End of day 29

Heading into NML (no mans land) as I awake tomorrow. I am still holding tight to my quit. My husband went back to smoking his full flavor and a consuming a bit more with each passing day. It sucks, a few days ago when he asked me to pick him up a pack "The reds not the blue pack" he asked. I just shook my head and said I would. I told him I would not harp on him, but if he complains about not being able to breath or having an A-fib breakthrough after he smokes I will just remind him that it wouldn't be happening if he doesn't smoke. I am grateful he did curb his smoking while I drove him down to his doctors office and back. Only one down and two back. A lot better then the 3+ each way and not once did I have the desire. Why would I since I am a non-smoker?

The easier days are happening and the only time I really think about it is when I get in my truck. Keeping plenty of mints and water available in the truck though. I have not had the desire or urge to grab a mint in the house in a few days so I am happy about that.  The stress of my day to day life has been a bit higher then normal. Dinner with the family last Wednesday and Thanksgiving Lunch with those still around was a happy and stress free night/day at the farm. The next month should be rather calm before the adventures of the new year and lots of driving happen.

Day 29 of my quit, the last time I seriously tried was 4 years ago. I ended up having the first puff on day 28 of my quit back then. I bought a pack that afternoon and a carton the next day. So I was very excited with that thought this morning.

Forever saying NOPE.

I quit smoking Oct 31st 2017. It was hard, I had rough moments, but even with my husband and roommate smoking I kept from smoking since I decided to do it for me. Aug 7th 2018 my husband quit smoking. September 18 my world was turned upside down as my husband died in front of me. February 19, 2019 I quit..it took a few tries after my husband passed, but I am no longer a smoker.
