Last night was a big night. No big event just friends down the pub. But this was my first night out in 2 years as 1) a single woman, and 2) a non smoker.

 

I wore an almost embarrassingly short dress and suitably uncomfortable shoes, did my hair and make up and aside from having a bit of a suprise cry was ready.

 

Down the pub there were a lot of joint friends, people who were both mine and his (the ex) friends.

 

I took robf's advice and told my best friends my plan of escape if things get bad.

 

Well. It wasn't that bad. People went outside for smoke breaks and I realised I had about 5 non smoking friends. I hadn't ever considered how many smoking or non smoking friends I had before! This made it easier.

 

I bitched and off loaded about "the bastard ex" they agreed like friends should. They even commented on my skin looking good!

 

Several drinks later. I started getting triggers. BIG triggers. Wanted a cigarette so badly so decided to leave. Fell off my chair and flashed my knickers to the entire pub. Yes, it was time to leave! Maybe the short dress and heels wasn't the best idea!

 

A (non smoking) girl friend actually walked me home and made sure I was watered and fed back at my flat. Awesome friends. Awesome night!

 

I did it!

Sounds like a good night - except of course for the craves, falling off the chair and knicker flashing bit !! The good news is each time you face down these situations the stronger you get ! 3daa4cc69413a4a4fda538b0ecb14120_zps9b10

 

Oh and give your friends a thank you hug for me - they sound like awesome support ! 3daa4cc69413a4a4fda538b0ecb14120_zps9b10

Big test for yourself and you did excellent (except falling of the bar stool thing)

 

You will probably make some new non smoking friends and might not see some smoking frirnds as much.

 

Nice work on keeping your quit

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
