Think It Can't Happen To You?

Every Friday my friend Youngatheart (Nancy) posts a blog about drinking & what a hazard it is to ones quit. Well let me  tell you. I was just with a couple of friends having a beer. They don't smoke & never have. While drinking my beer & enjoying the company the thought hit me...a cigarette would be good right now. ONE BEER! Now where the hell did that come from. I'm almost at 12 years quit & I have thoughts of smoking while I'm drinking??? I passed it off because I've been practicing NOPE for so long that it's second nature. What about you that only have a few days, weeks or months under your belt? How will you respond to that thought? Drinking WILL inhibit your decision making. Just sayin.

Keep on keepin on,

I began this quit journey on October 1, 2004. I'm not doing it for my wife or children nor in memory of the many family members or friends I have lost due to this addiction. I'm doing it for Mike.
