cig smoke for two days and now we want some!"....I knew that that was EXACTLY what it was...not me wanting to smoke, but an addictive reaction to being physically exposed to nicotine smoke...lesson learned...don't give in EVER...and watch out for anniversaries! xoxoxox
Giulia
Glad you stayed strong Bonnie ~ Good Job!!
Thank you for including me on this list. I don’t post often but I do read posts. I never thought that I would be getting near the 5 year mark. Yay me! Thanks to all of you and Alan Carr’s book!
