I want a glass of wine!

I love being outside in nice weather and for years part of the fun in that was porch or deck drinking.  ( and smoking).   I haven't had a drink because I am scared I'll make a dumb decision and smoke. I don't have any cigarettes in the house, but I have 2 neighbors who would be happy to provide if I said I needed one. (Eek.) I really want a glass of wine right now.  The workday is over. My head is killing me. Wine sounds ah-mazing.   I don't think 1 glass would make me want to smoke, but maybe it would, so I won't do it. I will take my dog on a walk instead. Make some iced tea. Listen to music. Read. Enjoy the weather on the deck without wine.

Hi! I started smoking when I was in Italy in 2003. Everyone was doing it, and it made me feel so cool. I've quit numerous times but never for long. This time is it. I want it to be. I am so over it. I want to respect my body, I want a strong immune system, I don't want to waste time smoking, I don't like the extra stress smoking makes me feel, I don't want to smell, and I'm tired of hiding that dirty habit from so many people. I'm 3 weeks without a cigarette today (5/27/20), and I'm so proud of myself. I wanted a resource I can rely on when I have tough days and temptations, and for sources to continuously educate myself on the health benefits of quitting for reassurance.
