Hi all. It's been 5 days since hubby and I had started the patches. He told me he took 2 draws of a cig from a friend at work a couple days ago, but then told me last night he has smoked 3 full cigarettes over the last 4 days. He asked me if I was mad at him, and I said "No, I'm not Mad. I'm Upset and I'm DISAPPOINTED". I was worried about slipping myself, but I'm so Proud of Me, I haven't. :)
I know he doesn't need to have anymore at all, but I am glad that he was honest with me.
I know I can't "guilt" him into completely quitting. That's his decision, but, as considerate as I could, I told him that if he kept going after 26 years of smoking, he would be the next 1 to go 6 feet under. Like I said in my 1st post, he just lost his mother to lung cancer, and she stopped smoking around 30 years ago.
It may have seemed harsh or inconsiderate, but I'm trying to get it through to him that he doesnt' have to go through this alone. We can do this Together, if he would just let me be there for him.
