We just had a short family trip this past weekend in a small town called Wasaga Beach north of Toronto, with a very close friend's family.  It's really nothing great, just a local getaway location for people in Toronto who can't get to a real beach.

But anyway, we had a great time there, both on the beach and exploring the town, a really nice break away from the city to forget this pandemic situation.   The only minor setback was to see a lot of ignorant people who still don't seem to be aware of the social distancing rule.

Anyway, we got back last night and this morning as I was getting a cup of coffee it dawned on me that smoking never crossed my mind the whole time, there was not a trigger throughout the whole trip. 

Maybe because I was surrounded by loved ones all the times, maybe because no one I was with was a smoker, maybe I was occupied the whole weekend...  whatever it is, it was just a marvelous feeling to realize that I was essentially a non smoker for the whole weekend.  A great weekend indeed!

That's great, John, that only one month in you're feeling that way!  Take it, it's a gift!!  I'm still experiencing triggers here and there but it's not too hard to work around them.

Sounds like an awesome weekend John, I'm happy for you 😊 Hopefully it's the first of many wonderful crave free weekends 😊

I am so glad that you had a great weekend. I am so super happy that you were able to go do this weekend without any urges or craves. Whatever the reason is don't examine it to hard just enjoy the freedom... 

What a wonderful moment in one's quit when they experience their first days of mental freedom from this addiction  

It was more enjoyable John ,because you wasn't looking for a place to smoke every Half an hour ..

You had more time and more fun with your friends ....a light bulb moment !!!

Thats great John!!! I'm still experiencing cravings now and then but boy, the first morning I woke up and didn't think about nicotine right away was a beautiful experience so I can relate to the joy you are feeling.

 

Its only going to get better and better. The freedom is an amazing feeling isn't it???? Good job and congrats!

That's great John. Everyone needs to get away once in awhile to reset their batteries and recharge.

Congratulations John. Savor those moments! More to come...

Congratulations on the great weekend
