Well done, I am sure it was not any easy thing to do, but you handled it.  And handling the addiction in difficult circumstances is what it's all about...
 
 
stay well

Awesome sfree!! isn't it nice to be on the other side now, clean smelling, money in pocket, enjoying life the way it was supposed to be enjoyed. This was a huge hurdle for you, the holidays and smokers all wrapped up in one big temptation, but you beat it, I am so proud of you.

Hi Sfree,
 
What a great post! So glad to hear that you survived a week with smoking holiday guests. Let's hope that you inspired them to even think about quitting themselves. What was the best part of being a non-smoker throughout the holidays?
 
Stay strong, and keep motivating those around you!

Sfree, congratulations on surviving a week of smokers!  And I'm glad that they went outside to smoke!  Isn't it great to be a non-smoker?  I am so happy for you!

So my family all leaves tomorrow to go home and it was an eye opening week.  My parents both smoke and they have been here all week.  I am so happy to say I am a non smoker and to have not missed one minute of anything because I had to have a smoke break or go outside to smoke this year.  I could smell them when they came in after smoking, yuck!!  And I realized how much of a smokers day is wasted smoking.  SO happy I made it through the week and saw the benefits of not smoking.
