I love my wife dearly and I know she loves me, but I've smoked since before meeting her and she never has nor ever will. I have attempted to quit numerous times in the past but have always slipped back to picking up the cancer sticks again... at this point I still want to quit and am trying again, but after so many ups, downs, and broken promises I know that it's hard for my wife to "believe me".
I'm not saying she has reason to after all the times in the past that I have tried and subsequently failed. But what I'd like to ask others out here is how do you feel I can get/keep her involved in my quit? I ask her to help and support me and she poses the question back to me "How?". Beyond having her ride my a$$, which I'd be more than willing to have her do at this point anyway, does anyone have any advice on how to keep a non-smoking spouse involved and, hopefully, give them hope that maybe this time could be the last?
I can't fault her for being inherently skeptical and I know she wants me to quit, but after my previous failed attempts I admittedly feel like I'm starting to have to do this on my own since I don't feel like my wife can give me 100% of her support. If any quitters out there have any advice I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
