This is my 12th week of not smoking. There are many benefits but right now I want to share I enjoyed this week.
I took a business trip:
1. I did not have to worry about packing enough cigarettes
2. I did not have to try to smoke as many as possible on my way to
the airport
3. I did not have to give away my lighter and worry about finding a
way to light a cigarette when I landed
4. I did not have to worry about the plane being delay, if I could not smoke in the airport or wondering if I had time to go back out security to have another smoke.
5.When I landed in my connection city, I did not have to hope that there was a smoking lounge in the airport or try to go outside to smoke.
6.When I arrived at my destination I did not have to run outside, find where you could smoke, find a light and try to smoke before they removed my checked luggage from baggage claim.
7. I did not have to worry about a drive to the hotel in a cab or rental car without smoking
8.I did not have to worry about meeting clients or my fellow employees before I had the chance to smoke. Or ask for a smoking room in front of them.
9. I did not have to worry if the hotel had smoking rooms or not
10. I did not have to worry about finding out where people went to smoke around the client�s site
11.I did not have to worry about getting in and out of the client building, or getting a security badge to go smoke.
12.I did not have to worry about going to lunch and dinner with the client and not smoking
13. I did not have to worry about smelling like smoke. I was in a meeting with over 20 for a full day and do not think any of them smoked! I did not either!
This was my business trip since I stopped smoking. I have been very fortunate to have a project where I have been working from home.
I was a bit nervous about the trip in relationship to smoking. I had smoking on my mind more than normal and a few cravings that I had to work through. Being alone in a hotel room is a place where I used to smoke up a storm. But I did it, I did not give in and I know that I will be more comfortable on the next trip.
When I arrived home I went out to dinner with my husband (who never smoked). We went to a sport�s bar to watch a game and have some wings. Smok
