Hubby Is Quitting!

He made the appointment and saw the doctor yesterday...he's quitting smoking!

Very Happy

I am so excited. Not only for him but for me and the baby as well.

He was prescribed Chantix to help him quit since he's tried numerous times and hasn't succeeded. He is convinced it will help so whether or not it does actually help, I think just thinking it's helping will help. If that makes sense.

Anyway, that's all. I just wanted to share the good news. I have been smoke free for 6 months now and it will be nice to not have to smell him anymore when he goes to kiss me after a smoke. (All you ex smokers and non smokers who live with smokers know what I mean.)

Congrats Bella and hubby!

My hubby quit just before our son was born. It's a great motivator. He hasn't smoked since. I hope it works out the same for you.

Happy news!

You know to be very, very patient? Of course. But you've never been patient-while-pregnant before.

Buy him some Silly Putty to give him something to fiddle with.

Bella - I have two friends that used Chantix to quit and it worked within the first two weeks for both of them.
I think this is the best thing to ever come along for smokers wanting to quit. I read about it, and it works on the brain rather than the body like the nicotine patch.
I'm sure it'll work for your husband.

I wish him the best of luck - I future child is great incentive. My mom quit smoking before my first child was born because she wanted to be the care giver while I was at work. She had smoked since a teenager and I never thought she would quit!

Just wanted to come on here and vent.

He is driving me I N S A N E.

I know it's hard to quit but we aren't even one full week into it and already the snapping, meanness and general "get the hell away from me" has begun...and with this pill you don't even have to QUIT in the first week. Rolling Eyes

I haven't said anything to him, of course, because any progress, even if small is progress and I don't want to derail him.

But I swear he makes me feel about 2 inches tall sometimes. I know a lot of it has to do with the hormones surging through my body and I try to keep that in perspective.

But seriously, do you have to act like I suck ALL the time? Or that it's such a HUGE chore to speak to me???

Ok, now that I got that out, I can feel a little better about it. And now I can go take some more abuse without breaking down and flipping out. It will be worth it in the end. I know that.

Hormones, schmormones, he could be nicer. I don't care if he is going through withdrawal.

Hang in there, girlie.

Bella--

You have my sympathy.

So does your husband.

Hold your dominion.

An intense aerobic workout scheme will cool your husband off and help to relieve the withdrawal stress. Laughing

I'd go ahead and smack upside his smoke-free head.

It's his monkey to wrestle with; you still deserve to be treated with respect.
