I think the only thing I can really do is ride it out, just like everything else. Stay strong, keep it going. My roommate has a pack of cigarettes in the house (sucks). He was kind enough to NOT tell me where they are. He went to Mexico for spring break with some old college buddies of his. Said he smoked a ton. Now he has a pack of smokes in the house. I'm worried for him.
I'm not so sure about the breath thing. I think I might just think of it as a good thing. The stinkier it is, the more junk is coming out of my lungs. HURRAY for stinky breath. Since you know my story you know that my trust level with the girlfriend is kinda low in the smoking department, so that is where my concern comes in. I know I've been clean, and I can't have proof to that effect. The bad breath just means she brings up the question "did you smoke today". It sucks, but something I have to deal with.
Here comes an addict thought: Seems like the only way to prove that she can trust me is to have a smoke and tell her I did.
Of course I'd never do that, but it's funny of much of a catch 22 I'm in. I smoke, I lose. I don't smoke, I feel bad because she asks me if I have smoked. I'm going with option B). Don't smoke. COME ON 30 DAYS!!!!!
