Day 10

[Sammy838]

10 days 1 hour and 15 minutes of quit time on my side today 

Yesterday was rough went out forsome lunch at a local pub restaraunt had 2 beers thomas jeffersons home brew repurdused by a micro brew in philly, not bad 

And a yengling good all around beer BUT NOT A GOOD IDEAL WHEN TRYING TO QUIT SMOOKING

After that point I kept reaching looking for my smokes then started getting agitated so had to get out of there and went home jumped in the shower and tried to keep my mind off of it and finally got thru it 

Today is a better day and now I know I have to wait a little bit longer before hanging out at the pubs till I can get a better hold of this quit!

You have learned an important lesson.  It is best to limit yourself to one or two beers when you are quitting smoking.  Alcohol clouds your thinking and, as you have found, makes it more difficult to stick to your decision.

WHEW!

Big congrats on 10 days.   Glad you knew what to do to protect your quit.  Sometimes it can be that simple--just get out of the situation or avoid them for awhile.   Welcome to the Double Digit Club!   Keep moving forward

Congratulations on what is now probably 11 days???  I am glad you learned early and well that drinking does not go well with quitting smoking.  I am a serious lightweight when it comes to alcohol and when I quit smoking, I absolutely avoided any alcohol for six months.  I would probably have gone longer but it was my friend's birthday party.  I came very close to picking up a cigarette that was the same brand I smoked but it wasn't mine.  I had gone onto autopilot after 1 1/2 beers...I apologized and excused myself.  I lost quits in the past after having a couple of beers.  Now, there is no connection any more but I have been quit for over 5 1/2 years.  Proceed with caution and always give yourself an out.

I am very happy that you had the fortitude to not smoke. Alcohol has ruined many a quit.  If you have to smoke if you drink it is best that you don't.  Keep it simple. Congrats on Double Digits
