Anyway, I have posted on here a few times as I was finding it hard when drinking but I kind of found a solution albeit a bit cheesy.
I kept saying I wanted to make new memories/associations as a non smoker, so instead of avoiding the thing (alcohol) that made me want to smoke I carried on as normal!
I can now happily drink minus the cigs, I think it really is about making those new memories to prove to yourself that you can enjoy life without cancer sticks lol.
Good luck everyone!
I am also happy as, contrary to what you are told I have lost 4lbs since stopping, as I've been on a health kick!
xoxo Coralie

Well done on month 1 coralie. I completely agree with you on the making new associations. So much nicer to think that as we get rid of old ones, we can form new ones.
I was a bit worried about having a drink but I must admit its so much easier now with the smoking ban. I relapsed on my last quit cos I couldnt handle having a drink without a cig so this time I just went for it got it dealt with early on and now a couple of weekends down the line its no big deal. Phew!:cool:
