Lisa - congratulation on 150! You should be very proud of yourself! By the way, I watched your quit video and thanked the man who was brave enough to tape it and put it out there. He and his mother have definitely helped a lot of people, me included. Thanks for putting it up.

Wow, you are in a pickle. First, I'm totally impressed with your ability to stay smoke free while living with another smoker! I'm not sure that I would have the strength to make it through the cravings with cigarettes within easy reach! Your SO is an addict. It's an addiction you know all too well about. Think about how you would have felt if the rolls were reversed. Use that knowledge when breaching the subjects.
That said, you deserve consideration. We all do from our SOs. That's what love is about. Don't forget it. You had enough self-respect to stop smoking. Have enough to face the issues that threaten your quit.
Good luck,
AK

Great post Mr. Q. I can completely relate to the "challenges" that make us smoke and pull us back in. It took me a while to realize that smoking didn't make me feel better or more prepared to handle the crazies in life, it just gave me an excuse to say "screw it" and pretend to cope.
Smoking is so destructive in many ways other than just your physical health.
