Hi all :)

[Dean1981]

Just thought I’d check in! Hope everyones well. Im back on my nicorett inhalor today. I’ve come to the conclusion I need to go booze free for the time being so I have no weak moments for cigarettes. Fingers crossed 🤞

Hi Dean Will keep our fingers crossed for you (and toes if it will help!!) I stayed away from booze for quite a while when I quit because I would chainsmoke when I was drinking, so I think your doing the right thing. Give yourself a few weeks maybe even a couple of months away from the booze too. Stay strong💪💪

Yeah im staying away from the beer. Diet coke for me lol

Hey Dean how are you finding it? Hopefully we'll . You on day five now yes? And I don't really drink so I am not sure about that particular hurdle but sounds like you have at least a solution for now. Wishing you well!

Dean1981 , you don't need to go out for a drink, I'm living proof of that. I've not had alcohol for 2 years and 80 days. I've not had a cigarette now for 80 days.

Just get busy doing anything, clean out a closet, paint a room, put a puzzle out and when craving(the urge) comes go to your puzzle. Make up a new game of your own.. good luck. Distraction distract conquer🚭🔠😬 Jeff

Hi jeff thanks for the wise words 👍🏻 Im only 36 & single so getting myself out at least socially is kinda important to me. But do i just drink diet coke 😕

[Dean1981 in reply to Jwk1962]

Well congratulations jeff thats an impressive feat in itself 😂 im not quite there yet lol

[Cashierlady in reply to Dean1981]

Aww I am sorry to read about your slip Dean . Good on ya for not giving up! I don't think you have to stop going out but maybe you should try different places where you won't be as tempted . Or maybe there's something else you could try to keep you distracted from the craves. Im sorry I can't be more helpful , I'm not so far along myself . I know you can do it maybe there's just another part of the bigger picture you have to see and work on. Wish you a relaxing day 2 . You got this 😎
