With Smoking Friend, Not Smoking

[Genecanuck]

Hi, I’ve had a few drinks and I’m hanging out with a friend who is smoking.

I’m not going to smoke but just craving them right now.

So here to remind myself why I need to keep my quit.

Well, the craving  is gone. It’s interesting that all it took was a little bit of distraction in the moment.

You are doing great @Genecanuck  I remember the strong cravings I got when I would drink during the beginning of my quit.  It's not easy but you are getting through them just great!!!

Thank you everyone it’s Sunday night and I’m visiting more friends who are smokers. My very best friend from college days and her husband smokes. I had a momentary  desire to smoke with her… I just told myself that smoking was not an option. I had to step outside for some fresh air because the smoking felt suffocating.

So great that you are able to take smoking off the table! Every time you choose freedom your quit gets stronger!
