I think of us as the couple version of James Spader and William Shatner in Boston Legal, where they rehash the day while smoking a cigar, except we're married and we have a cigarette.<br /><br />Is it bad for me? Sure. Am I ready to give it up? Not yet. And I'll be 34 on September 11th! I had no clue our b-days were so close to each other!

He's tried so many times, and just hasn't been able to. I often get the whole lecture when I pick him up cigarettes, with people demanding that I should insist that he quit, or they accuse me of smoking (I've never smoked), or they get really rude and nasty. I believe that he'll quit when he's ready, and me being on his case certainly won't help. <br /><br />Take it one day at a time. :)Scatteredmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07605640876979580340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-54963647023322454912009-08-21T11:02:15.137-04:002009-08-21T11:02:15.137-04:00I was in the same situation.

I loved having a 'smoke' when I drank but then that turned into having one after I ate and then that turned into having one when I got up in the morning and before I went to bed...the best thing I EVER did was give it up. I feel better physically and mentally.<br /><br />Good luck to you.
