Making a very long story short. Spent time around several smokers this weekend. Went fishing with one on Saturday and helped them pack Sunday. Another stopped by for a visit on Sunday. I am okay. Still smoke free. I had forgotten about the very few associates that smoke. When I was smoking it seemed that I was the only one. I should not be suprised of their mentality. "If I quit, their smoking should not bother me." I recanted what if I was a heroin or crack addict would that still apply. Tried to educate about all the toxins in a cigarette and nicotine addiction. I know it is up to an individual so I did not brow beat anybody. No I did not want to smoke. Watching one blow smoke was a reminder how stupid I use to feel when I smoked. At one point a cigarette pack was lying in front of me. Oh my ! I thought of it as a snake and got away from it very quickly.
Even though I did not smoke, I believe that there is some residual affect on the brain after being around them. Yes I live in a world where people smoke. I can not allow that to bother me but I can be more careful about who I associate with. Back to avoiding smokers as much as possible because I am a nicotine addict. Another day smoke free and back to one day at a time. 134 DOF Onward upward !
NOPE.
Not in my hand, not on my lips, not on my tongue, not in my lungs, not in my nose,not in my clothes.
