Social Difficulties

Every time I make an attempt at quitting, I end up going out with friends on a weekend who all smoke. So even if I have managed all week without a cigarette, I smoke at the weekends as soon as I know I'm going to be having a beer or a social event. Other than becoming a hermit I don't see many other options. It's extremely hard to quit when others around me also smoke.

I too had this to overcome. What worked for me was having a drink at home and work myself through the cravings without being around my smoker friends. It was tough but I made it:) I can now work through the crave or think the cigarettes smell discussing because to me they truly do! Give it time, you will find a way keep at it! Finding that new normal without the smokes is a journey but a doable one.
