How can I tenderly suggest to my non smoking husband to talk about his concerns about me quitting smoking truthfully?

[val_b]

I think my husband has a lot to say, he's a non smoker, his mother died from cancer, she was a smoker, i have 119 hrs without a puff. but sometimes I think he just waiting for me to start smoking again. I don't know if I am just over analizing his responses and enthusiams to my high and low or I just wanting him to be apart of a major turn in my life with more input. help.

I know this is an old question and it didn't get an answer at the time but I think this is an important question. It would be great to hear responses from the community.  What's your take?

I think non-smokers don’t understand the addiction and that it’s even considered an addiction because they have never smoked. They think we should just be able to stop and just not do it anymore, like a bad habit. No fault to them.  Just like I can’t understand a heroin addiction because I have never done it. They do say quitting cigarettes is just as hard if not harder as quitting heroin.  I didn’t mention anything to any of my friends with this quit because I have said I was quitting so many times but would only last a couple days.  I think they  will believe it when they see it.

He understands what happened with his mother. He may not have much faith in you keeping your quit because of that association.
