Welcome freemom..great name
Wow, I could not hide my smoking from my family. But, I'm sure if too much time went by, you had to make excuses to be alone somehow. Or, if the family was doing some activity all together, you would have some "other" thing to do so you could be alone and smoke? Look how it controlled your life, how it made you sneaky and secretive. There are some other closet smokers on this site; hopefully they will be along soon. But, I would say that you should try and be around people as much as you can in the upcoming weeks. Spend time at the library? or browse antique shops? or be in the same room with your kids at all hours (they will LOVE that). Play some board games with them or watch movies together...avoid sneaking off out of habit. My point, think of ways to be with people. Congratulations on making this decision. Read, post, do the online program and educate yourself about the healing process from nicotine addiction.
