Hiya John

I've very often thought about owning up and having a frank and honest chat with my husband, it seems so mad that we are very close in everything and yet I have this secret from him.  I think I've shied away from telling him the whole truth because I feel so embarassed and stupid, he's also never smoked so really has no idea how the addiction affects you in so many ways.

Can I ask how old your daughter is? and did she have an inkling that you weren't telling her the whole truth?   I do have a burning question for my family which I can't ask, at least not yet.... I know they knew I sneaked off to smoke, have they noticed that now I don't? 

I had to go into work today for a meeting (I'm a part time teacher so it was an after school departmental gathering) and my daughter asked if she could come too, what a pleasure to be able to say yes - I know that had it been the bad old days, I'd have made up some excuse because if she came too I wouldn't have been able to stop the car and have a cig before and on the way home!!  how lovely to spend the time with her Smile

Looking forward to another smoke free day tomorrow - day number 18 woop woop!!
