Went out drinking....

[nsd_user663_3602]

Went out drinking last night, was with lots of smokers.... AND I DIDN'T SMOKE!!!!!!

I didn't even particularly want too which is amazing as that has always been the thing that has made me stop before...

Now I can see more then ever that I don't need to smoke as I didn't enjoy myself anyless even though I wasn't smoking... I mean I was aware of it but not feeling bad about it

Day 5 now and chuffed that I still feel positive and not resentful that 'I can't smoke' as the truth is I could smoke if I wanted too but why would I want too, life is ok without it and I don't have to kill myself anymore! Still having a few funny withdrawal symptoms but I dont care as I feel proud of myself for getting this far! ....

Also don't think I would have got this far without this forum, I don't actually know many non-smokers so just knowing that there are a whole lod of people out there all trying hard to give up helps to remind me why I am doing this and also the shame of having to post back on day one is helping to keep pushing me forward.

Sorry to rant but just soo happy!!!

Goodnight, off to bed so I can wake up to DAY 6 YAYYY!

Well done and thank you to everyone else who has made another day without cigs

Well done you!

Going out for a drink is a big trigger and one that often leads to a relapse.

Stay strong and keep up the good work, the end of week 1 is in sight.

If you can keep this going you might even inspire some of your smokey friends to quit too!

Cheers
