I've peed 3x already

I didn't have my morning smoke and have consumed 48oz of water. I've already been in the bathroom 3 times. I did arm myself with a pack of those Quest nicotine free cigarettes on my way to work this morning. I'm going to a friend's house tonight and she is a smoker. I haven't really felt tempted yet, but if I can't handle the temptation being around smoke I wanted something that wouldn't set me back a day. Was this a good idea, or should I chuck those too?

You can do this. And when you do, you will feel a big sense of accomplishment. It is a control issue. Get back your control.
Stay smoke-free. One day/hour/minute at a time.

ps - - if you feel like you Could be tempted, Don't go tonight. Right now the important thing is to get a few days under your belt. Let her know what you are doing - - a good friend will support you.
Since you are not using any aids .. I assume ..
Your nicotine free smokes may work in a pinch ..
Perhaps use only if you *really* feel the need .. JMHO of course ..
Anyway to ask your friend to not smoke around you .. just wondering is all ..
It will make it more difficult tonight for you to not with her smoking ..
So do your best to be strong hon :)

Lol, when I quit I was afraid to get too far from the bathroom. What helped me the most was straws cut in 1/2 and I could generally mangle them if the crave was bad. The little drink stirrers are great for that I think. :) Something like Altoids with a strong burst of flavor helped too. :) Keep on drinkin that water .

That's good that you are drinking water to fight the urge, but if you feel you need a little more help, than by all means, I'm all for it!!
Remember that we are here for you at all times! You go girl!!
Much love,
