HeLP PLZ I NEED IT

"I was just out with my friend, and we bumped into one of our other friends who had a bunch of cigarettes. For context, I had a really bad drug addiction before, like when I was 13. I know, young, but I didn’t have good influences at the time. I’ve been working on myself for like three years, trying to stay away from it, and I haven’t done drugs in a year. I also quit smoking three months ago, and I thought I wasn’t addicted anymore. But today, I don’t know... The guy was really nice, but I got triggered by all their smoking and the offering. I just kept trying to reach for some, and my friend, who helped me get out of the addiction, was there too. She had to stop me from having one or even stealing one, like multiple times. We had to leave early because of it.
I thought I wasn’t addicted anymore, but clearly, I still am. If my friend hadn’t been there, I probably would’ve done it. Now I’m worried I won’t get out of this. Please, please help. I’m literally shaking and crying while writing this because I don’t know what I’m going to do. Will I ever be able to live normally?

You will be able to live normally- it’s not been a lot of time since you stopped so it’ll be hard. It might be difficult for you, but aiding spending time with people who smoke, or asking them not to smoke in front of you, might be best for now. It’ll be difficult to move on if you’re constantly around it.
