Social smoking

I was always a smoker - then I became a social smoker.... although it was more a “smoke when I have a drink” because there was nothing very social about it really. I hated it as I’d wake up in the morning and instantly regret ot. I’d hate the feeling on my chest and the smell in my hair etc. So I decided to quit it after Christmas. My problem now is that if I have a couple of drinks I start to feel like “hey, it doesn’t matter - just have one” but I do know I’ll regret it. I went out last night and wanted to smoke but thankfully I got talked out of it which I’m really happy about but how do I stay strong after a few drinks? Especially when I’m out with other smokers!!

I'm a social smoker. I'm fine with my arrangement. We only really go out like that once a month so it don't feel too bad about the odd one. As for you,have you tried vapes instead?

I do this. A couple of weeks ago I managed to sit inside with a non smoker whilst the others went out. Can you try this? Also are their other activities you enjoy with your smoker friends?
