What do you think when you see someone smoking?
Tink replied to Stewie's topic in Quit Smoking Discussions
In the beginning I avoided them like the plague as much as I could, not that I hated them, more I was in the abstaining mode and I did not trust myself! :dash2: Then it was disgust at them or even (envy) and if I had to walk past a smoker mainly puffing away to an entrance! I would walk past holding my breath and nose and making myself look silly! go home shower and change clothes, paranoid smoke and nicotine was stuck all over me! :bad: Then I was fascinated by them (I was educated on nicotine addiction by then) so I just watched them from a distance and watched the truth unfolding right in front of me! confirming what I had learned. :ph34r: Then I felt pity for them and wished they could be free and this is what I feel to date. :( I have been through many of these cycles on my journey from envy to disgust to pity and now I am grateful, that I am just a bystander.... stick to NOPE remember why you quit, what your journey has been like and bring your mindset back to pity for them or disgust, its nothing personal to them , they don`t have to know what you are feeling or thinking BUT it is crucial to YOU and your quit and it is very PERSONAL to you. I bet if you had a conversation with any of them, most would change places with you in a heart beat! (the ones not in complete denial of course) so flip the coin and the question should be - what do smokers think when they see an ex smoker? answer- Envy of you and amazement :o hold your head up, back straight as this is the road we walk now!

Hi Tiffany how are you today?
-
just had a massive sort out of clothes and shoes and sent to charity currently down to 8 summer sandals, 1 flip flop, 8 evening shoes (no red soles!), 1 converse, 1 trainer(sneakers), 81/2 pairs of dress boots (i left one in UK ), 5 walking boots & 4 slippers. my shoe collection is quite conservative, I cannot walk in high heels I look like a duck on ice skates! I have a friend who has over 300 pairs of shoes!! it`s a shame she is related to bigfoot or I would have taken advantage of her addiction :wacko2:

I always pay more for my boots then shoes my favourite pair is a pair of navy blue leather boots which I paid probably $300 but that was in the sale, I never pay full price I wait but boots last me years these I have had for over 6 years so I get my monies worth. The most expensive shoes were a pair of colour crystal, heeled slip ons that I brought for a ball I only ever wore them once and I can't give them away as they are too pretty they cost about $280 but I class them as the most expensive due to use value. I love fall as I can wear all my boots :) I also own a pair of $15 flip flops!

being scared of failure, it took over a year to fully accept that this was it, my sticky quit!

Thanks everyone, I can't believe where the time has gone,, honestly in the beginning it seemed time stood still now months blend into years, there were times I never thought it was possible, but here I am at 3 years! How apt is it its thanks giving coming up, as i have so much to be grateful for I am grateful for the forum and all you wonderful members who I see as friends I am grateful you believed in me, when I didn't believe in myself or needed a hug or a kick up the butt! I am grateful that you were on my journey through the good and the bad times of my life in the past three years It's been emotional to say the least!!! I am most grateful to my quit buddy Rez who is now my husband Poor sod, I swear sometimes he wished I was still Mrs potato head :) It really is a case of NOPE How you get there is one step at a time, use the support and advise here and believe in yourself I promise I will try to add more support now my life is put back together xxx
