I stopped 3.30 in the afternoon. I have been putting off stopping (again) for months and months. I was looking after my mum for a couple of days (who thinks i stayed stopped years ago) so this forced my start day. It was easy, why had I been delaying it? Now the hard bit. My husband is a smoker. Im not to use that as my excuse to relapse. Had cravings when he came home. Found a nice long hot shower helped the cravings vanish. New day new battle.

Hi Smoky
Well done now on day 4 that's great
Sorry you had the craves when your smoking OH came home but glad the shower helped with that
Drinking water for some reason daft as it sounds also helps a lot just hang in there

Hi welcome and well done for stopping the cigarettes.
Quite a few of us have smoking husbands/partners, I do too. He never smokes where I am and he goes outside but I still know he is doing it, we can smell them, urgh. Onwards for you all the way to the top.

I was not aware that I smelled like an ashtray after I had a smoke until I quit smoking and could smell the way other people smelled after smoking. The smell of tobacco on others is a powerful trigger. So many mention that drinking water helps it has too. Hang in there. We are rooting for you.
Thanks for the water tip.

My husband smokes too- it is hard! But, it's do-able. I used long bubble baths, facials, anything pampering, to get past cravings. Whatever works, do it!
My husband has no intention of quitting, and is a bit scornful of my quit attempt(s!) but I have to be stronger than him and get on with it. And, you know what? It's ok! Best of luck to you, am sure you'll do fab!
I'm the same, Ialways take a bubble bath in the evenings and that really helps relax me and keep the thoughts of smoking away from me
My husband is a smoker.
My husband is a smoker too. I think we can still do it but maybe it is slightly harder as we are near temptation all the time. We just have to get on with it I suppose.
I walk away if I get too tight when he smokes.
Maybe there's a group for quitters whose otherhalves still smoke!!!
Best of luck to you all!
