Well Hi all! Yep still quit but need some ideas and suggestions. I've tried everything I can think of up till now. Let me explain so you all understand. I have a strange family who would rather smoke than not smoke. I know I did the right thing because when the entire family (my sister and her kids and her kids' kids) smokes (and parents), I realized omg this crap stinks! I got the worst headache and then I looked both my boys in the face and apologized to them for smoking around them. That is when everyone blew up at me. They said I was acting like a self righteous quitter. Well, the fact is, I DID owe my boys an apology and I wanted them to realize I MEANT it when I said it because I was really getting sick from being around 8 people smoking outside in a porch area. My mother is the worst of them. No support from her at all. If anything, she would love to see me fail. She picks these fights subtly and then blames my attitude on my quitting and says in front of everyone that THAT is why she wont quit. Its like then stop picking on me. I also see everything so much more clearly (no smoke screen to hide behind). I love the fact I see things for what they are and I'm not hiding behind that false comfort. My mother said that is a smokers vice and everyone has to have one. Heck my father even said I didn't have the right to say anything about it being as simple as putting a cigarette down for good to quit because I have only been quit for less than 2 weeks. I had to look at him and proudly say, "no, I have been quit for 24 precious days and I dont regret one bit of them". Maybe it is my attitude. I have never told my family they should quit or pay the consequences because I hated it when I smoked and someone would harp me about quitting. I've always let them just smoke because I'm counting my blessings.
Ok, need ideas on how to handle my family now that I've written a book here (sorry).
Kasi
