Midway point of week 2 & it's been relatively plain sailing so far. The past few days i've had 1 or 2 major cravings a day, usually on my drive home from work. Annoying, but not too hard to deal with. I've been nice & calm, a little bored at times but never once felt remotely tempted, which i'm really pleased about.
Massive test this weekend though... a night out in town! I know i can do it, but i'm starting to dread it already, which is only gonna make any cravings on the night even worse. I'll be gutted if i slip up!

Dont worry MrE
Everything will be fine, quite often the antisipation of what will happen is worse than the actual event.
Just try to not get blotto and you will be fine!!!!
Don't dread the weekend MrE, embrace it, hit it head on, old nasty Nic is always up for a fight but you're now mentally and physically superior than he is. Let him do his worst, he can't win, it's a no contest.
Nah, it's a fairly relaxed, quiet one. I don't really feel up to a full-on night out yet! The reason i'm nervous is, this is my... 8th (or so) attempt at quitting.
I generally have very little trouble kicking it cold turkey. I can go for months without too much hassle. I get very few of the hardcore withdrawal symptoms once the initial 3 day detox part is over. However, the instant i so much as even hold an alcoholic drink, it hits me like a freight train. It's the one trigger i struggle to break.
Social smoking would be fine if i could handle it, but it always leads me back to the full 20+ a day habit.
