Proud as punch :) :)

Ok so I have to tell someone, and it has to be my forum friends cos you will "get it"..... Last night was curry night with the girls, there was 10 of us, 4 were non smokers (inc me) good odds so far, I'm not on my own ;) , we meet for a beer sat outside everyone's chuffing away and I didn't crave or even remotely want one... I will admit the smell was quite appealing but in a nostalgic way rather than a cravey way, anyway we had our meal which was lovely, and then found a cocktail bar where they were 2 for 1 so..... ( and this is the bit I'm proud of) after 2 Long Island ice teas, 2 bellinis and 2 amaretto sours ( so yes I'm a bit pished) the girls go out (the other non smokers have gone home) and instead of running to the toilet pleading for help I went with them and barely noticed they were smoking.... Result! So all in all I had a great night with my smoking friends, got a bit merry and didn't want to smoke! Yaaaaay I have my social life back, it's only taken 55 days :D

Awesome!

That is one of the biggest hurdles cleared! I'm so pleased you got through it and being abit merry and not smoking shows that your resolve is strong.

I'm so pleased for you! :-)

Will you be out every night now then! :-)

Haha I couldn't cope with it every night although I am indulging in lunch today with a different group of friends and no doubt the wine will be flowing,but I'm not "scared" to go out now I a actually looking forward to it :) x

HURRAH THAT DONNA!! :D

That was really a big thing for you I know, and you came through it with all guns blazing. I'm so pleased for you- a real corner turning moment I think.

Do you have a hangover? I was out with a friend last night and drunk far too much so if you do, that makes two of us...:o (very glad I am 'working from home' today)

Excellent work Donna :)

It's your round!
