Reciprocity

Welcome Jeff and I would agree with the others. This is YOUR quit and you need to protect it at all costs. You've come too far now to turn back. You WILL get all the unconditional support here that you need. Also, and please take full advantage of this - you will have a lot of information about nicotine addiction here at your fingertips. Please take advantage of that and read all you can as well as watching the Joel videos. Understanding the addiction and the truth about it and how it will try and keep you in it;s clutches is critical to staying smoke free. Once you truly realise that smoking does nothing good and only takes from you (your health, money and freedom), it will be a lot easier to stay quit. You will truly learn to hate smoking and everything to do with it. You CAN do this, as all the rest of us have

Yeah - Congrats Gigi! 2 Years is fabulous

I agree with both despair not and MQ. This is YOUR quit dizzy. You can't be responsible for hubby's quit too. Stay away from the wine for sure if that's going to be a trigger because your judgement will also likely not be at it's best after a couple of drinks. I'm glad you decided to take charge of the situation and protect your quit. You've worked to hard to let it go over a couple of drinks. Stay strong and let us know how you're doing later on please.

You need to appreciate that although the really hard cravings to get past all pretty much happen in the first month or so, you will still be challenged at times and some times there is no clear reason why but, the challenges you will have to face will become fewer and less intense as time goes by. That's just how it works for all of us. Slowly .... very slowly you will become more and more comfortable as a non smoker. It's pretty common knowledge that you need to pretty much put in a whole year as a non smoker to have faced all the challenges you are likely to face. Even after that, you will still think of smoking you just won't want any part of it because you will realize that it never did even one good thing for you (or at least you should realize that after 1 whole year). So, carry on and trust in both the quitting process and yourself. If you have made it to the 3 month mark, there's no reason you can't be a non smoker for the rest of your life
