Hey Chicken Little, your not birdbrained at all. I too have not given myself the okay to feel good and yell to the world that I'm a non-smoker. I guess it's a fear from past failed quits. I am not broadcasting it this time, if someone notices I will tell them, but this time it's my own crusade within myself. Maybe at my 6 month mark the fear will leave and I can really feel relief. Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say here.
Stay strong - stay quit!!

I am 40 and I too tried quitting many times and always gave in due to the effort it took everyday not to smoke. My husband is a non smoker and always got disappointed with me when I failed. He would throw "the kids want their mother around" line at me which only made me mad and smoke more. Even when he supported me with words of encouragement, I still got angry because he had no idea what I was going through or feeling. I told him that the next time I try to quit, I would appreciate it if he didn't say a word to me, good or bad. I didn't tell anyone I was quitting this time although I think my husband knew. We only talk about my quit when I bring it up, he says nothing to me and I really like it that way. It is a struggle but I am so happy I've stayed quit this long and do not plan on ever going back to day 1. It has gotten easier and I no longer think about cigs all day long.
Take the chance - it's the best thing you can do for everyone, most importantly yourself.
