Hi Boxerfan ~
Welcome to SSC. I know you're hanging in there and it can be tough at fist, but there are so MANY other thing you can do than smoke. Keep your list of reasons why you quit handy (I pasted mine to the bathroom mirror to look at every morning). Drink lots of water - it and come here and let us know how you're feeling.
I started out a year ago on the same journey with my husband and I had to "talk" to you because we both followed N.O.P.E. Not One Puff Ever and took it one day at a time and we just celebrated our one YER anniversary of being non-smokers - together. It's fabulous and I wish the same thing for you and your husband. We both just finished 4 miles each on the treadmill and were not even breathing hard. It's like we are NEW again.
Keeping the journal will help you vent out some feelings - both good and bad. Remember too that quitting can be mentally and physically exhausting, so get extra rest and be gentle with yourself right now, your body is going through a lot of changes and will continue to do so for awhile.
Hang in there and stay tough ! Shout out if ya need us !
All my best,
CobenFan
