Welcome DEB!
 
Your on your way to a successful quit - many of us it takes multiple times of trying to quit before we actually succeed.  I for one have tried multiple times before and always ended up smoking.   This time though I really think this is it - this quit feels so much different then the other times.  I believe I actually want to quit smoking more then I want to smoke.  I realize where my downfall was before when I tried to quit - it was the ole "just one puff" thought - well I know now I cannot let myself have just that "one puff" it doesn't work that way.   And I can fight the "one puff" thought as it goes away after a few minutes. 
 
So rest assured if your desire to quit smoking is greater the your desire to smoke you WILL succeed - just don't give into the "one puff" and you will be fine.  Hopefully your husband will continue his quit also, but if he does not remember this quit is your quit and yours alone.  It may be ahrder to quit with a smoker close by - but it can be done just don't give into the "one puff" - each day will get easier and easier.
