Avoiding stressful situations
Say to "THE WORLD" I do not smoke, I do not that (thank you), I'm going for a walk, do you want to come with me. I'm healthier eating. drinking, living etc OR just NO,
I kept my for and against list close to hand so I could refer to it when cravings hit. I never avoided triggers as at some point I was going to have them (alcohol, parties, certain foods). I quit 3 weeks before my 40th birthday and after many a cheeky vodka on my big day I bleerily looked at my list to keep me going not for everyone but worked a treat for me
Primarily, my faith gets me through the trying times-- but moreover, enables me to appreciate others, be grateful for my circumstances, and CHOOSE to ENJOY the Holidays!
I don't really have any tips last Christmas was my first SmokeFree, it was also the first without my sister. I never really got into the Christmas thing and actually went back to work on Christmas Eve. In hindsight I may be should have voted avoided Christmas completely 😕

Last year was my first as a non smoker, I was 6 months smoke free on Boxing day. What helped me was to keep reinforcing how proud i was of myself for quitting and staying quit. I was camping up the river for 2 weeks where 80% of the people were smokers It was a bit of a challenge..but i was determined that i was staying on my quit journey...Was the designated driver many times I just did what ever i could to avoid temptation
I was with two smokers on xmas day..... I just made sure i ate soooo much that I was too stuffed to smoke.... Lol now I know why I put on soooo much weight😊😊
I voted other because I am hard headed and when I want to accomplish something I just do it. There is no one that is going to get me to smoke again because my health is more important especially for my kids. It is better for them as well.
