I was handed a plastic bag containing "Duty Free Cigarettes"✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

My partner and son are back from NYC , they had a great time and I'm happy they are back.

Amongst other things they handed me a bag containing cigarettes and my first reaction was " What have you done guys"?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Followed by their laughter at my angry face .

Apparently a friend asked my partner if he could purchase some for him , so he did.

I wanted to share this especially with the new members , so you can see that eventually you won't be scared of handling cigarettes , however you will not need or want them, hence my reaction.

I was more concerned about the expenditure they made purchasing something I no longer need or want , and it never crossed my mind that the bag belonged to someone else .

My partner reminded me of a time when I used to say that if I ever go to America I will purchase the "Original Marlboro's " /Real American ones , like in the movies!

Hahaha, how disillusioned I was -we were !

"The original American " are on top of our dining table waiting to be passed on to another disillusioned person, and I'm happy I'm not that person anymore.

Like I said above , especially to the new members, don't be scared if it feels like its never ending , cause it's not.

If you stay focused and determined you , too , will feel the same , you , too , will not need or want cigarettes in your life.

Stay on track and keep your eyes on your goal!

Have a great smoke free weekend !

Wishing you all the best xx
