ME TOO!!! Having all the grown kids, etc... over on Monday for a BBQ and swimming in the pool. Most everybody smokes. Hubby...the SUCCESSFUL quitter...has to work, so I will be with the group on my own as hostess. Smoking is permitted outside near the poolhouse opposite the house (far from me) I'll be the one next to Cybrduke doing the grilling, so there may be a little smoke. I'll smell like hickory chips as opposed to tobacco..cuz..I'm gonnadoit! NOPE! :) Of course, when we all get together, there is a great chance of a familial free-for-all. :confuse: However, I have more wind since quitting and both hands will be free now, so I think I can take them!!! :p

Great thread, TT. Weekends are the hardest for many because the distraction of work isn't there and many of us are into situations where we used to smoke. Three-day weekends are even harder because of the gatherings and partying. But that's not to say we can't all get through this smoke-free. It can be done. Just remain vigilant and place your quit foremost in your priorities. Cybrduke, I never realized you were pyrochallenged! Stay up wind and keep a fire extingusher close to hand. :8o: Have a safe, fun, and smoke-free weekend everyone. Keep up the good quits!

I'm sorry - but I can't promise I wont smoke. There is an outside chance that as I'm grilling burgers I could set myself on fire and that would cause me to smoke, at least until the fire is put out. So... OH! You meant cigarettes - funny - I forgot about those stupid things.... Yeah - I promise - I wont touch those things.......
