My hubby, bless his heart, quit smoking nearly 2 1/2 years ago. And when I ask him sometimes, did he experience this or that, he replies, "I can't remember." I don't think I could EVER forget, nor would I want to.
So of course, with him not able to remember, it was no surprise that he reacted the way he did when I hit a "bump in the road" around the 90 day mark. He said, "Well, you've been quit 3 months now, you'd think it wouldn't be THAT much of a problem now."
I blew. That's all I can say. He got the gist of it and I got a huge apology.
Yes, its better than it was, but I'm not at the "normal" stage yet, whatever that is. So when a few months has passed, DON'T let your guard down, and DON'T let anyone tell you, you should be over it.
This is a process, and having patience is HUGE.
So whatever stage you're at, be patient with yourself. It only gets better!
Cheers, Jan
