New Smells, Old Smells

I realize now that I have not smoked for 5 months, how great my smeller works!  Yep, My nose knows all kinds of new-ness, and the nasty smell of a person that just comes in after smoking makes me want to gag!  I think about when I smoked and how awful I must have smelled to people.   I literally have to pick myself up and remove myself from being around those people.   Which now makes it harder to sit at a table playing games with family members because they smoke.  I had two smokers at the table this past Saturday evening, and it really made in not so enjoyable for me.  

I love most all of the new smells that I just didn't smell before, because smoking really does cause you not to smell all the good things as clearly as you can when you don't smoke.  I never want to smell like that again, and I know that I won't.

I'm an active 55 year old woman, who loves hanging with my family. I have 5 children 2 of them married, and 4 grand children. They are all my whole world. UPDATE 8/21/23 Now 61 years and have 2 more grandsons to add to the crew! My hobbies are bike riding, golfing, bowling, kayaking, painting (canvas or rocks) and gardening (getting the hang of it finally) I have smoked since I was 13 yrs old, and quit one time within the last ten years for a total of 9 months. Stress took me back to smoking. My life has been stress free for the last couple of years. Divorced for 2 years now, but back together with my Ex (husband) for a year now. It's time, I'm ready, and I quit! So far it's been pretty easy, so I'm very optimistic about this being my final quit! Thanks in advance for all the support! 2023 - Update: I now have 2 more grandbabies for a total of 6 and still smoke free! They will never get to know me as a smoker!!!!!!
