Went for first holiday family gathering today as a nonsmoker. Went better than I anticipated. Had a couple of strong urges. I put mint in mouth,grabbed my water bottle and took my self away in time out and took a walk. After the 3rd urge, I decided it was time to go. Yay I chose not to smoke and came home as a nonsmoker. And yay Shawn I did take my lemon with me but thankfully did not have to bite on that lemon lol. My mouth puckers and jaws tighten just thinking of biting into a lemon. haha Woot!!! didn't give in. However, since I have been home have had some strong and persistent urges. I am heading to bed and wil deal with the urges tormorrow if need. Thanks to all for the extra advise and of course thanks you the elders for all your
