[quote] I think that not drinking for a while may just have to be one of those things you commit to until you have your smoking quit under your breath. [/quote] Should read Belt... Soz..

Hi all non smokers - from London

Shaila Congratulations on making the decision to quit... I too tried to quit many times before I was pointed in the direction of this website... I am working on my final quit at the moment and because of the support that I have received on this site I have found it to be the easiest quit experience I have ever had... The support network here is amazing. If you have any worries or if you need a rant just come on here and post like crazy... Someone will always have time to post you a reply, give you some advice or just listen to what you want to say... Use the tools on the left, they are invaluable... Keep a journal of your progress... I have a livejournal that I update every morning with details of how my previous day was and how I am coping... Even if you just get a jotter or notebook and write any feelings/thoughts you have in there it is great to look back on... Also, many of the other members on here have posted some very inspirational messages... When you find one, print it off and put it in your journal.. I keep mine in a quit folder, full of all my targets, treats, and inspirations.. Also, remember your reward system.. Reward yourself at the end of every day you complete, at the end of the week have a bigger reward and at the end of the month one that is bigger than that... Make the most of it... Good luck with your quit, remember that we are only a post away if you need to talk to anyone.. Krissie

How do you know??

Hey guys, Was chatting to PrincessC this evening (ok evening my time but breakfast hers) and I was bemoaning the fact that it's a friday night and instead of being out on the town with friends I am sitting at home. The reason for this is that I am afraid to jeopardise my quit... Now in Scotland smoking has been banned in all public places so I could go out and not be choked by the smoke... But my best friend is a heavy smoker and she doesn't quite know that I have quit yet... I know I could say no to her in my house but there is something social about having a ciggie on a night out... So what I would like to know from fellow quitters is this.... When do you know that you can go out for a night on the town without having your quit threatened?? Experiences and opinions please..
