That is wonderful Sunflower! It is great to hug people and not feel self conscious about how one smells. Sounds like you had a great time. Welcome back.

Sunflower - Great reward ~ I bet Spain was beautiful ~ glad you had such a nice time. Hope to get there myself with the family when they are a little older. Bet the real reward was your family admiring your "quit qualities" (present and accounted for and smelling sweet!) I really enjoy traveling as a non-smoker, no stressing about when can I smoke, how long will it be before I can find a "designated area" blah blah blah. It's was all so bad and shameful. I see people running out at the airport and in parking lots smoking like their lives depend on it. Too bad they have it in backwards! Anyhow, congrats -- off to beach with you!!!

I am just coming back from a vacation in Spain with my husband. My Son and his family came from Sweden and we shared a wonderful week together. I were so happy when I got a big hug from my son and he told me that he always liked to hug me - but that it was so nice for him to not feel the smoke from me. He was very happy for me and I don't think I have ever felt so proud in my whole life! It was also so nice to be close to my Grand-kids knowing that I didn't smell awful anymore and I didn't need to have bad excuses to sneak away and have a cigarette. After a couple of days I realized that I didn't even count my number of smokefree days anymore. The flight was much easier, at the stop-over in the airport I didn't have a need to search for smoking areas and when I did pass the bars and coffee places where smoking was allowed - I didn't have the urge to smoke at all. To all of you who wonder if it is worth it - I can only say: YES - IT IS! It's not easy and you need to have the will, but you can do it! It is so very much worth it!

Sunflower, HOW Wonderful! You are an inspiration. Glad you had such a wonderful reward and that you had such a great connection with your son and your grandchildren. Wonderful to see you so proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing the glow of your success with us. Looking forward to seeing you on the beach in just 2 days.
