ELDER'S LIST

AS OF March 13, 2021

Total 520

 

IMG_3934S.jpg

 

IMG_4113S.jpg

 

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.)

@Ralph1955  Doing well after coming back from a relapse. Am now 16 mos. smoke free in this last leg of my forever quit. How are things going with you folks?

Ralph1955

I’d be lying if I said that the last few years were fine. Lost dad in 2019 then last year lost mom. In February lost my sweet Pomeranian Lucy to cancer at 8 years old. Now dealing with useless doctors who can’t figure out my nearly 9 months of congestion.  It’s just life getting in the way. 
Now it’s just me and my sister left of the family. Yet life goes on and Steve and I are happy and enjoying retirement
. Amazing going through all this that I never picked up a cigarette

Yes, it has been a tough 4 years for you @Ralph1955 . Oh my goodness. I am sorry you have had to endure all of this. (The past year has brought me the loss of family and friends and increasing personal health issues as well, so I can identify.) BUT as I write this, it comes to me that you and I are blessed because we have remained smoke-free during these hardships of life. PLUS we still have folks who love us in our daily lives to include your Steve and our remaianing family members and friends.

We are doing this!! So here's to another year of smobriety for us ~

  • So sorry you too had to feel the pain of loss. It’s heartbreaking on so many levels. Thank God for memories. Yesterday for some reason was one of those emotional days for me. Miss my mom so much but thankful I was with her all day and night until she passed. I still have tears for her but know she is always with me. 
    Yes we are Still smoke free and that is a blessing for us. Hugs

Fantastic news @avian3 !!

It's so exciting seeing all these familiar names. Names & voices on paper that helped us all get to a much healthier life. Being free of the control that our habit had on us. We cried a lot of tears during our journeys & reached out to each other when things got tough. I am so thankful to all of you. Moving out of my native state of Florida was another very positive in my life, after both my parents died 2012, & 2015, I knew  it was time for a change in the 2nd half of my life. Been enjoying the coolness of the north Georgia mountains for 7 yrs now & lots of hiking & waterfalling,  & treasuring our 2 acres in the woods & appreciating all the nature around us everyday.  I have failed to come back to EX, I suppose because we are truly loving life as non-smokers & staying so happily busy with our new surroundings.  But I will try to come back here to check in on all my quit buddies, & to reach out to the newbies to see if I can re-pay the goodness & support I received in my darkest hours. Love you all💖

Wow, I don't know what got this to everybody's attention, but boy am I GLAD!  So great that you all chimed in with your BEAUTIFUL quits.

@Ralph1955  Plus 5 and counting

@Miglets  Ditto that 5, ain't it grand

@JimGr   And you too with 5 plus years

@DavesTime  And, gee I'm sorry I can't go back and correct the Elder's List.  You know I would if I could.  Five years for you and your twins, oh yeah baby!

@bookee6  and a lovely 6 years for you

And @DebiD  beautiful 10 years on the first.  Yowza!

You too @msgardengirl320  Ten glorious years.  Too cool.

And @avian3  Today is Year 13 for you.  Pretty amazing.

It's SO GREAT that you all jumped in with your quits.  And I rejoice with all of you.  Gives so much hope to those just beginning their journeys, or those half way to your place mark, or those who read this and wonder if they can even begin.  AND to those like me, with a 17 year quit, who is so grateful for you affirmation that YES, it can be done and continue to be done!  There is definitely strength in numbers. Thanks for being here ya'll.
