Just realized I'm only a few months away from the 25th anniversary of my quit-smoking date (July 2, 2000).

Quitting cigarettes was the hardest thing I'd done at the time, so for many years I celebrated each anniversary. 

But now I'm so far removed from it and so comfortable as a non-smoker that it doesn't even feel important.

huge congrats though, very much worth acknowledging this achievement in willpower and self-control.

Thank you. Not sure I'll even remember that it's my 25th non-smoker anniversary once the actual date arrives... haha.

But if I do, I'll at least take a moment to thank my younger self for finally sticking to it. (Like most smokers, I attempted to quit several times before I actually succeeded).
