Stress free smoke free freedom

[Lust4Life2016]

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!

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

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.

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!
