I think this the toughest part of the quit when it comes right down to it. With decades of conditioned responses almost every thing that happens triggers an urge to light up. So you really do have to be prepared with something to counter it.
Thanks for the bump. Good information.

Sherri this is one of those times when you have to put yourself first if you are going to be successful. The end result will benefit both you and your family. You can't let your fear of how you might react to a situation with your family stop you from quitting nor can you use that as a reason to smoke again after you quit.
Everybody's quit is different but I don't think you are going to become a raging monster :) The fact is you are going to be getting rid of the monster. You can channel those "angry energies" into other things like excercise or doing something you have put off for a long time. Chances are those feelings won't stay with you very long anyway.
The only thing you should fear is not quitting. This is about you and either your family will support you or they won't but it is you that has to make the choice to quit and stay quit. You will find lots of help and support here. So don't be afraid, just take it one minute, one hour, one day at a time. You can do this and I bet your family will be proud of you for doing it.

Congratulations Angel on being smoke free for one year! Everytime I see someone post that they have reached the one year mark or longer I get a renewed sense of confidence and motivation. So thank you for providing that boost.
Celebrate and be proud of your accomplishment.
