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.

I just passed my 8th year! kudos on 25 and the testimony to how far removed you are from it. 🫶🏻
