Congrats! You're 3/4 the way to the Lido Deck. Should be pretty calm waters from here on with a few little speed-bumps to watch out for. The really hard work is done - protect that quit!

Actually, when I smoked I could not smell it on me or anyone else just after they'd had a smoke but once I was quit for awhile, it hit me like a brick one day when someone walked by me who had obviously just had a smoke. I was shocked! The stench of stale cigarette smoke was so strong. I remember thinking to myself at that moment; is that what I smelled like to others all the years I smoked? I was embarrassed that I had been so offensive to so many people over the years 😬

Oops; Double post - lol!

Anyone who's a smoker knows ' an addict is an addict' and there's No Way you can be a nicotine addict and then just choose when to smoke and when not to. Nicotine addiction is a seriously strong addiction and once you're hooked - you're hooked. It takes a concentrated effort over a long period of time to reach complete freedom from the clutches of nicotine addiction. And make NO mistake, just because we quit does not mean we are no longer addicts. We can all secure our freedom but we must always remain on guard and never take our achievement for granted! I also laugh to myself when I heard someone say; "I'm a secret smoker. I sneak outside to have a smoke so no one will know." LOL; who you kidding? Non-smokers can always smell stale smoke on someone who's just had one! All the perfume, mouthwash and brushing of teeth can't hide that aroma. It's on your clothes and in your hair! The lies we tell ourselves as practicing nicotine addicts 😏
