It has got to be tough with your husband still smoking. You are one determined lady. Have a wonderful holiday.
October 11, 20187 yr Author I am determined! Right now he is outside smoking. I am inside having ice cream!
October 11, 20187 yr Have a great vacation Parsley, you're doing an awesome job! Enjoy that delicious ice cream.
October 11, 20187 yr High five @Parsley . Stay on your guard...that nasty nico monster creeps up ,when you least expect it....stay close ....
October 11, 20187 yr Oh wauw! Whishing you beautiful holiday moments. Smoking has no say in fun, relaxation, etc. Remember! You are going to do internal work, on both concious and unconcious levels. How awesome is that! Have fun over there Edited October 11, 20187 yr by MLMR
October 11, 20187 yr You are strong and determined. Nicotine hasn't a chance with you! Have a great time.
October 11, 20187 yr Author We are currently in the beautiful hills of southern Missouri and a beautiful campground . I woke up early and took the dog for a nice long walk , used to sit around and smoke cigarettes instead ! I'm loving this so much better

October 16, 20187 yr Congratulations on not smoking ! You have a fine quit working for you. and you pulled off your patch ? Let us know how you are feeling ! Stay vigilant and drink deep from the cup of NOPE.
October 16, 20187 yr Way to go Parsley. You are definitely a champion. Hope your husband decides to hop on the train with you. So glad you enjoyed your trip. I love the time camping with my husband but it is quite cold where we are at and I hate the cold. We are running the furnace and a portable heater and are still cold!
October 16, 20187 yr Well done! You’ve had a big FIRST as a non-smoker, that’s something to be proud of!
October 16, 20187 yr All these 1st time situations we face as non-smokers; seasonal changes, first family get together, first party or BBQ and vacations are experiences that help cement our permanent quits! That's why the 1 year commitment is SO important. After a full year, we experience most life situations that we used to relate to as smokers. Now, after that 1st year, you will have experienced them as a non-smoker. That's retraining our brain to function happily as a non-smoker. Well done Parsley! Another new experience crossed of your quit list
