Aragh it was hard. It was a fairly nice place so not many people were smoking, but you know how it is, nobody smokes, then all of a sudden one person lights up,and before you know it the rest get out their filthy habit.
I sat there and I really thought about smoking. It was so hard. I decided to drink no more, and come home early.
There in lies a lesson. Now i am back, I am SO CHUFFED I didnt smoke. Right then the temptation was there staring me in the face, so I got out of the situation.
Another problem that i have, is that my partner was a social smoker (in that he socially smoked my cigarettes). Now he is forced to quit, as I have quit.... and that is causing problems in itself. He is snappy as he cant smoke, which is ridiculous, as he hardly smoked anything anyway.
I am glad that this board was here. It felt good that I did resist, and that i could come back here and I havent ruined my quit.
What helped was the concept of treasuring, loving and taking care of your quit....... when I wanted to smoke, I thought of it like that, and didnt want to damage it... it helped. I had never thought of it like that before, but it made my quit more powerful and important than the cigarette.
