Hi there, well, my first smoke free New Year, quite an achievement for me. I didn't find it a problem, a little thought now and again but nothing major at all.
Today is also the day when the new no-smoking law comes into effect in Spain, no bars etc, the reaction has been fierce but I expect it'll die down in a couple of days. It'll be so nice to have a coffee in a café and not have to worry, I also think it'll help a lot of people who want to give up.
My brother in law stopped smoking yesterday and logically he's finding it tough, he's going the cold turkey route (the same as me) and he's struggling but we've spoken this morning and he's a little calmer. It's a shame that SSC isn't in Spanish too, (he doesn't speak English) but I'm translating for him and we're going to work on his steps later. It's good for me too, a good reflection time.
I don't smoke, that's my new answer to anyone who offers me one! Only a short time ago I was very hesitant with my answer, it was like I didn't consider myself to be a non-smoker but now I'm starting to feel different, I feel more sure of myself and a little more confident.....good eh!
have a good no-smoking week!!

I like following your thread because it is inspiring! Good for you to get this far and feel like you would now feel weird with a ciggie in you hand - it's just not who you are anymore! How great is that? Too bad your friend is still locked into her addiction to the point that she feels the need to accuse you of cheating - but you know the truth and that is what counts! Maybe she will find the resolve to quit and make her way here someday - it sure does help to share tips and support. One more day smoke free here - and a good Valentine's day it is!
