Weekend

Good morning everyone I hope you are all feeling great today. Am off to the pub today for lunch with my partner anda few drinks. Normally the drinks would be associated with me going outside for a ciggy. I truly think this is a mental addiction as well as a physical, and gave myself a stern talking to last night. I tend to talk to myself a lot these days...lol... Hope that you all have a great weekend :-)

Hi Kaz3554, hope you had a great lunch without those awful ciggies. I am on day 127 today and I am thinking about them a little less everyday. I completely agree it is such a mental game. Telling yourself life is so much better without them which is so true. I have found I am actually living life so much more. Even shopping now I have the time to actually look around without having to shop quickly so I can leave and rush to put toxins inside me. Strange habit when you really think about it. Anyway all the best, stay strong :)

Hi Kaz, I do hope you are ok. Sounds like you have set your mind straight beforehand which is great. I remember my first time out to the pub was horrendous. I had every intention of staying strong but of course a few drinks later and well....I was climbing the walls. I didn't give in but I just simply had to escape and race home with the worst cravings in the world. I managed to get through that experience without smoking but geez it was so hard. I hope this doesn't happen to you. I didn't attempt it again for quite some time after that and only drank around non-smokers which was so much easier! Good luck and stay strong today! Let us know how you go.
