Hit me last night

LOL, Much as we may hate to admit it, we do become our parents, at least to an extent. Windy you were protecting your quit! I pretty much had the same thing happen last Fri nite, Hubby & I stopped off at the sports bar for a drink & supper, when a load of friends came bouncing in. Hubby had to go to a meeting so he left and suggested I stay, which I did for an hour. But red flags appeared, when I realized this was going to be a party night and I realized I need to avoid certain situations, and this is one of them. I think that may have been a magic moment for me...I am suddenly more aware than ever before of my quit and what I am willing to do to keep it. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 28 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 724 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $295.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 59 [B]Seconds:[/B] 52

Oh Gonna - Please tell me it isn't true! My Dad is a grumpy old man with big thick yellow toenails (but a pretty funny sense of humour)...Is that where I'm headed???

Windy, Smoking used to be an escape mechanism for me too! An uncomfortable situation, a boring situation...it didn't take much. Good for you for recognizing what was happening. You didn't cave. You probably wouldn't have, but the temptation was there. Right now I prefer quieter times. Sometimes dart night can be a bit overwhelming for me. I actually had two Friday nights in the past 2 months that I didn't go. From a non smoking point of view, I just didn't feel up to it. We learn as we go. Keep that great quit going strong, girl!

Windy, It sounds like you learned a lot from this experience. Instead of joining the smokers why don't you focus on joining non-smokers. Replace the old habit with a new one. Thanks for sharing. Danielle _______________________ The SSC Support Team

Windy, Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations on not caving to the craving. I can relate to your situation as I frequently used smokes to get away from "uncomfortable" situations. You are an inspiration and a constant reminder that we can never let our guard down!

For the most part, cravings are getting milder and farther in between but last night I got hit by a big one. I went to a dance where most of the people were having a romping good time. It was rowdy and loud with lots of intoxicated people. I was sober, I didn't know very many people and I felt out of place. My friend asked if I was smoking as she was going out for a butt. I told her I wasn't smoking and she went out by herself BUT I really wanted to go out. I think I liked the part about smoking where I could escape a situation where I felt out of place, spend sometime chatting with a "fellow smoker", and have some quiet time. This quit has been getting stronger each day....but I realize that I really need to get ready for the busy social activities of the summer. Cigarettes will be far too accessible at times when I have the urge. In all honesty, I don't think that I was really a party girl. I think that I made myself "think" that I enjoyed loud, boisterous parties by drinking and smoking cigarettes. Now that I'm older, I need a new escape mechanism!
