You guys are so right...and I do know what the triggers are...It's the combo of socializing, alcohol and nice weather. It's a new season...(once again time to replace smoking memories with non-smoking memories)
For new quitters, it's not actually the intensity of the cravings that is an issue (They do go away)
I think that the problem is that spring is the time to spread my wings and the social activities start popping up. Many social activities involve drinking and, I have to admit, I enjoy afew drinks now and then. The problem is that, when I drink, my judgement is impaired and there is a small part of me that thinks that I could "just have one cigarette"....I would never consider doing this at any other time. I don't want to quit socializing or enjoying a drink with friends (The whole reason I quit was BECAUSE I had become a slave to my addiction and was starting to avoid social activities) However, I have invested so much of myself into this quit. I definately DON'T want to blow it because of a stupid temporary alcohol-induced lapse in judgement....
Time for another learning curve..................
