Dear Alley Ann
I hope your weekend is great. You will be soooo pleaseed when its over and you stayed nicotine free. It will be an AWESOME accomplishment and I know you can do it.
I went through my "firsts" and they were all challenging.
The first time going out with smoker friends, the first time at a bar, the first 4 hour car ride, first wedding, first family crisis, first funeral, first time being intimate....etc.
Thought I had all the firsts beat.
Then a couple of weekends ago I thought....I am ok to have a couple of cocktails....I can handle booze now without smoking. Since I was not driving, I had a few.
Without even thinking I picked up a box of smokes (my old brand) and put one in my mouth and was looking for a light when everyone started freaking!! THANK GOODNESS.
This was the demon taking advantage of me having my guard down.
I have rethought the alcohol thing and for now...I know I can't drink.
Have a Great Weekend Alley and
Stay Strong!
