Woo-hoo Stewbum! Look at those numbers!!! We’ll be toasting your 1yr pretty soon on the Lido Deck!!!

It is no secret here that I was a secret smoker. I had Febreze stashed in my car. Mints, gum, breath strips & sprays spilled out of every pocket of my purse and clothing. My hands aged prematurely from the constant hand washing. You get the picture. When asked for a ride from coworkers, family or friends that didn’t know my dirty secret addiction— extreme panic. I’d make up some excuse why I needed to go alone. Or I’d douse every fiber in my car with Febreze, Lysol, dryer sheets…I’d get the microfiber cloth from my console and wipe everything down- no ashes to be seen! What a stressful nightmare to be asked to give someone a ride!!! What!?!?! Today I worked in the office. A coworker asked for a ride home. I said “Sure!” and continued on with my work. No laps around the block airing out my car, or flooding it with Febreze. Oh sweet smoke-free freedom how I love thee!!! Seven years and counting feels & smells great!! NOPE! L4L

Chiming in to say after 7 years and change in my quit…I refer to those “urges” as “nostalgia”. For me, now in my 50s, I sometimes crave the lifestyle of being in my younger years. Those years included smoking. I hear certain songs…I remember not only cigarettes but cloves. Ack!!! Back then I was naive but smart enough to know better than to smoke but did it anyway. So, I was a closeted smoker. For years… so I thought. I fooled no one - other than myself. Nostalgia is OK. Making it present day reality is not. NOPE! L4L
