Congrats to both of you!  Quitting as a couple makes you accountable to each other.  Just make sure that your quits themselves are individual.  Stay strong!

Just wanted to share my :couple: experience... don't let the other one allow a cave in!  it is easier to accept a crave and give in if the other wants it too... don't justify the other partner giving in...keep strong for each other!

Welcome, forbsies. Glad to have you aboard. You have already helped another member. Sounds like you and hubby are doing well. So I don't have a whole lot to say, because you have probably already figured out that drinking lots of ice, cold water, eating veggies and sugar-free candy helps. You can setup your stats by going to 'My Profile' and 'Support Group Options'. Both links can be found near the top of the page. Having the stats up helps us to celebrate milestones with you. If you need anything, just holler. Someone will always answer.

Hi Lillian
Yep there are couples going through the hell together!!!  We are on day 8 of no smoking, both having smoked for well over 30 years (and heavy smokers too).  We have both been surprised how much help we have been to each other, not had any arguments....yet!!

My husband and I gave up around the same time, he quit before me, but we tended to support each other rather than avoid each other. Maybe you could make the first move and tell him how proud you are of both of you that you've managed to stay smoke free?

Hi Lillian,
 
It can be tough when someone in the household is quitting smoking, not to mention two!  Keep in mind that this is temporary.  Make time to spend with each other and talk about how you are doing in the quit.  Also, celebrate your successes with each other.  Plan fun rewards and do things you enjoy.  After all you deserve it and rewards are an important part of quitting!
 
How will you reward yourself for getting through today?
