OK. So I'm now 440 days into my quit.

 

We've had a decorator in for the past few days repainting the kitchen, stairs, etc. He smokes. I've had chats with him outside when he's having a smoke break. No big deal.

 

Anyway, I got home last night and noticed he'd left his cigarettes on the counter... I had one hell of an urge to have one!

 

Obviously I didn't.

 

But ya know... annoying!

PS smokers love a relapser - it makes them feel less guilty - I cant imagine he left them there by accident surely - when I was a smoker it was smokes - check, lighter - check, car keys - check

 

soak them in white spirit!

still douse them in white spirit or paint them - you will feel better :)

Not smoking them made me feel perfectly fine. It's not good business to be an arsehole to someone you leave alone in your house!

out of the blue ones are hard at times.

 

leaving them there, I bet he was looking everywhere on ride home for them

 

buddy was with me drinking other night, outside so smoke wasnt a bother, but I was thinking "if you could have one and they werent bad for you."

 

knew just one would be a pack the next day...

Good work for getting through Rob!

it just proves that we have to stay vigilant and never be complacent!

Although I appreciate the big-up it wasn't that big a deal!

 

Let me describe my internal conversation:

 

"Oooh look, the decorator has left his smokes... quite fancy one of those... don't be silly... OK... It's annoying he left them there... Yes it is... Oooh look, bananas, yummy... quite fancy one of those... don't be silly, you need to have dinner first... grrr... damn bananas"

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
