Day 74 - Huge crave yesterday ...

Alcohol, a substance that can easily be a major trigger. Was catching up with some old friends and ex-colleagues last evening, had a some drinks and one of them pulled me out for a fag. I told that person I don't smoke anymore and he did not believe me. Anyway, stood outside with him, and he had his fag, I held my line. :) All good.

Went back into the diner, and I was thinking, wouldn't it be nice to just have one for old times sake ?... :eek:

And then I thought about my OH, all the fun I had whilst cycling, and the intensity of the crave reduced, although it was still simmering in the background.

Goes to show that we have to remain vigilant, 74 days, can't believe it's been this long, never in my life have I stayed away from the sticks this long. Hope my next crave doesn't happen anytime soon.

Moving on , and have a great weekend everyone !

Well done for resisting the crave Edged, we do have to stay vigilant, even more so longer into our quits so that we don't become complacent, thinking about why we don't smoke when a crave comes is a great idea. :):)

I always enjoy these kinds of posts, it just reiterates how hard quitting can be.

But you held strong, so be proud. I have a feeling your going all the way, to the penthouse.

Well done you, you did not cave in, brilliant:)
