In 2009 I came to this site because I was going to quit. Just signed up …. And left.
In July of 2013 I came here and set my quit date for the very next day…..I got a message back from Admin to delay my quit date until I had read everything and followed the steps. “Ha” I said to myself…..I don’t need to do that. But then decided that my way of quitting hadn’t worked for 40+ years so maybe I should try something different.
I learned. A lot!
I learned that I am an addict. I learned that I can’t do “a little” smoking….It was going to be stopping totally OR continue and probably die from smoking like my dad.
I have learned so much. I have met so many fantastic people.
When my 1st year anniversary was coming up I helped to form the “3rd Quarter 2013 Winners Circle”. There were 24 people on that list! Heard some of the older Elders say that was one of the biggest groups in a quarter they had seen. All 24 of us made our 1 year anniversary!
I just looked and there are still 16 of us that come on here (some more than others) and are still learning and supporting others.
I’m proud of that number!
And I’m proud of myself……because here it is….my 2 year anniversary!!!
I never thought it would happen.
And do you know why it happened? Because I came on here and followed a plan: Read/Blog/Listen to the Elders and the Wise Ones.
I want to thank each and every one of you here on the EX who have helped me reach today. I appreciate the “atta girl” and the “hang in sweetie” and who can forget the laughing and the “hanging out” down in Orlando. I missed the Nashville but you can “bet your booty” that I will be in Las Vegas.
Every single one of you can make the 1 year, 2 year, etc….etc…..
My next goal: THE QUAD SQUAD!!!
Let's share a treat!
Love to all!
Sharon
