I gave my husband concert tickets for Christmas and the concert is tonight. He’s so excited and I’m just… not. And that sucks..
I’m on day 12 and have been able to avoid most situations with alcohol aside from one drink here or there. This will be the first big test with drinking involved and I’m so nervous. We are also doing dinner with new friends beforehand to make it worse.
Some of the reasons I am quitting is so that I can be free from the shame and embarrassment of smoking in situations like this. So i can dance and sing without losing my breath. So I can lean in close when somewhere loud (like this concert) and yell to a friend without worrying about my breath smelling like cigarettes. Tonight is a perfect example of why I want to quit and yet I am still nervous! But to be honest I feel better and stronger just writing this out and knowing that you all understand. Thanks for being there
