Word or term in question:

"la que me he librado"

Se sacó un cigarro de un bolsillo de la chaqueta. A diferencia de su mujer, no usaba pitillera, quizás porque no tenía tanta devoción por el tabaco como ella. Sólo fumaba en ocasiones como aquella, mientras pensaba "la que me he librado".

[he only smoked at times like this] while thinking, "that was a close call"

My comment:

I understand it as an expression of relief. He smokes thinking that he came to a close call on whatever the situation was.
