Thinking about Starting again, due to spouse is.

I agree with the group, sparkwins. If it were me, I would politely explain the struggle I was experiencing and ask her to please not smoke in the bedroom or bath. The problem I see with starting again and quitting when your wife is ready is...what if she doesn't get ready? Are you going to smoke forever if she does? Hmm. Keep the quit! If your wife loves you and wants the best for you she will be willing to adjust her routine for your well being. If not, drop the bathroom ashtray in the trash can. If she replaces it, do it again. Might work. Worth a shot, anyway. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/25/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 67 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,010 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $391.95 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

bad idea Sparkwins. Ask her not to smoke in the bedroom or bathroom. That nicotine is out of your system now, you don't want to go through hell week again do you? Fall is here, open some windows and enjoy some fresh air. Protect your quit, you are worth it.

NO.....NO......NO.......DO NOT GIVE IN......It is just Old Nicodemon tempting you. You have 18 days in. Don't give it up for anyone!!! If the ashtray in the bedroom bothers you say something to your spouse. If the one in the bathroom bothers you, empty it and move it out! My Hubby is still smoking and although we never smoked in the bedroom or bathroom, he still has his cig after dinner or whatever meal we are eating. I usually get up and walk away, but by now it really doesn't bother me anymore. But....I can remmeber back when I was only 18 days quit and the thought of restarting was right there in my face but I didn't give in and You don't need to either. Stay Quit!!!! Just think when your spouse does decide to quit you will have so much more quit time ahead of her and you won't have to go thru the withdrawl again! Come here and type away, write as many posts as you need to write to get you thru the fleeting moments when you THINK you need a cig. It will pass. Just keep your quit!!!!

    Cigarettes Not Smoked

I have not had a single puff in 18 days. I got off the lozenges 12 days ago. But, I am thinking about starting again because my spouse is a smoker and when she lights up in the bedroom in the middle of night and in the morning, it is very hard for me. The smell is very powerful. The ashtray in the bathroom is also driving me nuts, as I used to smoke a lot in the bathroom and bedroom. I am getting tired of fighting it and when your spouse is smoking, it is very tiring. I figure I will just quit again when she quits. She said she will be quitting soon, so I figure, might as well smoke instead of having to fight it everyday when she lights up, and then quit again when she quits. What do you think? I feel like I will be able to quit again when she does. I have never made this far before and I don't want to start again, but every night, she lights one a few times, and in the bedroom, and in the morning, plus the ashtray in the bathroom, and I keep having to fight it more than I should have to, but I know she won't stop until she decides to quit. Very Frustrating. Don't know what to do?..............
