Good for you for posting here! That takes strength.

Normally we would encourage member to avoid high trigger situations like this until they are farther along in their quit. So for next time be very cautious.


How are you feeling today? How do you think the night went?

Deb,
Good for you for reaching out and posting instead of reaching out for a cigarette..
Your getting stronger every day and keeping your quit.
This certainly calls for a reward as they say..

The first few cocktail outings can be pretty tedious. It does get less so over time. 
 
Nonetheless, I have found that I'm just not as fond of drinking as I was before I quit smoking. I have come to the conclusion that, for me, much of the buzz was related to the smoking binge and not to the alcohol. ...This is not true for everyone, though. Seems to be a me thing.
