So february 12th was my sober date. I went 2 weeks without smoking weed and then reluctantly gave back in..I probably only had a few hits here and there, but still feel bad about it.

However, on a brighter note, I've remained alcohol free still. Almost to day 21. I'm experiencing tons of anxiety, I mean tons. I have no urge to drink at all right now so I'm relieved on that...

dunno, just thought I'd throw that out here since I haven't posted in like 10 days..maybe that had something to do with my slipup? I definitely have no support in real life, at least from people that understand what i'm dealing with.

I say if you are going to join SR, use it.

When you say you reluctantly gave in, were you coerced into smoking? Or did you talk yourself into it?

a long time friend asked and i just kinda gave in. i dont feel wicked bad about it but im convinced its not for me. been a 13 year on and off smoker.

Kinda gave in...I know that ploy. If someone asked me, I might resist once, twice, but I usually caved. Why? Because I wanted to be talked into smoking. It took the accountability away from me, or so I thought.

I found it best to stay away from my post smoking friends when I quit, at least for the first 6 months or so. Tell your friend of your intention to quit smoking and that you'd appreciate it if he didn't smoke in front of you, or offer it to you.

I really had to watch the company I kept Krete.

Sitting around the table or the room, having the bong/blunt passed under your nose, the air literally thick with smoke...it's not a place for someone trying to quit to be.

For any reason.

I was lost even before I took that first toke, y'know?

I guess I'm in between since I am a post reading but not a pot smoking friend . . . :-)
