Groovekitty,
When I first quit, I had a roommate who did not support my quit at all, so I can relate. She never wanted me to talk about it, as I think she felt that her addiction was being threatened by my quitting. This is VERY common when one person quits. Smoking is an addiction... as such, people are very fearful when people close to them quit. Smoking has become an "us versus them" thing. Since many non-smokers shun smokers, smokers are drawn to each other. So, when one of the clan quits, the rest of the smokers feel that that person has abandoned them and gone to the dark side.
I think the best thing to do is keep your quit, but not really announce it. If someone asks, by all means, tell them that you have quit. And if someone offers you a cigarette, politely say "no". I know that this can be a very tough situation to get through when everyone around you smokes, but since you have a few months to prepare for this, take this time to make a plan. Plan what you will do when those around you are smoking... either take a walk, or sit with them without smoking if you think you're strong enough to do that. This is going to be a tough challenge to get through, but I'm sure you'll do fine! Congratulations on 47 days.
Crave the Quit!
