Day 24 CANT BELEIVE I AM STILL NOT SMOKING

Ok, did you ever travel in someone's car while they smoke.  I just did, can I tell you it was the hardest I have struggled thus far.  I had to drive with him for 3 hours to a meeting, he pulled out the first ciggy and lit it up.  Oh my was that hard, I had to sit n my hand and not reach for one, I was able to ward off the impulse to extract one from the box sitting on the center console.  It seemed to be calling my name, longing for my kiss around its neck.  Yes well I just said no! And like that I was ok that time, until 20 minutes later it happened again and again in 20-30 minute increments.  Even when we were nearly there he had to light one last one to sustain him through the meeting.  Well that was the journey there and the back wasn't much different, even as we were near home I thought to myself I will have just one and I wont have the opportunity to smoke more.  But I thought JUST SAY NO, and I did although it was very hard, I have just been back maybe 15 minutes now and I am letting you know I had success.  Even though right now I am slightly craving a cigarette.  But it is OK because I am still not smoking and that make me smile and my lungs sigh in relief!!!!
