How Does it Feel to Be Smoke Free?
Sunday November 27, 2005
The Smoking Cessation Forum here at About.com provides some of the best quit smoking support available anywhere on the Internet.
I've devoted an entire section of the site to the personal quit stories and accounts from forum members who have passed significant smoke free milestones.
Pour yourself a cup of tea; put your feet up, and take some time to read their stories. You'll come away refreshed and inspired!
Six Month Smoke Free Milestones
Forum members share how it feels to reach a whole half year smoke free! Quitting tobacco takes effort, but the benefits are more numerous than you might imagine.
New: Gary's Six Month Milestone
"I'm not going to begin to tell you that I'm beyond thinking about smoking, but what I can tell you is that for every time I begin to think about it, I come up with SO many reasons why I don't want to smoke anymore."
One Year Milestones
One year is a significant milestone for people who have quit smoking. Their lives have changed in so many positive ways, and the benefits continue to unfold.

"On October 13, 2004 I took a step that has changed my life. I somehow summoned the strength and courage to throw out the cigarettes that had accompanied me everywhere I went for twenty years."
Long Term Smoking Cessation
When we quit smoking, it's only natural to wonder how it feels years away from the habit that held us so tightly for so long. Read the accounts of those with 18 months or more smoke free. Life works better without cigarettes, and freedom from nicotine addiction is a gift beyond compare!
