had a big slip up and feel so ashamed
So I definatley know alcohol is my weakness for smoking, and sat night I went to the pub had way to much to drink, and then almost smoked a whole packet of cigerettes, I am so ashamed in myself I was doing so well but I'm not going to stop trying and realised how much i hate smoking, even my partner tried to help me not light up but i didnt listen, We are both going to try and put everything we can in not going to the pub until im confident i can stop
Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. The important thing is that you learn from this experience. You'll be better equiped next time.
yes ElyseJ thats the problem when u drink cos a drink and smoke went together.!!! Now i have a empty hand i have a drink in each one lol only jocking.You had a slip up it happens im sure you will be back on track real soon Best of luck
Elyse, you can't keep punishing yourself by not going to the pub, remember nothing changes, you just don't smoke, it's hard the first time or so but when you've realized you can and have done it then you're confidence will grow and you're free of it!
Hey Elyse
I'm the same... I went 12 days without one and disn't find it too hard and one day at the pub with a friend that smokes and that was it. I felt terrible as well and yet it does make you more determined in a way. So maybe just part of the process. I'm 5 days smoke free since my slip up and wondering if I just forgo drinking and socialising at all until I give myself a couple of weeks to establish not smoking. Not sure. Still working on it. But you'll get there just like I will because we are tryiny and want it. Good luck.
thanks guys :) jas I'm definatley more determined now than i was the last time, I'm now on my 9th day again smoke free and don't even think about having one because I know how bad I felt before, I hope your journey is still going great i feel so much stonger now, panda- I went to the pub again the other day to wait for my partner and had a few beers but didnt have the erge to light up at all :) it was such a great feeling! although beer isnt the drink that makes me want to light up its usually alcohol mixed in with coke that gets me, but none the less i feel proud and i am cutting down alcohol and steering away from pre mixed drinks with coke :) hope your all going great!
