Smoke Free Days 30-37

Well as you can see from the heading, there's less to talk about the longer into it I get.

A woman from the Together Programme phoned me and I had a chat with her and the one thing I did talk about was the fact that I feel I'm failing every time I enter a smoky atmosphere and how I felt it set me back. She reassured me that even though, yes, I'm passive smoking, it's still not as bad as smoking a cigarette and that I shouldn't beat myself up about it and she reminded me about July - not that I need reminding. So my saying of the moment, without any doubt is: Roll on July!

There have been 2 or 3 situations where I've noticed being a non-smoker. I was round at my friend's on Saturday night. She smoked - not a great deal albeit, so the house wasn't particularly smoky. What was good though was that she was smoking cigarettes of which I've neither liked the taste nor the smell. I did feel however, that even if they had have been my own brand or something similar, I still would not have felt the urge to have a cigarette.

I went to a seminar yesterday (Sunday) and during the lunch break, after having some sandwiches, I was aware that I didn't feel the need for a cigarette. Being in a fairly boring situation in the past, would have given me the urge, but not yesterday. Then I went to find someone - I knew he was in the bar, so I went in there and golly gosh, it was thick with smoke!! I stood in there for no more than about 30 seconds at which time, I made my leave, couldn't take it, making me cough!
