Now that my sense of smell has finally returned, it's amazing how certain things around here smell like smoke which I never even noticed before.  Had to sift through some recycling/shredding that's been accumulating for the past few years and what a smell.  The very first thing I did when I quit was take down the curtains and put up freshly washed.  Then washed the windows watching the yellow streaks flowing down, ewwww.  Then washed the ceiling fans.  Even now every once in a while I'll smell smoke.  When my daughter and her fiance come in, that's the first thing I smell.  They went out to eat one day and came into my office to say hello.  The first thing I said was you must have had shrimp for lunch.  Never in a million years would I have smelled that before.  My other daughter is also a former smoker, ex-smoker, whatever, and she comments how nice it is not to smell the smoke anymore. It's reassuring to know my body is healing itself........ It's just a plain 'ole rejuvenatin' experience !!!!!

Never be afraid or embarrassed about your "smoking thoughts" while quitting, they're there to remind us how strong we truly can be. Always remember, you will always WANT to smoke, but you have to CHOOSE not to. We can't break the ties that bind us without first changing the cycle that created it.
