Denisey, if your husband is a smoker, there's no way he can support you because your quit is a betrayal. If he is a never-smoker, there's no way he can support you because he has no clue. If he's a former smoker, he can't support you because he has a short memory.
My husband is a smoker. I beat my head against the wall for weeks and weeks trying to get something, anything out of him except a grunt. I really wanted him to just recognize what I was doing and maybe say "Good job." Never happened. I even said to him flat out, "Please just tell me I'm doing a good job or that you're proud of me." Couldn't do it.
The solution is to forget him for support. Own your quit. Get your support here and wherever else you can get it. Don't mix your quit up with his emotional issues. But DO say to him "I recognize that this is difficult for you. It is difficult for me, too. I'm doing the best that I can and I hope you understand the reasons why I am doing this."
As far as your own symptoms, be sure to drink lots of water and juice and keep your blood sugar up. If the mood swings last, I suggest some talking therapy.
Good luck -- if you look at my stats, you can see that this can be done with or without support at home.
