Well...I would not recommend this to everyone because I know that mixing alcohol and cigarettes does not mix. However, I did manage have a great night of drinking wine and socializing with my sister-in-laws.
I told them all at the beginning of the night that I had quit smoking and that I might have to go to bed early. At supper, I had one glass of red wine. When I decided to have a second glass, I told them that they had to hold me back if I even thought about smoking. Well...after my 3rd glass, I thought about it, but did not have a mad craving to run out and smoke one. (And the smokers were just out the door only afew yards away)
However, I know that I could NOT have done this with a different group of people and I DEFINATELY could not have done it with smokers.
This post is not in any way encouraging people to try mixing alcohol with their quit. (With a different set of people, I would never have taken this risk) However, last night did help me realize that there is life after quitting!
