That was my biggest crutch for a long long time. One of my (many) recent frustrations has been getting into a "women for sobriety" type group where I'll feel comfortable. I have a hard time with smoking - second-hand, the smell of on clothing or people's breath.
I talked to one lady yesterday from a group who was calling me back on her cigarette break and wouldn't let me put her on hold to talk to her more privately (and I'm a receptionist sitting out in the open here). She gave me directions before the end of the day but I talked myself out of going.
I am sober now but really struggle on evenings when I am alone at home. If I go to a mall or something I just feel more isolated. If I get on PB, I am more likely to have a drink at my elbow.
Sigh.
