Thanks everyone for their well wishes and time capsules?!

Just a few thoughts on the one year mark. As I look back at some of the postings I have made to my own introductions, I've noticed slight behavior modifications even between day 300 and one year (day 365), as I've put the nic bitch further behind in my rear view mirror. This introduction is an invaluable tool we all have as we move further from bondage and closer to ultimate goal of freedom from this addiction. (Some say three years, some say never)

Are we getting smarter or just more articulate as our brains re-wire after being tortured for years? In my case, more than half my life. Maybe it's a combination of the two which is not a bad thing.

For me the most unfortunate thing about nicotine addiction is what I missed out on as it relates to the poisoning of my brain. Did I miss out on that promotion because I was so dimwitted and slow to react or not articulate enough to impress those looking to promote/advance my career. Did I miss that opportunity as a coach to make an impression on a young kid, much like Pinched did recently?

At this point at a year +1. I have decided that my addiction to nicotine has done me anything but good, held me down, poisoned my thoughts/actions and held me down from becoming a better husband, father, Marine, employee... a better person and I HATE THAT FEELING. I dislike who I was but now being a year free of the nic grasp, I'm starting to like who I think I could have been had I not ever enjoyed being a bitch of nicotine addiction.

Carry on!

Brother You are spot fuckin' on!!!
I agree a gazillion %.

Learn, re-wire, live and love to our fullest!!

1 year.

You did it bro! You know this isn't the end but, rather, another milestone in your journey. It's a significant milestone though. A year of your life taken back and made whole again. Fighting through the ups and downs clean n clear. Proud of you man! Proud to quit with you... Proud to call you friend. Congratulations!

Congrats on 1 yr! Awesome quit! Keep at it today!

Grats on the first of many laps SFGE!

'clap'

Just a short hop to the 4th Floor now.

1 Year is outstanding Steve. Congrats

SFGE, you have been my saving grace for damn near my entire quit. I appreciate that time you spend here and I admire the 365 days that you have remained quit.

fist pump!

Very nice! Congrats and keep it up!

Fleas where to begin we chirp everyday I thought I would put a few thoughts here too for your time capsule. Well lets start with a big congrats enjoy your birthday!!! I am proud to have you as my friend. You were one of the first quitters to make contact with me. When I got here I was so sick and fogged out that I thought you were the head of the site and with a name like Sand_Fleas_Gotta_Eat and a scary AV who could blame me. I am glad to have had you in my corner for 351 days. QLF EDD

SFGE, congrats on a year my friend, you are a superior quitter and have helped me to where I am today 121. Thanks for all you do man

Happy Quit Birthday!
