That's great Fee....I don't know if I could lose my friendship though due to

a friend still smoking.

I was put to the test last weekend, when my sister in law came over to hang

out and play cards. While we were in a restaurant she wanted me to go outside

with her so she could smoke, and I told her that I couldn't. So my ex husband

went with her instead, and he has never smoked a day in his life, or ever went

outside with me when I had to do the deed (bless his heart for being in the right

place with her) . She had to go outside when we got back to our house, but I

just stayed inside while she went out on the patio to smoke. Finally I went out

with her towards the end of the night, and guess what.....You got it right if you

guessed that I stayed smoke free, not liking at all having to watch her

do it. I hope that she will also join me in quitting, but until she gets herself

straight in her life, I don't see it happening yet.

So I guess it's good to have someone who smokes come around for me, as it

just strengthens my mind to be a quitter forever.

Good for you supporting your friend and I hope that you encourage them to be

a quitter too.

Happy to be Free,

No not at all, we have to do whatever it takes to protect our quit. You are in the beginning of your quit

like I am myself....My sister in law said she would quit with me when I told her I was quitting, but there

is no way she could ever do it in her state of mind at the present moment.

I am at 16 days....cold turkey on the nicotine, but, I do take the Wellbutrin,

which I believe has been a huge help.

Oh wow, we do have much in common, but I don't think we will re-marry.

Congrats! I am so happy for you!!

Right back at ya there my friend....I am proud of you for making such

a great choice for yourself.

I feel so good about quitting this time around. I have tried a couple times in

the past, and one of my quits last long than I ever thought it would, 9 months,

but then stress begged me to take it right back up.

I have lived stress free for 2 years now, and when they found a spot on one

of my lungs, I think is scared me in to my quit. I don't want to be that

statistic!
