Thanks Zoe, thanks Patricia,
2 weeks free IS an accomplishment. The great part though is how all the info on this site has helped me to reframe my thinking. It has made it easier than I imagined to get through these first 2 weeks. Any time I feel the remotest twinge of a thought of smoking I remind myself that 'one equals all' and I never ever want to have that sick lifestyle again...the filthy taste in my mouth, the sore throat, the endless coughing and hacking.
One day at a time!
Thanks Zoe for the info on strategies you and your husband are using to avoid danger. The one about the promise to never taunt the other about wanting one is something I will explicitly bring up to my husband so we avoid that pitfall if times of weakness arise in the future (hopefully we can both stay as strong as we are now).
Congrats to you both, NTAP
