Day 98 - Went out for a fag

[nsd_user663_40832]

Went outside at work today to have a chat about an exceptionally rubbish job at work with our commercial chap.

He had a smoke and I just chatted - how weird is that, didnt really bother me - thats a good sign.

Thats really great. Pleased to hear it.

My daughter and husband smoke and I go over to see them. Early on I told them not to bother about smoking in front of me. They do try to make it not over obvious but you know it dont matter to me. Think like you I have got my mindset right.

Can't avoid it for ever and its great to look and think ahhh thats not me smoking

much the same boat - my partner still smoked and I said just have one in front of me

although he is now just over a week without a smoke so in the end you might actually encourage your family/work mates to stop as well - just don't nag them to do it!!!!

Great you can face them without getting pulled in.

My girlfriend continued smoking for the first 6 months of my quit, and I insisted that she continue to smoke inside in front of me as we had always done (with the window open, of course).

I wanted to change nothing except for the fact that I wasn't smoking. My gf has also stopped altogether since six months, cold turkey like me. Now we can save on the heating bill, next winter at least

I am another one who doesn't mind others smoking around me. My boyfriend smokes and until I ended up in the hospital last week he smoked in the house all the time. Now, because I have been so very sick he has been good enough to not smoke in front of me. He steps out on the porch or smokes in the garage. He is slowly weaning himself off cigarettes, even if he doesn't know it!!

If he decides to quit I will be there for him. If he continues to smoke I shall also be there for him....ppat

Top stuff Mr G!

I stood outside with all my mates smoking at a funeral I went to early in my quit.

I was worried about it, but instead felt a real smugness that they needed to smoke and I didn't.

Somehow, that made me feel really good and really strong to the point that it didn't bother me at all.

Keep it up, it will get easier - BELIEVE! :cool:
