"I once lost a quit just from going to a bar with friends and I didn't even have a drink ! The party atmosphere alone did me in and I lost a 3 month quit ! All of those days all of that work gone for one evening it was not worth the consequences ! Don't pay the piper !
Even worse.... after losing that quit I went 10 years before I even was willing to try again !"
Your quit needs to remain your #1 priority! Why chance this?
You are absolutely right Nancy, I lost a few quits due to alcohol and went at least a decade before trying again and lost another quit due to one too many drinks and went another decade but thankfully I quit drinking so my quit is safe from alcohol , please don't chance it i like this saying which is so true. ((( I do not think that I should drink, for if I drink, I do not think.))) Protect your quit with your life because your life literally depends on remaining smoke Free.
Amen....I gave up all alcohol when I quit. I stayed away from it for about a year and a half because whenever I drank , even just one drink, I would want to smoke.
Now I can enjoy a cocktail and smoking never even crosses my mind. But I made the decision I would take ALL measures to to protect my quit. Avoiding all alcohol was one of them. I also avoided any atmosphere where smoking was around me and friends that smoked. They were understanding and a couple even quit with me:)
