Emotional Smoking

[Bernie51]

I haven't quit yet.  I'm gearing up, it will be no later than 15 Jan 23.  But I suffer from loneliness.  I have a few non-smoking friends that don't really understand smoking.

Every, I mean Every emotion I feel, I smoke.  I've really in the past called my cigarettes my true friend.   I am married and my partner is a very difficult person to live with, although I love him dearly.  Quick to irritation and frustration.  This in turns hurts/frustrates/or angers me.  This will be my biggest hurdle.  I've talked with him, he has calmed down some, but it's in his personality.  My concern is what do I do, w/o a cigarette to stuff the emotions.  Anyone else experience this?  What helped you?
