Thanks for the comments guys - I've really been encouraged by reading all your stories and threads.
Far and away, my worst trigger and the reason for every past relapse has been drinking. As soon as I go out with the boys and have a drink it is a major trigger AND the alcohol reduces my willpower and that's it, it's over. Knowing this, I have been dreading last night since the moment I decided to quit. I had a club meeting that I had to attend as I am the chairman of the club. We normally have quite a few beers during the meeting and I smoke way too much as well. For the last 2 days I have been dreading this, knowing the challenge I will face. So, I told the guys that I can't quit if I'm drinking, so I won't drink. Even though everyone was smoking (I'm now the only non-smoker), I was fine and I even realised that smokers really stink! I was so proud of myself that I woke my wife when I got home, just to tell her that I didn't smoke!!
I have decided that I won't drink for 30 days at least, just to give myself a better chance. I have a Halloween party this weekend as well as a huge sporting event in which my team is in the final. I will be going to the game and there will be free beers, but I’ll be strong. No booze will really help with not smoking.
Three days, 20 hours, 29 minutes and 52 seconds. 96 cigarettes not smoked, saving R 137.28. Life saved: 8 hours, 0 minutes.
Cheers
Chris
