May 9, 20206 yr Author Midday 18 Tomorrow i've to go to party with smoker friends Gonna be a tough time What to do???
May 9, 20206 yr You don't smoke ! Who is having a party with the lock-down ? Sounds like a bad idea for exposure to virus. You needn't go, right ? or, you needn't go and smoke ! Examine whether you are planning on a relapse, consciously or subconsciously and see this as the excuse. I also, had a fear of being around smokers. It turned out to be bigger in my mind and didn't turn into temptation to smoke at all. I was repulsed. Supremely repulsed and it strengthened my resolve. Your quit must be more important than anything right now. Protect it with your life.
May 9, 20206 yr Just like any other part of your quit. The decisions you make no matter what type of situation you find yourself in still comes down to what is best for you. These are some of the many tough choices you are going to have to make in life. You must choose the right path to walk down when it comes to addiction. Trust me when I say this, that your friends who still smoke are probably envious of your quit. They are also probably happy for you because you chose to quit smoking and have the courage and strength to follow through. If they can't see this as a positive direction for your health that maybe that aren't your friends after all. What this all boils down to is you have to be true to who you are and who you want to be in the future. So, have fun, stay safe and make smart choices.
May 9, 20206 yr Here are some resources, A. Watching Others Smoke Can Second Hand Smoke Cause Relapse
May 9, 20206 yr How are you going to a party during the stay at home orders?! And, use the stay at home orders as your excuse not to have to go and be around other smokers. I stayed close to home my whole first month of two and only ventured out with my never smoker husband because I didn't trust myself not to smoke. If you insist on going, you could wear a facemask. Can't smoke with that on and you'll protect yourself better around other people.
May 9, 20206 yr AK .....got to agree with all here ....wow....this virus stuff is deadly .... This is junkie thinking ....you have to protect your quit .( And you )....no matter what .... This sounds like madness mate ...you should think hard here .... Is it worth risking your life ....smoking and a virus ....wow ..... Unless you can trust yourself 100/% you won't be tempted to smoke ..I would,nt even consider it .....
May 11, 20206 yr I'm a little lost for words here !!!! Normally I would point out ,it's all about making choices ...you either want to be a smoker...or you don't !!! But we are not in normal times ...not only have you kept the addiction alive .which will probably kill you eventually. But you have risked the life of others ,attending a party in the middle of a virus crisis ... When the rules are 2 metres apart .....to save lives .... We ...the train members have supported you ,since you arrived ...you had great information yesterday. You made your choice ...to smoke and party ....
May 11, 20206 yr You planned this relapse, it was clear you were determined to smoke. How do you feel ? Better ? You will continue to fail until you can make an honest commitment to NOPE. Maybe this time, read and absorb the information we gave you. Go back over this thread and learn from your idiocy. Read everything TWICE, a hundred times, until you get it. Put in the work. Nicotine addiction is nothing to be trifled with. It requires your full attention and your stalwart commitment. Then, you will have freedom.
May 11, 20206 yr I'm not going lie. I am some what disappointed in the recent choices you have made. I understand that these are your choices and your life. I don't have any right to tell you what you have to do. The thing is, if you want to kick your addiction to nicotine then you have to really want to succeed. Any form of doubt is going to cause a relapse every time. Commitment, support and hard work are the keys to a good quit. We will support you 100% if quitting is what you really want. I think you need to look deep inside yourself and truly decide if you are ready to quit smoking for good. Always remember, the harder you hold on to an addiction the harder it is to eventually kick the habit.
