It will be 3 yrs this october since I have had one of those horrid smokes, and I feel great!

The reason I am here today is I am looking for some help.

My husband has decided that he wants to quit, I am over the moon with his decision as I worry about his health.

He has asked for my support, of course I am going to support him anyway that I can but I am worried about his mood swings.

I dont know how I am going to cope with them. In the past it has not gone well and he has ended up going back to the smokes. This to makes me angry as I feel that it is an absolute waste of time.

Just some background info to try to help you understand a little better.

This is my second marriage. My first husband was, is an aggresive man. My kids and I lived with this for 10 yrs. I would always be on edge when I sensed that he was going into a bad mood especially with the kids. This would end up in a huge arguement between the two of us.

Now if I sense the slightest change in my husbands mood (who is normally a very placid, patient man) I get very defensive straight away. I dont know how to turn this off.

I really want to be able to help him quit and support him to the best of my ability but am worried that I will make matters worse.....

I would appreciate any ideas that any body may have.

cheers.

If it makes you that uncomfortable, why not try going on a holiday. Its alot easier to break the habit in different surroundings and change up the routine.

I would really recommend Champix - after taking them for a couple of weeks its like you just forget to smoke one day. No moodswings whatsoever. Just make sure you take them on a full stomach!
