Nursey,
Uhh Huh. I can see you right now with your lips pursed together, asking your husband in that sassy tone, "Well, how many did ya smoke today?" You know, that real digusted tone. Let's not forget that one eye brow raised and that cold steel glare in your eyes. You're going to flounce too when he tells you how many he smoked. LOL
I'm not laughing that he started smoking again. I hate that and sure wish he hadn't. But you know good and well you're flouncing around with those lips pursed together while you're laying down the law. ;)
I've read over and over that slipping is part of the quit for some people. That's probably what your husband is doing right now. Ask MomMom if I slipped? I started the same day that she did and FOUR days into my quit, I slipped. Oh man, I hated myself for it too. I'm sure your hubby is really kicking himself right now but since he's around friends who are smoking, that isn't helping. Maybe if he got back on the wagon and steered clear of those friends for a couple of weeks his quit would be more solid. What do you think?
You know, I haven't had anyone smoke around me at all since I quit. I wonder how I'm going to handle it when it happens. Ew, I really dread that one. I've walked through cigarette smoke in parking lots and didn't effect me but to actually be in a room with someone who smokes, I haven't had to cross that bridge yet.
My son-in-law quit smoking on Jan. 1st and I just found out that he slipped two weeks ago. He didn't want me to know because he didn't want me to be disappointed in him. I can't help but be disappointed. Not in HIM but that the nicodemon defeated him...for now. But, I'm encouraging him as much as possible and hopefully, he'll quit when he's ready to tough it out. He does smoke outside. He sort of acts embarrassed if I open the front door and see him with a cigarette. HEEEEEE!! I keep opening the door too. HEEEEEEE!
Your hubby will come around. I know you're disappointed but just encourage him all that you can. Do lay down those ground rules though. You don't want or need him smoking around you at all.
How is everyone else doing today? Hope to hear from everyone.
Stay Strong!!
Tutti
