Good on you David, you should be feeling proud of yourself :) :)

Many members take a break from drinking for a wee while until they feel they are in control of their quit and are confident they can stay in control with a few beers etc.

How long do you believe i should abstain from drinking before i feel in control and not worrying i might smoke

How long did you take before you could have a drink with friends and be in control or enjoy yourself.

I have never been a big drinker so am not much help, i am sure others will be on an can share their story.

You will probably know yourself.. I had been quit for about 5 months and was camping up the river, had a couple of drinks, and was rolling ciggies for step son as he was in no fit state to role them..At no time did i even consider wanting one :)

it's different for everyone. I can have a few beers and not one or I can have a few beers and want to eat one. Ha

The smell doesn't bother me and I am not sure if that's good or bad.

I'm def done and not going back. I've seen first hand the downside of the evil cigs.

Good luck and you do what you have to do to keep your quit!

I'm on day 24! This is awesome! But hard. Hahah ahhh the roller coaster!

Well done Shimoni, you're in control😊

its all a learning process and Rome wasn't built in a day😉 Be very proud of yourself for 3 weeks and NOPE🚭😊x

Hi Shimoni😀 I too have to watch drinking as alcohol is a huge trigger for me to light up. Instead of going to a party this weekend, I handed out Halloween candy to the little ones..... I'm in my 6 th week now..... Still new to quitting and determined not to light up ...... Sure is a lifestyle change hey

Hang in there🙋

Yes, like you say, fags and drink are the best of buddies :o so perhaps abstain from drinking for a bit longer until you get more confidence with your quit eh :)

Your doing ever so well Dave, you really are and am loving it :) :)
