Hello again , breather here. With winter here or on it's way I wanted to talk about things that can send us back to being smokers. If we're newly quit or even if we've stopped for some time we don't need surprises. First of all do you know where your snow shovel is ? It's good to know where it is just in case it's needed. What I'm saying is plan ahead to avoid problems. If you drive a car it's a good time to find out where your ice scraper is or if you still have one ? A good idea would be to have the car checked out to make sure it's charging properly. Maybe the battery isn't what it once was ? You're wondering what this has to do with not smoking ? Everything ! When we have to go to work and the car won't start or we're stuck in the snow it can send us back to being smokers in a heartbeat. Plan ahead to avoid dissapointment and expect the unexpected. Sense of humour a must. Excellent for you for not smoking. breather
