Ended up out for two days straight and getting ridiculously drunk. (the way only scottish people can) So, i ended but smoking over the course of friday and saturday. I don't remember much but i know i did. its the longest iv ever lasted though and i did expect that if i ever got too drunk id smoke. Not too surprised or annoyed at myself.

good on you for not giving up on quitting..back on track and as droopy said, lets beat your 12 days this time :) :)

Hello euan93........you're trying........ You care......👏

I have to be very careful around alcohol too...... It's a trigger to smoke......

Eventually you will be able to drink and you won't want to light up ...... Keep going ........never give up🇨🇦

Hi Euan, thank you for being so honest with us :) :)

Rite pal, now you know smoking and drinking go hand in hand, there the best of buddies :o

Euan, you were doing ever so well :) soooo come on pal, lets get you on the right track again eh :) You know exactly why you had a mishap this time :o I'm not saying dont drink at all :o but !! drink in moderation so you and your mind are still in control :) and maybe, look at your friends you were with, were some of them smokers :o

I have learnt from some of our members, that some friends of theirs got really jealous cos they had quit smoking and have tried to tempt them back to smoking again :o

Euan, if you really want to quit smoking, then you put your best foot forwards, hold your head up high and flippin FIGHT for it pal and you WILL do it :) :) Maybe try an e-cig or an inhalator for when you go out and about :) ask your friends not to offer you a cig when you go out with them :)

You can do this if you put your mind to it and stay strong :)

i was avoiding e cig and the likes because i was trying to avoid nicotine completely but i think for times like this weekend i should get one. and my friends aren't the problem, they were really good haha. i remember needing to convince them to give me a cigarette.

An e-cig would be the better option, less harmful chemicals!!!!! Purchase one and use it when necessary

I certainly agree with this... When I have a drink I used to love to smoke with it and my e cig vape pen satisfies the urge and I don't even think about smoking while drinking. I actually can't stand the smell of a cigarette anymore!
