[QUOTE="Suz, post: 272506, member: 29"] The truth is, he will only quit when he's ready to quit. I smoked for 38 years....2 packs a day for the last 20. I knew all of the things that made it bad for me but I was completely addicted. I loved everything about smoking...fiddling with the cigs, inhaling, ah......I miss it to this day. I quit August 11, 2002 after flunking out of every single kind of stop smoking program ever invented at least once...and many twice. I finally just had to do it- for my health, and also because I knew I'd be getting a divorce and would need to return to the work force and didn't want to have to deal with the hassle...or the expense. When I finally quit I used the patch and all kinds of techniques I'd learned from the programs I'd flunked out of. I used the rubberband snap on the wrist from one program. I "smoked" straws when I needed the feeling of inhaling. I signed up for [URL="http://www.quitmeter.com"]www.quitmeter.com[/URL] and checked it every time I was craving a smoke- sometimes that was every 5 minutes! I kept a pack of cigs in the closet for 6 months. It helped me to know they were there "in an emergency" and it was terrific to finally throw them away. And, like Trinity, I told no one. I hope your husband quits but there isn't a dang thing you can do. This is totally up to him. Suz [/QUOTE]
