It was an awesome trip being smoke-free! We had a couple of cook-outs and I ate entirely too much  :blink: 
The only thing that could have been better was if my husband and my sister were not still smoking. My husband is quitting soon and started Chantix last week.

My sis told me that she was going to quit soon too. I hope and pray she does.
She quit a few years back, but relapsed after 6 months.
I did not get pushy with her or try extremely hard to influence her to quit. But I did let her know how much better I feel now that I’m not smoking. How much my health has improved and the money I have saved etc.  She asked some questions about quitting, so I know she was listening  ;)
 
My sister has COPD and really needs to give up smoking.
So despite being around smokers all weekend, I had a very good time but most of all
I remained smoke-free!   :D

that's awesome sandy!

I did the same thing with my mother...not pushy but happy to say how great it was for me.  She was listening and is now over a year quit.  Now my sister quit 2 months ago. 

You planted the seed and are leading the way for them.  What a gift.  :)

 

Excellent news for you and glad you enjoyed your trip.

Brilliant news Sandy but I didn't doubt you for a minute :)  

 

Exactly the right way to handle smokers and how to help them in my humble opinion.

This is great Sandy!

 

I'm really glad that you had a great time :)

 

Wonderful news about your husband, too.  And hopefully your sister will follow (it sounds oike she is getting ready for it!).  Looks like you are inspiring everyone around you to quit, just by being you ;)

Lead by example to pay it forward!

I believe it's the only way Paul. Get too pushy and they resist.

Geez sounds like me not so long ago  :huh:

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
