Decided to go with friends down to our local pub on Friday night. Went great while out, thought about it a few times but nothing I couldn't handle. Then when I came home after quite a few alcoholic drinks the nicotine demon was raging at me. Worst of all my daughter is back home living with us and she smokes. I was like a child that wanted candy only to be told no. I jumped and screamed and said all sorts of things grrrrrrrrr

Luckily my daughter was very firm with me and sent me to bed. Moral to the story ' you never know when that nicotine demon in going to rare his ugly head. So pleased I didn't smoke and have to go through it again

Well done Jenny, but you were very lucky to have a supportive daughter. Too much alcohol is very dangerous in our quits. Lesson learned :)

She did! Dropped it off at the framer yesterday. I let her pick the frame as I've learned I can't be trusted with such things 🙂

Well done to your daughter. Today is another day Trem you have been in control for 50 odd days and doing brilliant too! :)
