Ach no, Kris, you didn't preach - you're practicing for old, wild age - may it take you very long to reach it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
I understand a bit about the mental addiction to smoking - as I experienced this myself in my 2 non-smoking yrs. The physical one was easy to overcome in my case - as I did that in anger (those damn white sticks aren't ging to force me to take up smoking again) - but I gave in to the mental whisper (come on, just one - won't hurt you).
Nose => true, I smelled a lot more in that time and smoke nauseated me for a while (if the whisper wasn't there).
I guess my personal reasons weren't strong enough to convince this whisper. The first time I stopped because I saved for new bathroom tiles - that was ok, but after I had bought them and enjoyed the new bath - this reason (antidote) had overlived itself.
The 2nd time => a terrible cough, I had to stop, smoking was no fun. That time I recalled I thought => hey, you'll make it. Errhm, I was a happy single at that time - until I met my bf, a non-smoker. And his constant raving against smokers aggravated me so much.... I retarded and went into the anger state of a 3-yr-old (obstinancy?) He was a nice guy, really. Just very decisive if he disapproved of something <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Be proud that you made it - and go on encouraging. Maybe I'll find a reason one day myself to overcome that whisper.
