Hello all,

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I would say my holiday was freakin awesome :). My kids were happy with their gifts, everyone came, everyone ate and everyone left...lol... I am exhausted.

Best of all, I did not smoke. I did not want to smoke. I did not even consider caving. My mom, my sis, and my sis-in-law all went outside to smoke several times. They were very discreet about it and I think even tried to make it as long as possible in between so that was good but honestly, it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I did think at one point, gosh wouldn't it be nice but after I truly thought about it for another minute....it wouldn't be. I would smell. I would be giving up on myself, I would be letting a nasty yucky addiction take control of me again. It would suck me back in and once again start eating away at my life, start controlling my every mood again. So, nope it wouldn't be nice. 

My husband didn't cave either. I'm proud of him. He's proud of me. It's all good :).

It was a very, merry Christmas for me and I hope for you and yours as well!

Yeah!  Really cool, great wonderful, fantastic.  Way to to go girl.  Have your hubby give you a foot massage tonight to celebrate!  Mine was smoke free, too, and I didn't even tell any family off.  Yeah for me, too.

my day was smoke free also... I'm pretty sure that's the first time in 22 years that I haven't smoked on Christmas...

Very, Very Good! It is apparent that you understand the value of your quit! This is the thinking of a person traveling the road to success! Keep your Focus! Never lose your Determination! You should be very proud!!                      Tommy

I'm so glad you had a wonderful day yesterday, Schneidl!  I'm sorry I'm a bit late with this comment to your blog, but I just read it and I want you to know how proud we all are of you for not smoking!  You have EXACTLY the right attitude it takes to be in that 6% of smokers who actually STAY quit.  Great job!!!

And I agree with No more cigs:  a reward is in order, definitely.  Trade foot massages with hubby.  Then come over here and give ME one...  lol 

Happy New Year, Schneidl!  I'm so glad you are here on EX with us!
