Alcohol and quitting

Here's something that happened to me at about 1 month into my quit:
I used to go to a Cheers type place after work (it closed a couple of years ago, and the gang split up). OMG I just remembered - one of the regulars was Geoffrey Bible - we used to speak whenever he was in town - he SEEMED to be a sweet guy lol.
Anyway, I was visited at home by one of the old regulars (first time seeing him since my quit) . We had cocktails (yeah okay, several), he's still a heavy smoker. At one point, he was fixing a computer problem for me, we were animatedly discussing the problem, and as I was looking over his shoulder at the computer, his cigarette smoke came wafting up at me and man oh man at that moment I actually experienced what people feel just as they throw away their quit. It was a crystal clear moment. But what was equally crystal clear was my total recall of everything that I had learned from this site. Of course I didn't smoke. That's it.
Thanks, Mary
