Cuddles,
No way am I gonna sit here and for one second belive that you really think giving in to your hubby's second hand smoke by smoking a cigaretted, especially when you have NINE DAYS under your belt, is the course of action you want to take! Listen to Lady.
Don't suppose you have a tent laying around anywhere in storage? Maybe you could set it up out in the back yard, especially with summer weather on its way, (here in Texas it never seemed to leave this year.) You can tell hubby you are moving into the tent until the second hand smoke no longer bothers you....and you have NO idea WHEN that might be! hahahaha
Well ok, that might be a bit extreme. Hang in there girl...you CAN DO THIS!

You are 34 days quit. That is AWESOME!! 34 days free of smoke, 34 days free of tar being dumped into your lungs, 34 days off one of the most addicitve substances there is....[size=4]ONLY 34 DAYS?[/size]

Lady,
I'm late to the party...but just had to stop in and say
[size=4]CONGRATULATIONS!!![/size]
You truly are an inspiration to those of us who are still very new to this adventure. I love reading your posts, your thoughts, and what you've learned along the way. You will never know how much I personally appreciate the time you take here on SSC to help the rest of us attain the success you have reached in your quit.
God Bless you, and may you have a wonderful, smoke-free life!!!!

Cuddles,
I agree, it should be hubby moving into a tent...but then, many cultures over the centuries have used GUILT and SHAME to get their points across. ::evil grin:: Ya never know...it could work!
Hang in there...you know we are here for you to bounce your frustration off of. I have three smokers in my house, one of which still smokes in his room. And yes, they drag the smell of smoke into the areas I'm occupying even if they aren't actually smoking in the same room as me.
I constantly use positive thoughts to get me through..."Sheesh...that REALLY stinks!" or "Yep, am I ever glad I don't smell like that anymore!"
Furthermore, I know without question that through time, I will encounter smoke, smokers and smoke right in my face NUMEROUS times. I mentally try to prepare myself for the battle in my head against the pull those things had on me for so many years.
And I'm winning the battle!
Please don't give up!

penangel,
Welcome to SSC. Roam around the place, read everything you can here. Go through the steps outlined by SSC in the Quit Program.
And then.... LEAN HEAVILY on the other members here who so graciously offer themselves as guides, crying towels and sounding boards when we feel weak in our fight to live cigarette free lives!
Congratulations on your decision to quit!

Cass,
Congratulations on your first day's quit! That is such a HUGE milestone and I personally am very proud of you. One foot in front of the other...and keep giving yourself POSITIVE talk.
"I HAVE quit smoking"
"I AM a non-smoker"
"I WILL succeed"
Your positive inner voice HAS to be louder than the whispers of temptation from Nicodemon
Hang Tuff. We are here if ya need us!
