I really thought I'd be passed this at this point in my quit but boy today I learned otherwise.
I went to the mall with a friend .. yes, she smokes. Anyway, we walked around gabbing and window shopping and then decided to go for a coffee. Slipped into the coffee shop and ordered the coffee..normal right? Well, she said she was just going to step outside for a quick cig .. she did, she returned and oh my gawd! I didn't really realize how horrible she smelled from one cig! I felt nauseated,,worse than when I had my own slip.
Some time passed and we were heading back to the car and she said she was just going to smoke one cig on the way back to the car. I just couldn't do it.. I told her to walk ahead of me, smoke it and then I'll have to wait a few minutes before sitting with her in the car. I explained in a very tactful way that I just simply couldn't handle the smell of tobacco on her. Thank goodness she's understanding.. I mean I was the one who told her that smoking in front of me - what with being outside and all would be fine. I was so wrong. Maybe one day I'll be able to watch, smell.. but not yet.. maybe never, who knows.
-- just sharing my reactions and how taken aback I was by them.
