I went for a facial a couple of Saturdays ago. Nothing unusual in that is there except that not enough people take the time to do this. I call it preventative medicine. It is a fabulous thing to do for yourself.
Well, this time, I got a facial and the woman put a mask on my face. Literally. This mask must have contained the lotion as she put it on my face, cutting out a place for my nostrils so I could breathe. My mouth was covered. This mask was kept on me for about 20 minutes or more.
Before I had quit smoking, I would not have been able to tolerate a situation like that. I used to go into mild panic attacks when going to the dentist for fillings! I was afraid I wouldn't get enough air breathing through my nose or that I would start coughing.
And even early in my quit, I would have still panicked. Now, I just took a deep breath and calmed myself.
Truly, a miracle. I love not smoking.
