    I am almost at the one year mark. I dont feel that excited. I am hoping i can stay quit as ive heard 1 year can be a trigger. Ive gotten to the one year mark before and started again. So i want to recommit to my quit. 
    Life is kinda getting me down. I dont want a cigerette but i want something. Some times are hard. Its winter. Im over worked . i have to be thankful i am quit . i have that going for me. Me and my boyfriend broke up. Its triggers like this that make it hard. Thank u out there for all your support. Keep quit another day

    Hello Chartippybum,

    Can understand why you have mixed feelings about your one year milestone.  The other factors in your life will certainly contribute to your outlook. So don't be hard on yourself, times can be hard, feel for you.  

    Keep reminding yourself that you don't want the cigarette yet think on what else you can turn to.  The winter can be bleak so having activities and interests to focus on will help so much.  Highlight the fact that you have achieved great success and are thankful that you have quit.  And anticipate your 1 year to be a turning point for better things to come.  

    We are happy for you reaching your anniversary and are here for you to brainstorm strategies and anything else that is on your mind.  

    Have a great day knowing you are smoke-free and in a better place than last year.  

    Best Wishes,

    Marianne
