Resisting .....staying strong, staying clean
Day 18, my partner is staying with me at the momment and he is still smoking.....I am so strong and keen to stay clean and not smoke again....it is hard to break old patterns, when we used to spend time together arfter work sharing a cold beer and smoking cigarettes together and talking together about stuff before we prepared our dinner....I didnt want to sit with him while he smoked cause it is difficult for me and also I really hate the smell of cigarettes now, so it seemed sad to not be able to share that time together...spose we will have to find new and better ways of sharing......wish he would give up too, or wish he would not smoke around me or the house....might be being a little extreme but right now I need to be....:)
I must admit i am very lucky for the fact that my partner doesn't smoke.. But i did have a similar problem with my friends.. They are all smokers and for the first 2-3 weeks i pretty much isolated myself from them for fear of temptation being too strong.. Lol.. I am now at day 38 and it isnt really a major deal to me anymore.. I can sit there while they smoke and it doesnt bother me all that much.. Sometimes the smell is disgusting and sometimes the smell is alluring.. Changes on a daily basis Lol.. But in the end it gets much easier to be around them :-)
Congrats on your success so far, keep up the good work and Goodluck xxx
I am day 22. You are doing really well. Im lucky my husband gave up smoking 1 day after me. He seen me go that first day and thought to himself if she can do it than so can i. You just need to find something else that can fill that gap. All the best and keep going.
