I also quit to keep my marriage. I quit to keep a promise to my father when he was dying form smoking. I quit when his brother died from smoking, and this time, I quit with the original idea of saving my marriage, again, but it will never work until I quit for ME.
No matter what happens to my marriage, I'm not going to smoke TODAY!
Everyone who quits, or considers it, knows the bad it does to our lives, but so many times we have quit for all the wrong reasons. WE have to want to quit before it will work and before we can stay smokefree.
Good luck with your quitting, I am newly back to a non smoker, after 3 1/2 years without a smoke. This time I'm doing it for me, and whatever else happens, happens. If I continue to smoke, after 28 years of smoking, there will be nothing else that matters anyhow, except is my life support machine giving the proper dose of air to my lungs?
This is a sickening addiction, but the reality of it is, it can be licked.
