My first day...!

Today was my first day of work in nearly 4 years!  I'm exhausted but feeling sooooooo amazing!  The best part? My supervisor asked if I smoked because he was going to tell me the smoking policy and where to go.  I PROUDLY belted out that I DO NOT smoke.  He actually asked me if  I was sure I didn't smoke!!!  It's such a rare thing for someone to not smoke in a big warehouse factory type setting but I stuck to it and said nope I wouldn't need the smoking area!

I am not all proud though.  =-/  a few days ago I had such a strong urge for a cigarette that I just sat contemplating on getting a pack.  But I kept telling myself do I want to start all over?  Do I want my husband, after 3 weeks of staying quit, to see and be influenced by my weakness?  It wasn't worth it, and I didn't get that pack.  Now I'm at 70 days smoke free and cannot be more proud of myself and my husband!

AWESOME!!! You're right - that spouse having quit is an added motivator. My guy is on day 8 and I am on day 65 and I now feel like you - I wouldn't want to influence him going back to it by caving in myself.

It does feel great to answer "NO" to the dreaded smoking question doesn't it? It's just one of the great things that happens for us!
