Mindy's version of Smoking is Not an Option!!

I haven't been around in weeks. I apologize for not being in touch. I am still smoke free :-) At 85 days I am still having urges, but they pass.

Well I have been busy :-) And SMOKE FREE! Wooooo~!

I went out to an Oktoberfest event, had way too much to drink, we around smokers and didn't even want to smoke! Actually, I wanted to get away from them.

My advice to others, just keep focused on your goal, breathe and realize you were a nonsmoker first!
