Dumb stuff we did for a smoke

Today marks the 28th day smoke free.  I’m really not struggling to do it this time.  I travel with my job and this week I’m working with two guys that are pretty much chain smokers.  We ended up taking two vehicles to dinner so they could smoke.  This made me think about all of those times where I made decisions based on how I could smoke.  Now it seems pretty pathetic.  I think that alone is good motivation to quit.

Congrats on 28 days.  Everything you do to not smoke will count as another day WON.  Stay close. Never quit on your quit.

I think all of the times I quit in the past has made me a better quitter.  if that makes sense.  I know what to expect and I know how to get past the moment.  Not much to it.

WOO-HOO on 28 days = 4 weeks with no nicotine.  We've all done dumb things just to smoke.  Stood in the snow, the rain, stand outside the car in a parking lot so we don't smoke IN the car; not done on outings with my kids' schools because I couldn't smoke, chain smoked before going to the movies, etc.  No we make choices like you did to take 2 cars.  So if it costs a little extra in gas but at least you're not getting smoked out and smell like it. Ya done good and I'm proud of ya.  Keep the faith and the quit!

Congratulations on 28 days!! Doesn't it feel great not to have to deal with that anymore?

I don't know why but this suddenly brought up a memory. The first person to respond to me by saying "Yes, I do mind." when I was a passenger in their vehicle and as I lowered the window asked them "You don't mind if I smoke, do you?" No other friend had ever said that to me before. I was kind of shocked. Glad she said that.
