I Wish This Trick Would Work With $100 Bills!!!

That is really surreal HP.  That nicodemon is really getting creative.  But, yes, dollar bills do come at  you from not spending them on ciggies.  Look at how many in your mileage.  I stop the craves at times by looking at how much I've saved and how many ciggies I have not smoked.  Do I want to spend that kind of money on ciggies again?  NOPE in both senses of the acronym and word.  Good for you for hustling right out of there.

Talk about visualization...
 
I was leaving the market yesterday when a trigger popped up.
 Feeling the urge a little stronger than most times but I just batted it
away with the thought "Oh yeah, I don't do that anymore".  Easy. 
 
Then I walked into the parking lot which is on a slight incline. The parking space next to
me was empty so I saw this coming ..... A LIT CIGARETTE rolling down the hill right at ME!!!
I was already at my car door and about to hop in. The cigarette stopped right there at my feet. 
The smoke wafted into my open car.  I slammed the door shut. My car smelled like smoke. Eyew!
I hightailed it out of there and rolled down my windows.
 
Now why can't this trick work with dollar bills.... I wouldn't mind if those came flying at me in parking lots!
