Remember my ‘tak nak’ campaign? I started NOT smoking on January 2, a day after coming back from Krabi and so far, it has been quite good. Except for the initial week where all I thought about was smoking, the following weeks have been bearable as the lack of nicotine has been replaced by food (which is another blog post for another day :p).
Except for last night.
I don’t know why but it was just one of those moments where I felt like I needed a cigarette.
I had just finished a looooong day of shooting, I could feel my backpain coming back and my arms were absolutely sore from lugging my heavy gear, I was downloading my pictures and I was craving for a snack. And this was where I first started smoking 13 years back. I guess it was a combination of all that and the fact that my sister was having a smoke which made me go, “Hey can I bum one off ya?”.
She gave me this WTF look before passing me the box. And yes, I took one out and lit it. Funnily enough, I didn’t feel like finishing it after taking a few puffs.
There you go, a confession of sorts.
Oh yeah! I remember my time when I was quitting my smoking habit. :P You’re doing pretty good actually. It’s a good sign that you didn’t really like smoking the whole ciggy anymore. I felt d same too & I continued to be a social smoker (no more than 10 sticks a year) for about 2 years. Then I totally stopped!
But have to admit, sometimes the smell of “2nd hand smoke” is oh so delicious but once I get myself a stick, it sucks!
