Husband quit two weeks ago .. he's fine I'm very grouchy!!

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 10

Thank you everyone who responded. You are so right about my husband's quit not comparing to mine. He is a man and true he doesn't share his feelings.. even though I try to pry it out of him, but after 18 years... I'm learning.. ha!.. He did admit (wow!!) yesterday that he was snapping at me cuz of the withdrawal... duh to me.. I didn't add two plus two when he snapped. I'm doing much better so far today. Last night wasn't too bad compared to my first couple of nights. I was way too tired to exercise like I did on Monday evening... and from reading some of your posts... I don't need to beat myself up cuz I didn't. I guess I need to give myself a break from worrying about another job, going back to school, my son in the Air Force (since 9/06), etc. I'm just going to give myself a break and sloooooowwww down.. I've also clipped a picture of a pair of healthy lungs and I'm taping to the calendar each day so I can look at it with pride... It will be four days at 10 am today!!! Take care and thank you very much for your support... keep on keeping on!!! Marcy

Hi all.. I'm working on my third day. I started smoking very late in life (40... don't ask).. I quit once for three years and started again cuz something stupid.. now I'm quiting again. My husband quit almost two weeks ago.. he was very ill and that was reason enough for him.. He's breezing along fine COLD TURKEY.. if he's not he's doing a good job of not showing it... However, I'm a wreck.. I'm grouchy, quick tempered, almost in tears at times AND I'M ON WELLBUTRIN AND THE PATCH... I don't remember this happening the first time I quit... I know it's all a mind game, but I feel sometimes like someone has died... like I'm grieving.. it's horrible... but I'm a hanging... Appreciate any advise... and encouragement!!! :gasp: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 41 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 49

I felt that way. Beter now. Read some old posts here on the subject. Know that it is normal for some of us and it will pass. In the mean time, allow yourself plenty of space, don't make any rash decisions and pamper yourself. Protect your quit and don't listent to Nic.

My hubby and I quit together also. I must say that he had a much easier time with quitting than I did and I was so envious of him for the longest time. Of course, I smoked twice as much as he did and for a longer period of time....so, obviously, I was much more 'addicted' than he.... Everyone's quit is different. Accept that and do whatever it takes for YOU to stay quit. God bless both of you! What a wonderful gift to give to each other and to yourselves!

Marcy, It's normal for all quitters to experience a period of sadness, however you may want to consult your doctor. Wellbutrin can produce side effects such as the ones your describing but again, only your doctor can make that distinction. Danielle ________________________ The SSC Support Team

Marcy - Congratulations on your quit! You're almost through Day #3. For me, Day #3 was the hardest, worse than the first 2 days. It did start to feel more bearable (and I think I became more bearable to be around!) within another day or two. So, hang in there!

Please keep in mind that you, in reality have no idea at all how your husbands quit is going. You do not experience what he is feeling or thinking. Certainly he may convey his feelings to you but we all know that men fail miserably in the area of sharing feelings. For all intents and purposes he may be thoroughly miserable and suffering just as much as you are, it's just that you dont know it. Just try to remain committed to your quit, try not to compare it to anyone else's. We are all different after all. Good luck.
