I saw an old friend today. We have always been smoking buddies. She has quit & I have quit previously, just not at the same time. She smokes my brand. She had been out of cigs for a while & stopped to get some. She got in the car, lit the thing, exhaled in extacy (audible moan), & I got to smell my old friend again. Whoa! My hunny at home smokes but not MY brand, & he tries not to smoke around me.(Isn't that sweet). Point being, I'm around smoking a lot but something about her & MY brand & the sound & the smell.......holy crap! Ding, ding, ding, red light, red light, sirens, sirens. I had to put the skids on that quick. The triggers or cravings or whatever are much fewer now, thank God, but they are WAY stronger & out of the blue. They catch me off guard at times. I told my friend I needed to go home. Maybe I will be stronger next time I see her.
