My husband knew that I smoked on occasion in the past, but he thought I had quit. But in reality, I was actually a regular smoker... until 4 days ago when I decided to quit.
It hasn't been easy as I get urges multiple times a day and I have been an emotional roller coaster. My husband started to think it was strange that I have been so moody the last few days. And so I decided to tell him what's actually going on with me. I told him that I smoked a lot more than he thought I did. I told him I've had a difficult few days because I am trying to quit. And I told him I will quit for the baby we're trying to have.
He was surprised to hear that I still smoked and hid it from him, but he understood how serious I am about quitting and started to think of other things I could do to cope with stress. Some things we came up with were massages, playing silly video games, and baking cookies.
I was initially going to fight this fight on my own, but now I'm glad I decided to tell my husband. He loves me, and will help me fight this.
