I cannot believe I have made it this far! Into my third week. Still feeling very positive and I have even started being more public about my quitting, telling more friends and family. I had held back incase I fell flat on my face but now I feel confident enough to share my progress.
I am off on my hols tomorrow with the family to rainy Wales. Slightly concerned about the alcohol factor as I haven't had a drink since the quit. Drinking was quite a major trigger for me so I am worried. It definately helps that the other half has quit too.
Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying their summer too.
Charlie

Congratulations Charlie!
Go and enjoy your holiday secure in the knowledge that you can do this!!
I quoted the passage above because I did/am doing the exact same thing...
I am 5 weeks today, I have only for the first time today said the words, "I do not smoke" until now I have just said I have not had a smoke for a few weeks.
I went out socially last weekend for the first time, I was a bit worried about having a drink and wanting to smoke, but you know what? it did not even bother me, I had no urge to smoke at all so don't worry.
I must add that my husband smokes and in the end I had to go outside with him each time - not to smoke - but I was missing all the gossip.
