Had a few drinks yesterday

Hi there,
I am on my 17th day without smoking. I must say that I can already feel the positive impact on my daily life. I am much more energetic and relaxed and I can breathe with more ease.
Going to the gym feels already very different as I practise with more intensity and endurance.
I had a few drinks yesterday with some friends. I was a bit nervous about that, as alcohol is number one on my triggers list but it went very well. I even sat outside with some friends while they were smoking and I didn't smoke nor wanted to smoke. In fact I couldn't help but tell myself how stinky their smoke was and how useless this habit looked.
Well, we had a good dinner and some good laughs and that's what life is about, isn't it?
I hope that this message will help you in your quit.
Cheers and enjoy life

A very positive and encouraging post Valentino. I am glad you remembered that you are giving up the habit of smoking , not your life or your friends. Most of all you are "seeing" smoking in a different way. See how people enjoy the first few puffs and the rest goes unnoticed. They had their fix and can now enjoy other things. We no longer need to do that. We are free of Mr. Nicotines demands.
Keep up the great work and positive posts!
