Help! Willpower is running out

[Kitten]

I quit smoking a good few months ago, and I never touched one for at least 5 months. I then moved on to having 1 whilst out drinking, which over the weeks turned into 5 on a night out, which has then developed into half a box in the evening. I decided to just say I smoke when I drink, but the problem now is that I look forward to drinking because I get to smoke! This is disastrous!

I now find myself in the middle of the day at work, thinking about making plans so I don't have to feel guilty about the box of smokes I buy on my way out. Has anyone experienced this? and what advice can you give me on going out, having a good time without smoking? thanks. Any possible help is appreciated!

Are there any kind of support groups for this? seriously.

You gave up for 5 months and then started again ....... *shakes head* Willpower isn't running out, it has already run out. There is no middle ground, you smoke or you don't smoke .... make ze choice and stick with it.

Kitten smoking once a week will be smoking full time in a matter of months.

Cut out cigi's or start smoking again because do you want to spend the rest of your life craving

You either smoke or you don't.

To be honest, I also fell apart again after 2 weeks.

*I could hit myself*

Same here Told myself only when having a few drinks. That became one in the morning, then a couple during the day. You know the story.

I never smoked, but I hear the best way to stop smoking is to smoke less and less cigis every day. Sya you used to smoke 20 a day, smoke 19 the next day, the 18, 17, 16..... until you don't smoke any more.

What I say to everyone that smoke is that "You don't love yourself if you smoke...(or drink a lot)"
Stop damaging your lungs ppl!

If it was this easy nobody would smoke....

I'm mila and have been smoke free for 124 days, it stinks and when we go to people that does smoke i have a headache after 2 hours and feel like puking.

I wouldn't say puking but it does irritate yes
I've stopped know for 4 months ( don't count the day's anymore as i have done this stopping smoking 5 times in my life everytime for +- 6 months ).

The thing with smoking is like most of the guys in this thread said " you smoke or you don't " there is no such thing as a occasional smoker you will go mad with the cravings if you do ( cravings = moodswings i think ).

So Kitten if you decided not to smoke it means no more smokes while drinking
Well on the bright side if you are like me and sometimes likes to get smashed with booz you will probably notice you can actually outdrink all the smokers

Yea people tell me it's loose draw but i have always said loose straw, noobody has ever corrected in 10 year aparts from 2 weeks and now you hahaha, google here i come

Killing the Ozone with cigi's, your going to blame cigi's for killing the ozone when a coal plant in this country produces more smoke in one week than the entire world population of smokers produce in a year. Go and research china and India and come tell me people who smoke are damaging the planet. Spiderz i hope when your driving to work and back everyday you know that your car is doing more damage to the planet in one week than my enter life of smoking would do. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

If people smoke outside away form their pets then they dont.
Besides farting depletes the ozone too so everyone is doing it
