Get to Where Not Smoking is Normal for You

Hi everyone,

Just checking in. I've been keeping very busy with my home delivery job. Summer is a busy season for us so working a lot, but very happy to have the work. I Just wanted to share an experience I had the other day. You see, some of our warehouse workers are smokers, and one of them smokes in the trucks. So the other day I opened the door to my truck and BLAM! Heavy smoke stench! But rather than get angry about it, or worse yet, be tempted to smoke, I rolled down the windows to let the truck air out, and walked away laughing. You see, I am no longer tempted to smoke. I am free! I even whispered "I don't do that anymore." This is still a good habit, no matter how long you've been quit. If you are early in your quit and still struggling, keep going, you will get there! If you are a long time quitter like me, keep some of those practices in place that work for you (like saying I don't do that anymore). Life is so much better when you are free!

I quit smoking on March 26th, 2009. I smoked a pack a day for 25 years. I quit because I began having health issues in my early 40's. I had a TIA and a stroke a few years ago. I work as a home delivery salesperson.
