June 21, 201412 yr So, there is a lot of discussion about triggers, or things that remind you of smoking. But there are also not smoking triggers. When I quit smoking, one of the first things I bought for myself as a reward (huge sale was going on, matter of fact Babs I think I was talking to you in chat when I was shopping online for this) was B&BW 'Venice Dolce Berry.' The scent now reminds me of hope (hope for the hopeless - me). I always thought that I was just one of those people that couldn't get away from it. I thought I was destined to die a horrible smoking related death. Once I got it through my thick skull that pretty much everyone who uses nicotine gets addicted - and it wasn't just that I had an addictive personality - I started to let go of the bad stuff and put my obsession with smoking behind me.
June 21, 201412 yr love it! Yes...we were in chat and you were giving me Bath and Body works tips and what was on sale. :) You rock girl :) xoxoxoxo
June 21, 201412 yr It's amazing the amount of us who said we had "addictive personalities" rather than we were effectively addicted to one drug. Crazy. Love the going out smelling of hope :) xx
June 23, 201412 yr I thought your scent was bakon cooking... now I got to go find that smell to see what it is...
June 23, 201412 yr I did too. I thought I was never going to quit. I also felt like I was never going to grow old, or get sick, and that I would remain invincible. I was sooo mad when I ended up in the cardiac unit of the hospital! It ruined this perception! Quitting smoking is my way of fighting back.
