How interesting that most of us got this question wrong and perceived it with reference to Covid. Maki and Sootie picked up on the true intent of the question!
To answer with reference to quitting - I wasn't concerned about going out. I think because I had made an agreement with myself not to smoke for 40 days. Period. When I make a commitment it's final, I honor it whether I enjoy it or not. I keep my promises, whether they're to me or to someone else. I will say, however, that I hadn't really thought about what might be ahead as far as triggers and how to deal with them. I hadn't joined a quit site until a while after I quit, as I recall. So it was a shock when I saw a butt on the ground and was totally triggered into a massive craving. I think if you are educated about what to expect along this journey it will help protect you against relapses. Because you can plan for certain things. It's the unexpected that really knocks you for a loop. But if you're firm in your commitment, in your resolve, firm in the NOPE "no matter what" thinking, you will be fine. You just have to accept and agree with the choice you've made and negate any possibility of smoking. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/thread/1863-the-possibility-door
