Day 11 (nearly) - prep. for a tough day

Going to be a stressful day for me tomorrow and not sure I will get a chance to post.

Family wedding and all my family are bl00dy social smokers (despite half of them being doctors :mad:).

I know shouldn't drink really, but I would be kidding myself if I said I won't. So in preparation for the moment I will want the cigarette...

...my brother and sister and I will get drunk and tell each other how much we love each other and we will all be really happy to be together before one of them says I fancy a cigarette lets find some... and I will think well we hardy ever all go out together - one won't hurt.

OK - must not kid myself - it has never been just one for me. I will hate myself in the morning, I will feel great posting here tomorrow night saying I wasn't even tempted. I will have to do this all over again and I am not sure I will ever believe I can give up if I fail this time.

I think I will take a cup of tea out and stand with them - then I will be doing something with my hands and not feel left out :eek:

Hi Zena, it may be too early for you to drink and still be strong enough to resist smoking. I have read a lot from people who drank alcohol early in the quit and just couldn't resist it, I hope this does not happen to you. I wish you lots of luck, and I hope you are strong enough, please let us know how you get on. Enjoy your day :D
