I remember, during second day of my quit, I saw, early morning, a man smoking cigarette, just near coffee shop, and he was looking very sad. I was amazed, as this man I knew for quite sometime, and I saw him very energetic in past days. I noticed that he actually should not have been smoking due to his other illnesses, but he dragged himself to smoking corner just for the sake of it.
While I did not talk to him that day, the picture of he smoking cigarette in the early morning, with sad face, fixed in my mind.
Other instance, I remember, a lady was smoking outside my working place. Good looking, nice attire, decent lady, having in one hand lighted cigarette, and looking at sky empty mind, while smoking like a fool. This scene fixed in my mind again.
One more, saw very young boy in our complex used to smoke at home while studying. While studying is good, smoking in the balcony of house while studying, was not something my mind accepted, and again this scene was fixed in my mind.
During the initial period of cravings, I used to remember these three or four awkward smoking scenes and used to warn myself that, no, I do not want to go into that scene again.
Deep in mind, these scenes were posted in a very orthodox, unwanted type of feelings.
I guess.. though the cravings were strong, such nasty pictures in my mind, helped me from avoiding smoking temptations during my quit.
Just thought, and shared here !
