I’ve been nicotine free for one week. Believe it or not, my main reason for kicking the habit is good skin. Yes, vanity, not fear of cancer, heart disease or anything life and death. I am not yet afraid of dying. I am just afraid of getting old and looking old.I just finally realized how smoking goes against all of my beauty rituals. Since hitting 27, I developed an interest in sun block, moisturizers, and now, eye cream. I think one of the things that encouraged this interest is my mom. She’s 56 years old. I really don’t know if she looks her age, but she sure looks younger than most of her amigas. And I just bought an expensive eye cream to get rid of the wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles under my eyes. It would be a waste to apply these pricey beauty products on smoke-damaged skin.
Several people, including my managers have dropped by my workstation this week to ask me to go for a yosi break with them. I have turned down each offer because I don’t want to be caught in a tempting situation. Last Monday though, Denver and I had a night out with one of our friends. They were both smoking and enjoying their San Mig Light. I was just there watching them. I’m pretty proud of myself.
I know I will be in other trying situations. I just hope that my motivation will be enough to keep this habit out of my system for good.
Wish me luck!
