How i now feel seeing others smoking...

Who is this imposter that has invaded my body?

In one week I have become obsessed with looking at people smoking through my smug, judgemental and disgusted eyes. I find myself giving that "disgusted parent stare" - you know the one that makes any smoker just want another cigarette:D. I tut, i shake my head, i just give "that look" and then i walk away

and think to myself....

boy do i miss that darn smoking:mad: :mad:

Don't really care now when someone else smokes as long as it's away from me :)

ha same here! those looks nearly killed me - as if i didnt carry enough guilt around without other people making me feel EVEN worse (and now im turning into one of them:D)

maybe just a crazy coping mechanism - if i keep telling my brain that smoking is vile and justifies the "stare" then maybe ill just start believing it one day:)

now im feeling guilty for making so many people squirm today especially the hunky van driver who nearly crashed watching my tut tutting head on:p

Earlier on in my quit I made myself hate smoking because up until just before I really enjoyed it and was scared of failing - am not bothered by it now, just don't like the smell!!

It's odd 'cos sometimes i fancy a fag - not a crave though 'cos i don't really get them any more but smelling someone smoking one, or even worse someone who's just had one cures me!!

Don't think "that look" ever made me feel bad - more defiant in a way :p

Lol at you nearly making soeone crash though :eek:

Not what you're looking for?
