Once on accident. I was chain smoking to numb my pain around then. I figured I wasn't allowed to come under the influence and tried not to smoke before seeing T. One day I had therapy at 9 am so I smoked last at 8 am thinking I'd be "regular" in an hour. I didn't feel high, but as soon as I sat down T looked at me and asked if I was high. I said no then quickly switched to I don't think so. She acknowledged that I didn't feel high, but said my eyes were red and glazed over, and asked when I last smoked. I started to panic that she would kick me out. She calmed me down and said that it would be okay for that day because we hadn't talked about it before. I kinda dissociated but am pretty sure she told me I couldn't smoke before sessions or she wouldn't meet with me. By her definition this was all morning before our 9 am sessions. I was shocked by the strictness because that was a long time for me at the time. I managed to mostly comply (had a few 4 am smokes times).
