Yummmmm

@Genecanuck You're losing nothing & gaining everything!

Nope!

NOPE!

You've got great advice already @Genecanuck! I don't have much to add other than to repeat that this is YOUR quit and what others do is none of your concern. That's up to them to figure out on their own. You do only You! You know it's odd the way I reacted to other smokers when I was quitting. I did start to notice their smoker's stank as my sense of smell improved but their stank didn't bother me as much then as it did a couple years later after I'd quit. Now, it almost makes me gag if someone walks close to me after just having had a smoke - OMG The other thing that cracks me up now is when smokers say; "Oh, I'm a closet or secret smoker". My partner or work associates don't know I smoke . Yeah, right! Even if you bath, suck a mint, put on fresh clothes, people close to you KNOW! It's seeps from the pours in your skin. Your fingers (at least a few of them) take on a slight yellowish look. They only say that because they're sniffers are completely absent when it comes to smelling smoke. As others have said, I was shocked when I realized how badly I must have smelled to others I was around when I smoked - I was actually embarrassed . You're doing GREAT Gene! Keep it up no matter what. Don't let the actions of others sway you from your appointed goal - life long freedom from smoking

Hi @Genecanuck again, I am not lecturing you, but my number 1 advice I give to new quitters and people who are quitting more than once. Gene, come on here Every day and do the NOPE pledge! It helps me so much because it keeps me focused. It doesn't take much time to do the NOPE pledge, maybe 5 mins, if that much!! I truly believe that is what has helped me for the past 2 years. Just a piece of advice Gene! All the best to you! Have a great weekend!
