March 15, 20233 yr I wonder how often I would remember that I used to smoke if I were not reminding myself every morning in order to pledge NOPE? This morning I came across this gif, and it's going to come in handy as a visual when I want to forget things like seeing a piece of chocolate cream pie in the deli at work. (I work in an organic grocery store with a superb deli and bakery.) Thought I'd share it...if you are new to quitting, if seeing someone light up causes the desire to do the same... "just look here"
March 15, 20233 yr Hi @Kate18! Your post made me laugh and gave me hope. While I haven’t had a day that I haven’t thought about smoking, years ago while me and hubby watched men in black I had a thought of wow, wouldn’t this thing be a lifesaver, literally, in helping a smoker become a nonsmoker (ideally me and my dad who was a heavy smoker, he passed in dec 2021 and miss him dearly…he was the kindest and best man, and daddy, ever). I hope and am looking forward to a day when remembering I smoked, or a cig itself for that matter, is a fleeting thought.
March 15, 20233 yr I appreciate so much what I’m learning from you all and for the interactions and laughs ❤️
March 15, 20233 yr A thought ... Im here everyday talking about smoking.. Do i ever feel like lighting up.. Never ..that speaks volumes ..!!
March 16, 20233 yr I don't forget I used to smoke but I rarely think about smoking ever again. Plus, I rarely have any cravings to smoke at all.
March 19, 20233 yr Haha it would be nice to just blitz it away, right? I actually do sometimes forget I ever smoked. Then I realize I did and think, wow, I'm over the 3 years clean woohoo! Other times I get a quick crave, and I marvel at it as it passes from one brain cell to another and then disappears!
