Anyone else live in a house of smokers? 

I get them for Mrs boosh and am often with her when she's smoking merrily away. It doesn't make the quit harder because I took the view that I will find myself in lots of smoky situations and it's simply not feasible to avoid them all, I'd be running forever. No, I want to laugh in the face of a ciggy box with no temptation to have one. I'm winning.

Mighty One, 

YES ! You ARE winning.

Your quit is ALL about YOU and your nicotine addiction.

Everybody else is secondary, every THING else is secondary.

You Quit Smoking !  You are a FREE person.

 

Our friend, Joel, has a good video about living with smokers

Definite respect mightyboosh -- must be trying on you but you are doing well.  And no when I quit I was the only smoker in the house (grandchildren were thrilled)!!!

My in-laws live above us, and they both smoke. My mother-in-law and I were smoking buddies, so I had to avoid her like the plague when I first quit. The hardest thing for me has been seeing their packs of smokes laying around. (I used to smoke the same brand and would bum one from them occasionally.) I feel a tiny twinge every time I see an open pack on the table. It's getting easier to resist over time, though. And I absolutely refuse to buy for them. It would be way too tempting for me. But I don't give them crap about continuing to smoke. (I let my husband do that!) I know when I was smoking that if anyone gave me a hard time about it, it just made me want to smoke more. I keep hoping my in-laws will quit, but at this point I don't think it's ever gonna happen.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
