Hi All,
Just dropping in to say I'm still keeping my quit and that I got through the rough patch I had a couple of months ago (with starting a second job and feeling like a smoke would ease the stress a bit).
I've come to a place where I can't stand to see smoking. Not on TV in movies on commercials in person. The sight of smoke being inhaled and exhaled repeatedly makes me queezy.
This from a die hard I'll never quit 2 pack a day smoker.
I also promised myself that I would never be a reformed smoker. To be honest, I used to think that ex smokers were putting me on when they would tell me my smoking was offensive and that I should quit - I even thought to myself that they were jealous that I still smoked and thay didn't.
Now here I am, brought to gagging at the sight! I'm keeping my promise to myself though, I simply leave the vicinity. I don't give lectures or insult anyone who is still decieved and held captive by their nicotine addiction.
But!!!
Whenever anyone says anything like 'I wish I could quit.' I'm in there talking up the online support available and if they're receptive to that I mention that there's a helpline they can call if they want and i leave it at that. Man, it's tough to not go on and on. LOL
I'm so happy to see everyone keeping those quits you're all awesome!!!
