I trust we all survived the holiday with our quits intact.
I for one had the most difficult challenge to date. Having been invited to Thanksgiving dinner I could not really complain about the timing which seemed odd to me. Two o'clock is a good time for dinner which allows you to nibble and pick all day and into the evening. But my host decided dinner would be served at six o'clock. Six came and went as sides were baked and wine was poured. Finally, we sat down to the very tasty and much appreciated meal at nine o'clock. (N I N E!) Everyone, six in total, enjoyed a full and proper plate piled high with everything "Thanksgiving." And upon finishing the last morsel five of the six of us pulled out packs of cigarettes and lit up in unison! It was quite a sight to behold and believe me after such a meal I really could have smoked one but I stuck to my guns and enjoyed the company and another glass of wine.
Today marks 87 days quit and $653.00 saved according to the Chantix GetQuit support page.

Wow, Chris, that's quite the delay and quite the temptation. You know all of us reading along can relate to how tough that had to have been after the big feast. Even without that kind of extra temptation I had some increased tuggings this weekend. We made it, and that's what counts. And I'm still stuffed...
Chris - congratulations on getting through a stressful holiday (and yes, I believe they are all stressful!) without smoking. The fact that you were surrounded by smokers and still kept quit is a testament to your determination to be a non-smoker. Like Maggie said, we all made it. Pat yourself on the back (I know I'm going to!). A 7-hour delay in the dinner plans is a tad extreme - I'm glad you were able to go with the flow! Best wishes for continued success - your story is inspiring.
