Quote From: angelgirl2007I do know about the stress smoking, that is (was) what I am, still working on it, I haven't had a smoke in 3 weeks, but I know how hard it is, when I get pissed off at my Husband, the first thing I think of is a cigarette, and I have to fight with myself not to go buy a pack. So good luck.
Hi Angelgirl 2007,
I hear you loud and clear on that one !!!!!! I too still get that feeling of when I'm upset with my hubby, I want one !!!!! But I will say the craving for one even in the worst time of stress, goes by pretty quickly. I want one, because I know the satisfaction I got from it, but since I have it finally under control is it worth that 5 minute pleasure. That's were the deep breathing exercise comes in. That's my control method. It gives me the that feeling of calm of when I'm really upset. Fighting two battles at once, hubby and the craving !!!!!
My hubby is on the "Chantix", he dips snuff. The chantix is really helping him. I will say he is in somewhat of denial, takes one or two dips a day, and says "look how much I have cut back" . I try to be understanding, for him to comes to terms in his own battle with it. He really believes it will never hurt him. He is going on 3 weeks now. I'm buying lots of gum !!!! Keep me posted of how you are coming along.
