As i was walking to the tube this evening, i found myself staring at people who smoked, and for the first time had a moment when i saw myself as a non-smoker as opposed to being an ex-smoker. The difference for me is that i felt a little bit disgusted with the habit and the smell of it where previously there was a more positive feeling, like "looking at a good friend" type of feeling.
There was still the presence of a craving, make no mistake, but it felt very empowering. There is just not one good reason to smoke.
Here is hoping i have turned another corner, and things will get easier.
I hope you all are hanging in there and enjoying your non-smoking status!
Arhhh Fantastic tictac, it feels good yeah. You are doing great. I like to look out my office at work and watch them standing there freezing in the rain trying to light up. I think glad I don't have to go out there. Had staff training today and when it came to a break, I could tell the ones who had been out for a smoke as they stank of tobacco. That was me once I thought , silently sniggering to myself. Looks like your coming out the other side yeahhh don't get me wrong the urge still pops it's ugly head now and again, but it is getting better stay strong your doing FAB x
Totally agree maddy, it's great during a break when you can relax with a cuppa whilst the smokers leg it to try and cram in two before coming back stinking 😊🚭🚭🚭🚭🚭🚭
Yep it's a great feeling tictac when ya turn that corner, well done I'm delighted that you have. onwards and upwards and keep moving forward you lovely non smoker🚭👍🏼😊
