Good Evening,
Hope everyone is doing well..Day 74 here. Feeling ok but sore. I’ve been trying to work out daily but recovery time is longer now but I’m gona keep moving forward . A friend of mine came by today . She smoked 2 cigarettes in front of me and I just stood there drinking my water.. i feel that some times are worse then others to be around it , but I was ok. N.O.P.E.
Does your friend know that you have quit? That couldn't of been easy for you to deal with. I know when i quit, there were still smokers in the house and sometimes, i just had to get up and leave and go for a walk. I was making a decision to not smoke and that included not inhaling someones elses smoke which still isn't good for you. I would ask her kindly to refrain from smoking in front of you that you really do want freedom. Congratulations on 74 days! thats great!!! One day at a time.
You go girl.
There is nothing wrong with saying, "I'm going to get upwind while you smoke. I've quit and want to protect that at all costs."
And always keep in mind that she doesn't WANT to smoke; she HAS to smoke........and isn't it cool you don't!!!???
Good for you!!! You worked your quit and kept the smobriety going.
Congratulations on your beautiful 74 days of freedom. I made it clear to my friends that I had to protect my quit at all costs and even after over 5 years, I still remove myself from the area if someone is smoking. Now, it is more about protecting my LUNGS than protecting my quit which is solid.
You are doing GREAT!

Big congrats on your 74 days. Was it inside or out that you're friend was smoking? I hope it was outside. If not, you have every right to ask them to not smoke in you home.
Congrats on your great quit!
You did good...that is toughest thing for me being too close to those smoking...however, it happens at the pool and I actually feel like “ I don’t do that anymore “...You are doing great Cindy...Congratulation one 74 DOF....
