I have attempted quitting smoking before. When I quit the first time, I quit with my husband and he would not stop complaining that he wanted to smoke and he was mean. I stayed strong for several days but eventually gave in to him as he had gone to buy cigarettes anyways. I really need to quit. I feel it in my body and the doctor has told me that I can not smoke because she can hear it in my lungs. This is my problem. My husband sabotages me all the time. When I told him I don't want to smoke because of what the doctor said, he kept asking me if I wanted to smoke with him. It's so hard to quit. I make all the money, so I have to give him money for smokes and if I don't my life will be hell. It's so hard to stop when someone is always pressuring me to smoke with them and I live with him and smell his clothes and breath and watch him smoke. Any advice would be great.
UPDATE: My quit date is July 31 and I will give a copy of the letter you posted to my loved ones. I think it is a great resource. Thank you for forwarding it. I appreciate the feedback and perspectives that give me strength to quit for my own good. I think if I prepare for all the temptations that will come I can deal with it, get past it, and live a smoke free life. Your support has been unexpected and just what I needed to support me through this change. I have smoked since I was eleven years old, so it has been hard for me to imagine living life without smoking, but I know I can do it.
