🍻 For people whose quit falls apart at drinking parties
People who slip at drinking parties aren't weak-willed. The party just quietly lines up every condition for going back to smoking.
For a while after quitting, you were fine.
You didn't smoke in the morning. You didn't smoke between tasks. You got through after meals somehow. You felt, to your own mild surprise, like you were really pulling this quit off.
Then it falls apart on the night of a drinking party.
You didn't set out to smoke. If anything, you think today's fine. Right up until you walk into the place, you probably really do think so. There's someone you haven't seen in a while, there's the first drink, a little laughter, and the work talk starts not to matter. Your body loosens. You get bolder.
