I do, don't I? You'd be surprised!
Nah seriously, what can you do but do unto others? I'm no believer, but that statement for me has always made a whole lot of sense. When it gets too much and I'm about to lose the rag with her (whether it's justified or not: being called at 5AM and then 6:30 AM to help her use the toilet stretches my patience just a little!) I always try to put myself in her place and think, well, if I had this how would I want people to treat me? Usually works to cool me off and often make me feel just a little ashamed. After all, she has to cope with the damn thing, I just have to look after her.

i recommend having lots of chewing gum on hand, mint-flavoured toothpicks, and maybe one of those squeezy things for building forearm strength. and don't forget that kissing a smoker is like licking and ashtray, you stink like an a**hole on fire, and makes you less able to run like a cheetah. good luck circe. it's an admirable thing that you're doing.

I believe a lot of people use jelly babies as a substitute. Just a thought. And I echo Zevokes' sentiments...

I was able to quit smoking 2.5 years ago after numerous attempts. I smoked roughly a pack a day for about six years until I gradually (very gradually) cut back to about 5 cigarettes a day. My turning point was when I suffered from a pulmonary embolism at the age of 23, which resulted in surgery. Dropped cigarettes from my life the day before the surgery.

I have only smoked several occasional cigars since.

I honestly thought I'd never quit.

Let us know if/when you need support. And buy some jelly babies! Nothing quite like biting the heads off little gelatin people when you're struggling with those cravings, I would think!

I used sunflower seeds to get over the worst moments and I found that definitely helped. I wish you the best of luck though, once you've got a handle on it you'll feel great, but it's a tough climb to get there. I mean hell even if you can get to the point where guys like Zer0 and myself are at, where we can just smoke when we're out with friends (and even then it's only sometimes) then you'll be doing better than most.
