It still bothers me to see someone smoking and especially very young people. They know better! Thank God our granddaughters never became addicted. Don't think I could have handled that.

My son caught me staring at these two people having a smoke outside the coffee shop. We were getting into my car and I looked back. I said to my son "Look at those guys smoking," and the first thing that came to my head was, "I want a smoke right now." I said it out loud without meaning to and my son said, "No you don't mom, stop looking!" I have been and continue to "romance the smoke"---I found this in a post from Kevin a ways back---brilliant!---I am romancing the smoke when I stop to stare---I could never really pinpoint what I was feeling at that moment, but now, it makes sense---recogizing what i'm doing right now and pinpointing what I'm feeling when I do it makes resisting more manageable. Hopefully this all makes sense. Lulu

Great job recognizing your feelings, Lulubella. And thank that wonderful son of yours for being ever watchful.

that's the way to do it, lulu - being aware of what's going keeps you from going on autopilot - good job! Smile
