Last night I went out with firends I had a drink and they lit up after dinner and drinks and I didn't, I actually still enjoy the smell of second hand smoke. But I'm super duper proud of myself I was a little worried before going out last night but I did smashing now I know I must be on the right path this time.

Way to go..Liamsmom...you go girl! You're strength is coming out in all directions. You must have really had a darn right strong desire to quit!
Great news....

Wow - congrats!! I hope I'm at that point some day. The strangest part of this whole thing is feeling like your giving up a fun side of yourself....

I wrote somewhere else that I felt like I was mourning the loss of a great buddy always there to comfort me through good and bad. That'll pass no worries. I'm only 3 months into it so it'll happen for you just as quick. This friend of mine has only recently started to smoke again and asked if the smoke would bother me it's always been my experience that I happen to enjoy second hand smoke weird I know I don't seek it out or anything like that just enjoy it when it happens, and it brings back memories of that loved lost friend.

Exactly. I feel like I don't know who I am without them...I know that must sound silly, but I've always been the laid back fun person with a drink and a smoke. Now - I'm having to figure out how to handle these situations. Anyway, I know I'm doing the right thing - the emotional side is just more than I would have imagined.
