Just popping in to say hello again!

Hello Indi, and everyone else on this board.
I feel a bit like the cat creeping in and out but as I explained to
Pam before xmas I had to give priority of the computer to the two
daughters for studying but things are a bit better these days.
I am still busy with work and will be for the next three months but I
will make time to get back to the site most week-ends.
So just an up date on my quit and how it is going……
The last time I spoke to you all I was having a bad time accepting
having another smoker in the house [ Nov time] I did a lot of
thinking and did an ABC and read it over and over till I didn’t need
to read it any more… [ I will post it sometime over this weekend
for you all to Tweak and make suggestions] but I have to say even if
it is not accurate, it has worked really well for me and I am happier
than I have ever been with this situation. [ yes I would love my
husband to quit but I don’t rely on it anymore]

I am actually sitting in the same room with a cigarette burning in
his hand right now and I can honestly say I am feeling very calm and
don’t associate his smoking to my quit anymore.
I also found that I had cravings everytime I returned to school from
having a break[ just for a few days and did an ABC around this issue
[ I’ll post that one too] I have to wait till february till my next
break to see if I will react differently but I have the ABC prepared
and lots of time to think about it.
I will post again at the week-end.
so till then
bye for now
sue

    Hey, Sue, great to hear from you and to hear that you’ve done so well
    with the Husband Smoking issue. Great job!! I’m looking forward to
    seeing how you handled it. I run into so many people in the same
    boat (SO smoking).

    Hi Sue
    Good to hear from you and glad that things are working out - like you say
    even if your abc’s aren’t puuuuuurfect:) then who cares so long as they work
    thats all that counts.

    The very fact of just thinking in a different way is a big achievement in
    itself so well done. I’m with Cat not sure if I could do it if my DH smoked
    so you are one very strong lady and must definately be DETERMINED to stick
    with your foundation statements.
    Maybe catch up at weekend if not look forward to reading your abc’s.
    Indi
