October 22, 20196 yr Got rear ended in traffic today. Quite an impact. Got checked out at the local hospital and stepped outside to take a bit of fresh air and appreciate my continued existence. Smokers were outside smoking and it would have been no effort to ask for one. Just to calm the nerves that were all a jingle. I talked myself out of it. Celebrating my fortune by poisoning myself seemed like spitting in lady luck's eye. So yeah, we still get close calls and fender bender after we quit smoking. Such are the vagaries of chance that are outside my control. What's not chance is the decision not to smoke. This is something I can control. *NOPE*

Glad you aren't seriously injured or seriously injuring yourself by smoking. NOPE
October 22, 20196 yr So glad you weren't badly injured Sirius. And thank you for reminding everyone that bad things happen and we get through them smoke free just like never smokers do
October 23, 20196 yr So glad you weren't seriously hurt! I would have been triggered by that. Car accidents (or any car trouble in general) trigger my anxiety so badly. Your post is an excellent reminder that we are in control of our choice whether or not to smoke, even during triggering events like these!
October 24, 20196 yr Author 292,000 miles (470,000 Km) and I think my poor Honda Fit '07 is going to be "totaled" by the insurer. 😰

I was sick about it, it still smelled like new car. Insurance didn't give me anywhere near enough to replace it. I'm just glad the girl who t boned it had insurance!
October 26, 20196 yr Glad you ok .S !!!! Very happy you kept your fabulous quit ...smoking wouldn't have changed anything ...only made it worse ..
