The Drinking Trap

Drinking has been the downfall of many an early stage quitter. We become complacent in our quits and forget to keep our guards up. We let our defenses down because the alcohol impairs our mental processes. And we make the ever fatal mistake of thinking, "I'll just have one." And that is the end of this story because we all know what happens next.

So? Don't drink the first couple of months of your quit. Or if you do, take along a friend who will break your arm if you reach for a cigarette. Better yet, take along several friends who will do that. New quits are very fragile things and they must be protected.
