That is really great! I had a feeling that you were going to make it, and you did! Good on ya! Keep it up!
For the first five years after I stopped, checking my meter was the opening curtain of my morning. I loved seeing it climb from day to day. It was the positive feedback that kept me on track. Around year 7-8, I started to forget to check it each day, but still noticed it several times a week. These days I never see it except when the calendar tells me that it's the 21st of the month and I remember how important that date is to me.

I'd never heard of that. I'd always used milk to sooth the flames. I'll have to give that a try.

On a scale of effectiveness of 1-10 (with 10 being best,) I'd put milk around 4-5, yogurt about 6-7, and honey about 28-29. It is INSTANT and TOTAL relief, and just a drop or two does the job, so it's not as if you are downing a glass of honey. For an entire meal, a teaspoon or two at most. Then you can experience all the fully rounded flavors of the dish, without the pain. Years ago we asked our cook to make several dishes leaving out all the peppers, and they simply had no taste at all. They needed 'some' spice. The only question was 'just how much for each of us.'
Fortunately, most cuisines other than Korean use honey to some extent, so those restaurants usually can give you a tiny dish of it if needed. I found very small 'honey bears' sold in many souvenir shops... little 2" tall plastic bottles, so I carry those in my pocket when traveling in Korea or the Caribbean.
