Thanks for your reply. No I don't feel hurt by him, its just that its always the same begining and ending that involves him nearly every time. I end up on a session as we have such a great banter with loads of people and I just tend to forget why I am trying to quit or not thinking about this the next morning. He's a good guy just a bad influence and I dont want to blank him as he's the single mate I have and I'll end up lonely and bored which makes me end up back on the drink. I'm kind of shy at first which makes it hard to meet new people aswell.
