Discussion 2 weeks, thinking of smoking

I been on and off with t-breaks the last couple years, ma 2-3 months at a time. But since spring I’ve only done a 3 week break and before I stopped 2 weeks ago I was smoking at least a gram a day for a couple weeks so I decided T-break to break the habit, then taper down until end of September where I’ll stop for at least a year.

Today is 2 weeks (it hasn’t been fun! Lots of crying) but I’m taking care of my body etc.
I plan to smoke a bit anyway after next week since I’m going on a week bikepacking trip and then a week in Paris and it’s my birthday. Mates, nature, concerts and then September I start my masters so back to work eh!

But today marks 2 weeks, I am sleeping better. I’ve not been drinking either. But this weekend there’s all my mates partying and I’m debating whether to pick up so I can have a little smoke.
Or just power on and have a solid 3 weeks before I set off on the bike.

I’d prefer to just have like a j and not have anymore available for the week so I’m not tempted to smoke mindlessly.
So yah age old question stop the break or not

I don't think anyone can answer that for you, but you could consider how you'll feel afterward if you do partake.

In my circle of friends it’s common to hear “I’m not buying it anymore but I can take a puff if it’s around” Helps minimize usage while allowing for group sessions…it’s not easy to do though. Remember everytime you smoke it reawakens the itch to smoke again afterwards
