Whine for the day: Feeling irritable, whiny, moody and grumpy don’t think it is craving related. I am having mild craves today but they are manageable with activity and staying busy. Back in the beginning I chose not to tell my husband I was quitting smoking because he is very critical when it comes to smoking. I never smoked around him but he knew I smoked of course due to the smell, but didn’t hide it from him either, just tried to be considerate of him being a nonsmoker. He believes anyone should just be able to just put them down and forget them. He doesn't get it is not that easy because he never smoked. He doesn’t believe it’s an addiction. Today I made coffee sat down at table to read blogs and relax while drinking my coffee. My husband comes in and looks at my computer and reads the EX logo at top where it says EX new way to think about quitting smoking. He rudely makes a statement that I didn't need to think about quitting I just needed to do it. Just put them down and forget them he says. SMH!!!! I told him I wished it was that simple. As he was nagging, I just rudely said thanks for noticing I haven't smoked in 53 days and it sure wasn't from his help or support. UM he didn’t know what to say then. You know deep down I get it with his feelings and smoking since he watched me destroy myself daily and struggling with breathing and know it was hard to watch. Just wish he would be more considerate, understanding thoughtful and supportive now that he knows. That’s alright though, because I didn’t quit for him I quit for myself. I know I will conquer this journey because I have found wonderful people here who give me the support and courage to move on. I can’t thank you all enough for being here for me. Big hugs!! Thanks just had to vent. Thanks for listening.
