- Should I reset my clock
Should I reset my clock

After 13 days free I sliped up 2 nights ago while drinking. I was going well at the start of the night fighting off all the urges, but at the end of the night I knew where I had left my last few cigarettes from weeks ago. I caved in and smoked 2 full cigarettes one after another, i regretted it instantly and have been straight back on track since. I threw the packet out. Not happy thinking of seeing all those days go down the drain, do we need to reset our meter for a case like this?

Hi Pj250. Try to forget erring and caving in. Just keep going smoke free and realise you do not want go back to day 1. That may be your best wake up call. Try to do things differently next time. Drinking is not an excuse to smoke as you know. Wish you well on your journey.
