Temptation
Imagine what it is like trying to fight the 'smoke' demon when your partner smokes 50 a day!!!! He smokes in garage but he comes back in smelling of smoke which is a constant reminderAnybody got any suggestions
Sorry Aleah, I can be around smokers and I'm ok, I find that it's certain times of the day for me. Maybe you can distance yourself by going into another room for a while. It must be pretty hard to give up when there are smokers around you.
I'm re-reading Allen Carrs Easyway to Stop Smoking. Fabulous book. Helped me - now 134 days. He says... If you ever start to envy another smoker, realize that they will be envious of you. You are not being deprived. He is! He also says... Remember you did not enjoy being a smoker that's why you stopped! I say... Remember how embarrassing it was to have to nick out for a smoke. Remember the hit to the pocket every time you bought a packet or a carton. Remember the desperation when you couldn't have a smoke for some reason - the panic! Remember it's not worth it!
my kids live with us while they are saving for a house...the son still smokes...he also smokes outside, but yeah, i can smell it on his clothes...but then i smell mine...or smell my smoking hand and both smell nice by comparison and i keep my resolve...i had been putting this of for years, but now at last i feel good about it...this is my day seven smoke free...and yes, temptation is strong but like you coming to this site and reading a while helps a lot...hang in there...you can do it....
