Hi!  Day 23 for me without any form of nicotene!  My internet went down last night, and I was really missing going online to read all the blogs and get my support fix!  Had a very busy and hard day at work yesterday, and the thought of smoking crept into my mind several times.  I so much want that to stop!!  When I quit before (for 15 yrs)....the thought of smoking repulsed me!  Of course, I had to quit as I was very sick and in the hospital.  I don't wish to be sick like that again, but I sure wish I felt the same way I did then about smoking!!  

I'm a bit nervous, as my older sister is coming for an overnight visit tomorrow.  (She lives on the other coast of Fla.)  She also is a very heavy and unconsiderate smoker, with no desire to ever quit.  I really am not ready to be around her, but she would never understand if I told her that.  This will be one of many tests for me. I will keep you posted on how it went.

Congrats on 23 days. Today marks 21 days for me.  And, yes, stay strong when your sistger comes....Just as the mighty oak bends, twists and sways to the power of a midnight storm, you too can stand strong and true...I believe you can. happy healing...

How terrific for you! 23 smoke free days!!! Hopefully the weather will be good enough for you to ask your sister to smoke outside. Wishing you a good visit with her!

Congrats on 23 days! Determine that you will deal with your sister's visit - you can do it! (My sister is also a smoker....she smokes outside.) Keep up your great quit!

Hey Sandy! Good to see you! Watch your sister smoke for a while and ask your self if you want to be a slave or a free person? Do you want to be inconsiderate? I think not! As you watch, take pride in the fact that "We Don't Do That Anymore!"

Thanks everyone!  She should be here sometime today.  I never smoked in my house, or let anyone else smoke in the house.  She knows she has to go outside, already.  I reread Alan Carr's book last night.  It helped.  I'm a non-smoker, (ex-smoker)!!!!
