I liked stingers with my cigarettes. (the bartender counted 22 one night-I wasn't much of a drinker)

I think now I may have one margarita a year.

ps> a stinger is brandy and white creme de menthe. I was a singer and it soothed my throat.

Did you have a favorite alcoholic drink when you were out as a smoker?

(I normally don't post pictures of myself but I'm making an exception for halloween. Have a happy one by the way)

PS If you drink and then smoke this weekend you'll have me to answer to! LOL

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
