Golf and smoking

[Joe2]

Went golf the other day with a few friends they are both smokers.the game can be very frustrating at times but enjoyable.but i dont no why but seeing my pals lighting up i seemed envious i dont no why cause i work with smokers everyday and dont get those urges!maybe it was the sunshine!maybe it was my lousy putting lol.anyway i didnt give in to those urges but it made me realize that im not out the woods yet with my quit and that these mind games come out of nowhere.

Hey Joe, well done on resisting, that is great!   Yes, the guard must be up at all times ready to attack, as the brain needs to be re-trained on how we deal with the different situations where we once smoked.   The next one should be a lot easier to overcome.   

Well done again

Joe, I know exactly where you are coming from. I played golf at the weekend with some friends one of whom smoked. Being on a golf course was just one of those situations where I always used to smoke - especially on a nice sunny day out in the fresh air. It is getting easier though. This weekend when I played, for the first time I genuinely didn't even think about it. Well done for getting through it - quite some achievement

Another trigger point conquered Joe. It will be easier next time!
