Sweet 16

Well as day 16 roll's (or grinds..... maybe even crawls) to a close I've survived another day and so have all the surly, irritating, smug, annoying and just plain 'breathing' people who may have annoyed me for any reason at all.
I've been away for the weekend and have spent it in the company of more smokers than non- smokers and I survived, didn't even bother me (apart from being left on my own while the smoking was happening of course), it's a lonely life, that of a non smoker (kidding).
Latest observations........ people who smoke REALLY stink and have no concept of how much they stink.
People who smoke talk about giving up more than people who actually do something about it!!!!
People who have recently quit smoking don't really like hanging out with people who smoke.
What the hell did we used to do before we started smoking that filled up all the time we spent smoking??? I am seriously wondering whether most of the ciggies I ever smoked were to kill time!
I think that's it for now......... thought I'd better 'check in' just incase anyone thought I'd fallen off the wagon, hope everyone had a great weekend.
Go Meanie, we have a new legend stepping up to the plate :)
Good on you for surviving your weekend mega impressive stuff.
i spent last night at a birthday function on a bar balcony in the city with more smokers than non smokers also. Must say it didn't really worry me - until I got home. Then I wanted one but just went to bed and that was that.
You know why you think smokers stink it's because your sense of smell is back. I swear I have super sonic smell these days, I can smell a smoker from miles away.
And so completely hear you about non smokers talking about giving up. Although I do hear myself well the smoking winner in them. I used to have grandiose plans for quitting but alas they never worked. Until NOW when my mind was ready for all the little tricks.
You should be REALLY proud of yourself huge win being away and not giving in. Proud of you! Others on here will be too.
I am heading to day 45 tomorrow. Woo hoo. And glad I am reading your post now as opposed to in the morning on the bus, don't want to go past my stop again :)
Hopefully your sleep will start to return to somewhat normal patterns this week as well. High five, for your brilliant effort.

Hi Meanie & Winner. Great to hear you both survived the weekend. You both make me laugh, thanks. I laughed meanie when you wondered if most of the ciggies were to kill time. I've often wondered what I did with all my time before kids too. And winner, glad you'll most probably not miss your stop in the morning, although I'm sure someone else will have something hilarious to say. Congratulations to you both.
