Out tomorrow night..

Tomorrow will be my big test. My first night out since I quit. In fact my first night out as a non-smoker since the smoking ban came in [I am hoping that will make a difference]. It's my birthday celebrations with friends and I should be looking forward to it...but I am kinda dreading it too.

Any tips? :)

Thankfully most of my mates dont smoke, its just the odd few that do that socially! I am just gna have to watch the drink, cos I know that I will either drink more to compensate or I will lose my resolve if I get too tipsy!

Cheers mate! :)

Yeah, ach I guess they are really supportive so I know they will keep a wee eye and make sure I stay away from the dirty smokers outside ;)

Blue-tac is a great idea!! Or I have a wee worry stone I might keep in my pocket to occupy my hands too. Didnt think of that!

Sian,

Just think positive and stay strong.

Picture it, you have a few to drink and you have a fag or two. How will you feel the next morning ? I bet you'll feel suicidal. Now imagine how you will feel Sunday morning, ok your head will probably be banging after a heavy night, but if you can get through the night without having a single drag, bad head or not you will feel over the moon :)

Approx 10/12 years ago I gave up smoking for 3 years, 3 long and happy smoke free years years, then out with the lads one night, had too much to drink, stupidly i thought i wonder what a fag tastes like. Had 1 fag.......wow total head rush, and that was it, i was back smoking again. Ok, not up to 20 a day to start off, i thought i can cope with the odd fag here and there, then it became....ok i'll just have one in the evenings, then it became....ok i'll just have one in the mornings and one in the evenings, and that was it.......and i've regretted it ever since.

So, don't even be tempted just to try a fag to see if it tastes nice or horrible, it's just not worth the risk.

Anyway, enjoy your night out :)

I have been quit for 2 Days, 23 hours, 45 minutes and 58 seconds (2 days). I have saved £12.32 by not smoking 89 cigarettes. I have saved 7 hours and 25 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 12/03/2008 00:00
