Major Exam- Passed

I had a big test last night. Went to a friend's house. Lots of drinking. I participated my fair share. He pulls out a box that has a beautiful assortment of expensive cigars. Maybe two dozen from all over the world. Then another couple shows up and she has "quit" smoking for two weeks. But she has a fresh fat pack in her hand. "I am partying tonite" so it does not count, she said. (She is not an EX). So I partied.

I went into the garage (smoking den). I visited. I watched the cigars get lit and the cigarettes get smoked and politely declined when offered either. I did not really want either. So on this particular test, I got 100. I was perfect and it was because I was prepared with the knowledge and experience from the EX. I see some of my friends here make poor choices and I was not going to let that happen. I knew that before I went to the party but it is one thing to have your mind right and another to have cigarettes and cigars laid out in front of you after some cocktails...I would not recommend this but I had to take the test and I am pleased to say it was an A+. 48 days and going strong. NOPE.

That AWESOME, Lee!!  SO PROUD OF YOU!!

Drinking is a challenge for me..... I do feel cravings when I drink, but that had lessened with time.  Now i am staying away from the drinking until I feel I  am in better control of my craves.  Like this.........

Wow. No, I wouldn't want to be in that situation at all. Not yet (I'm at 73days).

So glad to hear that you were prepared, and you did it. Each time we get through a tough time is cause to celebrate, and you certainly did get an A+ !

good job!

i went to a gun shop last week and it was closed so we just decided to walk down the block and look at the businesses.

we happened to walk into a cigar shop/smoking den

there were 10 people in there smoking and the air was very thick.

Wow Lee you must have felt so good this morning!!! 

Sounds like NYE for me. I had relapsed only a few days before so NYE was the test. You know... oh I smoked a few days ago what will it matter if I smoke tonight? Um... EVERYTHING.

There were people smoking all over the place. But like you I partied instead. Without smoking.

So happy for you and your 48 days!!!!

You got this.

Hooray, Lee! That's awesome!!!

I know I have to watch when I drink, because the only times I've blown one of my (serial) quits this late in the game is when I've been drinking...but smokers make me kind of sad these days. A+++++++++++++++++ (like the Christmas Story)
