Reciprocity

Over the next week we have Canada Day on July 1st and Independence Day in the U.S., July 4th. That means lots of parties with friends and relatives. Time to celebrate summer and rightly so! Just have a plan in advance for how you will handle these get together occasions if they are your first since quitting. You deserve to have a good time but you need to think about what the dangers might be to you so you can avoid them. There will be drinking and some people will be smoking so just give it some thought before hand so you know what you need to do to maintain your quit. Myself; I look forward to these occasions so I can tactfully work into conversation that I have quit smoking. I'm proud of what I've done and I know some smokers will envy what I've been able to do because they haven't taken the first step yet like we have. A few beers doesn't effect me negatively but it does for some. You have to know what YOUR triggers are and plan around them. There's been more than a few quits lost due to alcohol and smokers unexpectedly offering up a cigarette. Just think about it in advance and have a plan on what YOU need to do to maintain your quit. I sincerely hope you all enjoy your smokeless holidays!!.

Congrats H2N, fabulous quit you have built there! Celebrate your progress then push forward to that next big milestone. No time for cat-naps just yet :)

Hey Andy, only 1 more month to the Lido Deck!! Celebrate this milestone then push on to the BIG 1 Year mark. Well done sir - excited for you :)

Way to go Raidermom! That's a 1/4 YEAR quit you're rockin' now - fabulous :)

Yup to NOPE!

^^^ Huh?? I'll put all mine in. Can't remember how many it is but it's getting up there :)

WOW PT - that's crazy :o Hope you are recovering fully now. Weird stuff can happen in a medical situation that is deemed to be pretty normal and safe. A friend of mine's sister died having a wisdom tooth pulled. Just one of those crazy anomalies that happen from time to time without warning. Sounds like the whole experience hardened you resolve to quit though so that's something positive. Glad you're OK and still quit. You are for sure doing the best thing possible for your health by quitting the smokes :)

What? what happened? Was I asleep or just in a different world somewhere? 00

Good Job B and yes, if you can do the first 72 then the following 72 is very doable. You know what you're up against and you've now developed tools to fight the addiction. Stay positive and maintain your determination and you will definitely get there!
