Thank you all so much for your suport last night. I had a pretty rough go of it there and getting it out on "paper" really helped as well as reading other posts. At the end of the evening I was able to protect my quit. My husband and I went out to dinner with one of our friends. His wife was supposed to come but she ended up having to work late. We went to dinner and had a nice time. Afterward we came back to our house but my friend decided to go on home to wait for his wife and let their dog out. I was actually relieved. I am not strong enough yet to be around smokers for long periods of time.
My New Year's Eve was pretty uneventful and I think it was the first one since I was a kid where I was asleep before midnight. I don't really care though. I had to protect my quit. Waking up this morning on day 17 instead of day 1 was worth it!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
