Well, This weekend my husband and I went to one of his work x-mas parties. Typical food, drink and social fest. It was a lot of fun, but I think if I had been around any smokers that night I may have slipped. Alcohol is a huge trigger for my smoking. I rarely drink, but when I do it's like the two just naturally go hand and hand. Thank goodness I was surrounded by non smoking friends, otherwise I know would've smoked. I'm so glad I didn't though, because I would've kicked myself in the morning for breaking my non-smoking streak! I last smoked on Oct 31st, so I've got 41 days under my belt so far. I've had success with the patch, some days I even forget to put it on but I still manage to make it through the day. I know not to be over confident though, nicotine is scary it's so powerful...
