One excuse after another....we have all done it so many times, lurking in and out of these rooms may make you feel better or may help you relize how much of a looser you look like. It has to do with your will power. Either you can control yourself and your desires, or you can't.
No body in here cares if your date is hot or not. The one thing you need to learn is that you will be dealing with triggers. So knowing that you have this "hot" date, that is exciting and so exciting when you start figuring out what to do on this "hot" date you just have to relax those nerves, so you put in a dip or have a smoke right? It really does not matter what the future holds, Live for this day...you have to learn to fight through these triggers.
You can wait until there is absolutly nothing going on in your life to quit. You may have that type of time to wait until there is no anxiety-excitment-fear-sadness-etc...as for the rest of us here, we have made the decision to learn how to cope with these feelings without reaching for the can or grabbing for the smokes. Talking about this just pisses me off! Tell you what, you want advise or encourgment....your gonna get it and find it here, but you have to quit first. None of us can make you, but can support you when YOU decide to QUIT.
There is no cutting back, Give it up Today if you have not already!
