Hey Karren!

Congratulations on that big 2! What a wonderful tribute to your Dad! Yes, I smoked forever too ( 42 years of slavery to that monster)! We can do this!

You are a tremendous asset to the SSC!

All the best!

I can hear that trumpet from here Karren, tootly toot toot, for today we are singing the praises of YOU and your fabulous TWO! I'm totally with you on the long haul flying thing, it's such a joy to get off a plane and not freak out when you get to the customs queue!

As for the reward, has to be a good un, for sure. I'd make a day of it, start with a great breakfast in a restaurant that smells of coffee and wonderful pastries - savour that smell. Then get out in the sunshine (if we ever get any!!) and breathe deeply of that 'springtime air' or the 'after it rains' freshness. Walk slowly, enjoy the new calmness you have in your life. Wind up at a spa, and get a nice foot massage and pedicure to soothe your tootsies. Then finish in the shops with a new outfit and pair of sandals to show off the pretty polish. Bliss!

Or...

You could just put your feet up and relax on the sofa, get all your loved ones to pamper you and reward your hard earned success!! Be proud, you've earned it!

I hate to blow my own trumpet- buy today is my two year smoke free anniversary and I have to celebrate it somehow! I chose the date, May 10th, because it is/was my late father's birthday, and one of the few bug bears he had in life was the fact that I smoked. I thought it very fitting to choose his birthday as my quit day.

Here I am two years on! The quit was my first attempt (shame on me for not trying to quit before) as many of you 'older' members of the SSC know I was a heavy smoker, 30 cigarettes a day for almost 37 years.

My biggest regret?? not doing it sooner as I was very very lucky to have a hassle free quit, thank goodness for patches and the SSC.

Life as a non smoker is just amazing, I am no longer enslaved to a habit. I can stay in any hotel I choose in the world without worrying that I would need to go outside every 15 mins or so for a fix. I love the extra money I have, the fact that my home stays clean and fresh and also that I no longer stink of stale, smelly smoke. I also fly long haul a couple of times a year and no longer leave the plane with the temperment of the Incredible Hulk!!

Anyone who is browsing today, I know its an old adage but.....if I can do it, anyone can! There is not one person in my family or circle of friends that ever thought I would do it- but I did.

Special thanks of course to the wonderful SSC and all the members who I really do consider as friends. It's funny how I have never met any of you, however, I feel I 'know' you and that is just an incredible feeling. Here's to the next years, and maybe some of the girls can help me decide on my reward.....I mean two years...its gotta be a good un!!
