Hi! I stopped smoking the first of January. Already had a minor slip on the 16th, 2 days ago. Made a meal for my birthday. 6 smokers, my friends around the table. Still, I was so convinced about my quit that I thought everything would be all right and my friends should be able to smoke if they felt like it. After having heard my best friend actually couldn't come 30 mn before everybody arrives and Then, I saw another of my friends, who I thought quitted with me the 1st, starting by taking a cigarette, apparently, a special one for my birthday... all right. And then, later on, getting one from a pack he had in the pocket of his jacket...me realizing I was maybe not in the best of mood for this meal, I started thinking, oups... I may have been a little bit carried away with this meal, just 2 weeks after I quit.
We ate, my friends smoked, a lot. Started to become blue around me. I still wasn't feeling like a cigarette so much. Everything was just ok. Good wine and so on. And then, I smoked one. It wasn't so much a craving than curiosity...(?) And a bit later, I smoked another one... I didn't enjoy any of them. I didn't see the point of smoking them either but this is what happened. That was 2 days ago. I havn't smoked since these 2 cigarettes. Just remember it really gave me the creep, once in my bed, to think I was back in my smoking pattern. I just couldn't sleep anymore. It seems to be ok, now. I am back with my quit. I enjoy being smoke free very very much and I hope this was really a minor, minor slip.
