This is a big deal to me!


Recommended Posts

So, hubby is 2 weeks analog free now. I'm 17 days. We went to his moms house for the "snow storm" (we never stay at home where we don't have a generator when there's bad weather coming), and I smelled her cigarettes.

Yuck. We were tempted to smoke, just out of habit more than anything. But we didn't.

Then, we came home and I decided it was time to get rid of our commercial sized ashtray. So we gave it away.

Then I went to our neighbors house to check on her (she's in her 70s or 80s) and I couldn't go in. As soon as she opened the door, the smell hit me. It was almost like the air was so thick with smoke, I couldn't force myself into her house if I wanted to.

I know that sounds cold, but I really couldn't. It felt like there was a force field, one that I couldn't seem to get through. Kinda like the character "glitch" on Wreck It Ralph---the one who can't leave her game? (3 year old loves that movie) Yeah, I kinda felt like that. Like, I would magically bounce away from the door if I tried to enter.

I give you credit for protecting you new lifestyle, but at the same time you didn't mention how your neighbor was in your post. I'm not sure a life or death situation compares to what we go through on our journey to a tobacco free life. I' m both happy to hear your're vapeing to get healthy, and hope that your neighbor is ok as well.

Oh, she's fine! I wouldn't be on here if she wasn't! She's like family to us, and if something happened to her, the last place I would be is on a forum talking about the smell of cigarette smoke. She's a tough cookie, doesn't like anyone helping her, and won't ask for a damn thing. :) I just wanted to make sure she didn't need a ride anywhere (there was still ice on her car and none on ours...ice was too thick for me to break up). Other neighbors check on her when we aren't home.
