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.)

Papa! Hello----I remember you....you once wrote a blog about if you think quitting is hard, imagine telling your family you have lung cancer. I read it when I was a newbie and it made a huge impact on me. I am now 11 years quit.......thanks to people like you who were on this site.
So good to hear from you again!
Well, well, look what I found after all these smoke free years.... some of the most important people in my life back then and still important 10 years later!
Happy to report that the Dakota Posse is still riding proud without cigarettes and loving every dang minute! These names bring back so many memories and I'll never forget them! Thank you Guilia 😘
Cindy, Determined in Dakotas aka, Dakota Posse
CINDY!!!!! Hello-----so, so, so, so GREAT to see you girlfriend!!!!
We've never "met" Cindy as I'm a relatively new member of the EX family. But I just wanted to congratulate you on your fantastic quit!

Well well well, I guess you got it all figured out. Take care. Stay free.
Good morning - Such a list this is. Wow. What a lovely way to start my morning before I roust the girls (two cocker spaniels) out of bed and head to shop. If the sun were not already shining, it would be now. The list sent me back to read some of my early posts. Seems I got a bit testy about day 6. My quit is so easy now I needed to read my early posts to remember that it was not easy, but I. made it through because of the support from this great group of people.
I look at all those folks who started their quit in hopes of staying quit and have made it for the long haul. It brings a tear to my eye because of the ‘if not for!’ If not for becomeanex.org, I wouldn’t have started the quit. If not for being able to prattle on and on 24/7, I wouldn’t have been able to stand a minute, never mind and hour, a day and a week and a year and...
I am sitting here at the same table and view that was here when I started my quit; it was a trigger. A huge trigger. I would pour a cup of coffee and walk around the house and look out the window instead of sitting down. I would wait awhile before I would allow myself to sit down. So many triggers because I used to smoke a lot.
My word. It feels like forever ago. Never want to have to quit again. You cannot believe the reaction my insides just had thinking about that. Whoa!
All you newbies. Live on this site if you have to for encouragement to quit and stay quit. I know the people, the newbies and the elders saved my life and I am so thankful for it. I love my life and didn’t want to give one more minute of it away to smoking and dying because of it. Live on smoke free. Gotta run. Getting a little emotional here.
So GOOD to hear from you @hattie and thank you for encouraging ME - in His love - I love and miss you sweet friend💖

It was the most precious gift I could ever have given myself. For all the newbies here, hang in there!!! You got this!!!! Keep coming here and posting and blogging. It all helps!!! Something I learned here was NOPE- Not One Puff Ever! It has helped me a lot!!!! So with all this being said, I’m off again. I send you all huge hugs and lots of love and a ton of respect!!!

Now repeat after me......
Thanks for the e mail , Congratulations on 12 years ! Woohoo !
I've been away , mostly because I never could figure how to navigate my way around this site when it changed , but I still often think of so many of the friends of this wonderful community, I've said it many many times I owe much of my success to the encouraging words and advice of this community, and I still love being a non smoker.
Thank you , you gave me my life back. Love and miss you guys your friend sparky.
@SootieHello and I remember you too, congratulations on that change! It's very nice to see you as well. Nice quit!
We kept each other quit and that was the point. All you had to do was come HERE before you ever lit another one and tell on yourself, BEFORE you light it. So a thank you right back atcha.
Because we care. 😊
