When I was out with friends and one of them did not smoke. I would never leave them sitting alone to go out and have a cigarette. Yes the urge is strong but you must choose which is more important, your friend or having a cigarette. I will pick my non-smoking friends every time. There is a big plus to having non-smoking friends — you don’t want to leave them alone so you smoke less when you are with them and around them.
This journey in quitting has it good weeks and bad weeks, but I refuse to stop trying this time. I will keep trying until it works. I figure as long as I am trying to quit something will have to work at some point and it will happen. Thank you, PetMom1 for being one of my cheerleaders, it means the world to me.
