Thanks Dee,
Some of us call it the "Big Book" as well. And you absolutely right, quitting because someone elso wants you too NEVER works! I think everyone should go through a 12 step program. It certainly will set you free. Living life on life's terms isn't so bad. I have managed to get through the death of parents, friends and cancer -never even thought about a drink. I had to wean myself off of fentanyl and morphine - took 2 days - not a big deal.

These painful times have turned out to be the most intense times of spiritual growth as well. More paradoxes - in death we are reminded how precious life is. We only have today -right now -how can we make it better?

To PackersLittleGirl - It's a lot harder to quit with other smokers in the house but it can be done if you are willing to go to any lengths to quit. It won't be long and it will start to smell bad (the word "stink" comes to mind) on him. Be patient. Craving comes and craving goes.

Tell your husband to check this site out. You may not be ready to look at this site yourself so I would caution you against it.
