Slip ups along the way
I haven't been on this site for a wee while and should be up to 109 days without having a cigarette, however, I went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago and was having a few drinks and ended up smoking with friends and family. This should have stopped then but then a couple of nights later with family and friends we were once again having drinks and the dreaded cigs came out, I think it was a mixture of not drinking for such a long time, well since I had quit, that made this overly tempting. I am still ok without not having cigarettes but know if I have a drink I am extremely tempted and so I need to work on finding a solution to this as I have no intentions of being alcohol free for the rest of my life but would like to continue being as close to a non smoker as I can
Hi Michduncan, you ARE actually up to day 109. Just cos you hit a pothole along that bumpy road does not mean you are no longer on that journey. You had a blow out. The wheels have not all fallen off. Do whatever repairs are necessary. Rethink what you might do next time you go off road and off the beaten track. Be prepared. Set your GPS on a different course and enjoy the ride. Without nicotine that is...
You've done just fine. My advice is that a drink without a fag is ok. It just needs a little practice to be as relaxing as a drink with a fag. It's been trying in my neck of the woods but I continue to be fascinated by the emergence of new habits ie smoke-free habits. Wishing you all the best.
