I'm Back Still Smoke Free Day 42

Even though I could not get on the website, everything has been good.  Forgot to reset my clock, but I will live.  I hope everyone is doing okay.  Thanks for your help in gettting me back online.  I have really missed being here and reading the blogs and other important information to help stay smoke free. 

Finally a warm day.  I have been outdoors for the most part.. I have learned to do things outdoors without smoking.  LOTS of leaves and debris from the storms. Good cleanup. What a great accomplishment.

Yesterday was the first time I had been around a friend  that is a smoker.   I knew I could not avoid them for the rest of my life but I was not making any extra effort to be around them.    I have just made up my mind that I will never put another cigarette in my hand so I wasnt tempted to smoke.  I excused myself when they lite up.  However when I got home it seemed that there was some type of residual affect.   I kept smelling it, even though he did not smoke around me.  It made my night a little more tense in my quit, recognizing I still have a way to go.  So I am not making any extra effort to see my friend.  They have set a quit date of April 4. I wish them the best of luck.  Still staying smoke free.  Not always easy but worth the effort.

Good to see you guys and gals have a great week smoke free, I am
