Thanks Joel. I have read everything you recommended plus some. On an intellectual level I know and understand everything I've read. When I first
stumbled onto this site it all made so much sense to me and just rang true - I wish I would have found it sooner. There are times, however, when
emotionally you just want to cry and blurt out feelings. I am very grateful for all I have learned here and believe it will make the difference and give
me the tools I need to stay nicotine free. Elaine

This post reminds me that I need to thank my wife, and do something nice for her.
She was supportive without being pushy.
She was patient.
She never made me make a choice. (I'll get to this in a second).
She backed off when I needed space.
She didn't back off when I needed help.
Contrast my wife with her coworker...
Her coworker's husband was 3 days into a quit, when she walked in, put a pack of cigarettes on the kitchen counter, and told him to either start smoking
again or get a divorce.
I can't think of something so horrible for someone to do. Yes, I imagine he was a bit of a pain in the posterior. I know I was. But should SHE have
given up so soon on him?
When I think of that, I keep thinking of my wife, and how wonderful she was to me when I was probably not so wonderful to her in those early days of the
quit. I pray that every ex-smoker receives that kind of support.

It seems that at the moment that we have a few
people who are experiencing negative reactions from others. I suspect a lot of people who made New Year's resolutions to quit smoking who have already lost
their quits are doing some pretty good rationalizations now of why quitting was a bad idea. Don't let others pull you into their rationalizations with such
nonsense. If you keep seeing smoking for what it was and remembering smoking the way it was in its entirety you will stay forever reinforced in your desire to
never take another puff!

I'd like to make a couple of quick comments to this, as it has been an issue as of lately.
1.) Know who to EXPECT negative comments from.
For example, when I told my own mother I had quit, she said, "Well, I tried everything to get you not to start. I told you so, I told you so. Now you
are finally listening to me." Need I say this is NOT GOOD to say to someone in withdrawal!
 HOWEVER, why would I expect anything else from Mrs.
Negativity? (No offense to mom!)
2.) [Most] other smokers don't want you to quit!
Admit it! You've been there... at some point in your smoking career, one of your smoking buddies quit and you secretly wished they hadn't of
because you have to smoke alone or now you are being forced to think about the issue, etc.
This is only a personal observation (always rely on the experts)
