April 23, 20242 yr 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!

April 24, 20242 yr So many benefits to quitting. A lot of them we never even thought of when we first started our quits but years later they are the most cherished
April 24, 20242 yr One of the first treats I gave myself (with the money I saved from quitting) was having my car professionally cleaned. The fresh smell helped to re-enforce my quit as I drove to and from work. I could also open my windows without worrying about ashes flying everywhere.
April 24, 20242 yr Gday Thanks for reminding! Now that I think about it my current truck has never been smoked in! Hasnt got an ashtray. Has a phone charger in the cig light slot. And….. it’s perfectly normal. How cool is that!
