I Just Finished The Last Chapter Of My BOOK!!!!!!!
I'm really excited! I just finished the last chapter of my book and it feels good to finish it. 
I still have to go back and edit the book and revise it and whatnot, but it's a major acheivement for me! Allow me to express myself:
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAY

Fantastic! Congratulations!
How long did it take you to write the book's first draft?

Well done, you've gotten farther than most prospective writers ever get in entire their lives. Congrats.

I think I know what you mean. I think I was finished once, then again 10 times with the same peace of work. When can we read a bit of it?

It must be a great feeling. I would sit back and enjoy it for a bit before you start editing 
Congrats! |

I know that feeling. Express your joy all you want, you've earned it for making it to the end.
Congratulations

I just wish I had the focus to finish a whole novel... I start, get so far, then have what I believe to be a better, or more interesting idea. So I start that. Or I get disheartened and write a short story, just for the validation of someone accepting it...

It took me 2 years to finish it, in the sense of just jottin down the rough draft. I got bored of it a while ago so i started a different story, but i came back to it.

Congrats. My suggestion is to take at least a few days before you sit down to read it/revise it. It's going to be hard, but you need to keep it at arms's length for awhile.

Well done, take it from a person that has only ever finished one story he started (and that was a championship manager based story) it's an achievement to be proud of.
