How do I talk to my family?


18 years ago 0 3131 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Well no one in my immediate family smokes (yikes) wish I never, but that's all in the past on with tomorrow, both my best friends are heavy smokers and I advised them, no smoking in my house and they respect that, they smoke outside.I even put up a sign that I've seen on this site (pretty funny) I made it huge for my husband's family to see cause they smoke also. The sign says no smoking, if we see smoke around you, we will drench you in water, as we will think you are on fire. Pretty clear, we must protect our quit at all cost :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 54 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 824 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $216 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 1 [B]Seconds:[/B] 47

Lucy, Don't feel bad, when i first quit, you can search on my name and read the story of this, my mother even lite up in my car!!!! It almost killed me!! I went to her and told her that she just can't smoke around me anymore and yes she was mad at first, but she got over it and then when I had 30 days or so, she decided to join me and quit too!!! I have 3 people in my family joining me! So stick up for yourself and maybe when they see your example for a while, maybe they will see that it is possible and decide to join you too!

How do I get my Family not to smoke around me without them getting mad at me? My Mother is a chain smoker and my sister is a closet smoker. It just seems like everywhere I go there is smoking.
