It can be done....

This is the first weekend I have trialled my non smoking status in a going out scenario. You know wine and a meal. I started off small my sister and I a Chinese and wine. It was not too bad. I ate.. battling the bloat.... had a sip of wine and found I hated the taste! !!! I don't know who was more surprised her or me. So I just had squash! !!!! I know i know... wild living. I wouldn't say I had a massive craving to go out for a cig just a niggle that I got rid of with my e cig. Perhaps this is the way forward ? Start off small and build up breaking down the difficult without a cigarette events bit by bit?

I hope you all had a good NOPE weekend.I

Hi 4cats☕️☕️

Love your post.... Smart to be careful around alcohol👍🏻  its such a trigger for me .... I really hope my condo in Mexico has wifi because Mexico spells margaritas and ol Mr Nic will be in Mexico with me 😂😂😂

Speaking of cats..... I live in a very dry high altitude of mountain air.. So I just bought a humidifier to put some moisture in the air, and my cat lays on HIS chair haha and is mesmerized by the steam coming out ... At least he won't be bored ... He's an indoor cat so I have to keep him entertained haha

Just thought Id share that with you 🌷

That is so cute!! My eldest George loves my bedside fan. He lies on his back with his paws in the air purring whilst the fan ruffles his tummy fur. Ernie my little kit loves the water feature in the garden and sits on it .... they are weird and wonderful creatures cats xxx

Well done 4cats..... Another test passed 😊 Yep small steps are good.... Interesting about the wine though..... Giving up didn't change the way I felt about vodka 🙀😟😂

Well Done 4catsandcounting, your doing Fab, alcohol is a big hurdle , I know when I had a beer in my hand , my cigs were always close. That doesn't bother me anymore. But if it does like you I  have a drag of my e cig and that gets rid of the craving . Big achievement xx

well done 4catsandcounting you are doing so well I have found that nothing tastes the same just so bland lol my sister is hoping I might try an Indian we will see lol.Ive got 2 cats love them to bits but they wind each other up the problem I have is no knowing which one started it cause they are both black lol.

[Hidden in reply to Bevie1968]

Bevie that is part of their evil scheme... look like twins so you can't be sure who it was and don't tell them off. I am in awe at their skills. Next they will disguise themselves as your neighbours cat.....

[Bevie1968 8 MONTH WINNER in reply to Hidden]

Well I do tell them off but they just look at me as if to say it wasn't me lol

Well done 4 cats, great idea and delighted it went well for ya😊

I never had a taste for wine but I'm partial to the odd gin and tonic😉

Keep doing what you're doing coz you're doing great🚭👍🏼

I adopted a cat as I think he was dumped out and came into my shed. Mind you it cost a fortune at the vets as he was very sick, probably why he was dumped in the first place😡 I'm a sucker is written on my forehead😂 He now lives a very charmed life and I'm his slave😺

I hear you Briarwood I hear you! Isn't that the truth! !? I look at my 4 furry terrorists and wonder how I came to be their slave. Mind you they have enslaved the entire family... husband goes to get them a rotisserie chicken once a week???, and my son has to sleep hanging off the bed as they all clamber onto his bed. The funny thing is we all buckle to their terrorist ways. They are evil geniuses!!!!!
