Honestly it wasn't easy at all today. The folks at the lab who smoke occasionally were acting like a**es. They would tease me for trying to quit while we were having a couple of beers. The hardest time of the m all. I had to cancel going out with them because I was too hurt and also too tempted. Interestingly, it was the heavy smoker who was the most supportive.
Goes to show who your true friends are...

Hey Wazz,
I just did that last night... and this was 13 days into my quit. My friends were being not so friendly and I kind of snapped and left. Good thing I left...
Don't worry there are better days! They'll come soon :) Just keep posting, it helps venting.

cvdeb: you will too very soon... you'll see the days will start moving faster and faster. Soon, you'll forget you're quitting!
Tom: thanks for the support. I am doing it on my own and by myself. I know I don't need the support of my friends to get through this, since I am doing it for me. But it is nice when your friends cheer you on or notice that it has been 2 weeks... it shows they care. What I didn't like was some of them acting in a very patronizing way... but that's their choice too. I didn't end up going out with them after but instead spent more time chatting with my bf (who's also now 7 days smoke-free!!). I think that was a much better and more pleasant use of my evening :)
Cheers guys! Keep on strong!

Thank you so much Jodi! My bf said the same thing. Honestly the ones who were teasing me were the ones who only smoke at "social" events... so pretty much every weekend :P So I guess they may be a little jealous since they don't really like calling themselves "real smokers". What I brought up was the fact that they seem to be finding more and more excuses for having their little "socials" :P.
The rest of the weekend should be better though. It has been a lot better so far. Spent a lot of time working on my talk today and also chatting to my boy. Tomorrow I should be done preparing my talk and will be rewarding myself the rest of the day :).
Can't wait for next weekend!!

Hey Goofy! Congrats! To the three musQuitteers! I'm proud of you to be able to make it a whole night at the pub and not smoke. I on the other hand was feeling a little nervous about the whole thing on friday so I ended up not going out with everyone else after a couple of beers. It's probably best this way. I'll try beer again sometime soon... but I don't think I am ready for that just yet.
On to week 3 we go! woohoo!

Rusty! That is soooooo helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I will print it tomorrow and put it up on my fridge to keep reminding myself whenever I feel a little weaker :)
Great advice, especially the stretches and breathing... people tend to forget to just breath sometimes :)
