Made it to week 3 now time to conquer the next challenge (ALCOHOL):)

[nsd_user663_8098]

Hello All,

I have made it to week 3 I would not have been able to see this day a couple of weeks ago!!

Thank you for all your support and advice it has really helped I actually got quite excited that I had moved on to the next stage haha

Still having the cravings and still feeling as scared as I was at the beginning but I am learning different ways to cope with it...

I have not touched any alcohol since my quit date so I am very worried that it may ruin all my hard work I have a ten hour flight next Monday so that will be the first time I will try drinking as even if I crave a cigarette I will not be able to have one so guessing that will be a good place to start.

If anyone has any advice how to conquer this next challenge I will appreciate any suggestions

Kate

I have had been out a few times and drunk alcohol. The first couple of times, I stuck to 2 drinks. I went to a dinner dance and had told my husband not to give me a cigarette if I asked for one. I didn't ask and I did have quite a bit to drink. I actually enjoyed not having to go out in the cold. When I was out on Friday, I just reminded myself that I did not smoke and did not want to be a slave again.

On a flight seems like a good place to start.

Maybe week three is not the best time to try it, if you're experiencing the "terrible threes" (day 3/week 3/month three are all supposed to be rotten!).

Alcohol nearly contributed to my downfall once already. Can you have just one glass and build up to more?
