Crazyavonlady Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishguy1123 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyavonlady Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 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.
