Hi there Fran!
Well, we have a few things in common. :)
Firstly, my kids didn't say anything either. Now, granted they are only 7 and 3, but they made a fuss every time my hubby and I smoked. They told us we "stink", and they backed away from hugs, and crinkled up their noses when a kiss was given. My daughter learned about smoking in school, and always asked us why we smoked. My other daughter, when she was 2, picked up a butt in the backyard and put it to her mouth and said "Hey Mommy, I do just like you!". Sad thing was, she was actually excited and thought she did something good. I missed a lot of their young years by spending my time in my garage, smoking. But you know all of that stuff...............
Secondly, I went to Laughlin when my quit was 20 days. When I opened the door to the Lobby, I was amazed. There was sooooo much smoked in there! I never noticed just how much....... Something in me clicked, and I knew that I would not smoke. To be right next to someone who is smoking took a lot of willpower, especially when I was drinking too. But I still knew that I did not want one.
I would not recommend someone going there until their quit is secure. And dont let your friends tell you that one drag is okay. N.O.P.E. One drag is not okay when you are quit. Even when you turn into the green monster craving a smoke.
I'm sorry this is so long. I also want to congratulate you on your sucess so far. 6 days now! That is something to celebrate! Remember to reward yourself. Your first week is tomorrow!!!!!!!
Keep us posted. :)
