So Close to a Cigarette today
Long working day for me on a Thursday, have not thought about smoking at work at all and dont miss it, until today. We have a new Service Control Manager that has started, young 23, adorable, and today he kept disappearing for 5 to 10 mins at a time, yuuup a smoker!! I challenged him today, could smell it all the time, all the receptors pinged in my brain, arggghhh no not now, told him I had stopped over 4 months ago, and his reply "give into the crave," WTF....took out his packet of cigarettes and handed me one. I think I must have been catching flies the way my mouth just fell open, I have not looked at or held a cigarette for so long and here I had one in my hand, just right there, in my hand!! For all of 10 seconds I thought and then calmly said "No you are OK I am a non smoker" and gave it him back, and told him my aim was to get him to see sense and to stop smoking. But for that short space of time, being so close to a cigarette, boy was I tempted.
