hubby hid a cigarette. - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Most of you know that my husband and I both quit together when he had his heart attack.

He fessed up last night about something.
His brother was over one day last week, and he left his cigarettes here. Before he came back for them, my husband took one out of the pack and hid it in the kitchen. He said he was just waiting for the right time, when he wouldn't get caught, to smoke it.

He pulled it out of the hiding place last night, and told me the truth about it. Then he crumbled it up and threw it in the trash.

dope fiend, I tell you. lmao

Congratulations to you both!

WOW!
I can't say as I blame him; there's so often I want one more than anything! It's HARD work, especially when everyone else is smoking around you. But, you know that! I'm just commiserating with him, lol!
Keep up the good work, both of you...

Shalom!

I have a neighbor that smokes in my building. The smoke sends me into crave-ville. Now when I hear them light up, I put vicks under my nose. It works wonders. Next time you may want to try that, or keep a tissue in your pocket with Vicks in it to keep the smell away. When they light up, go to another activity until they put it out.

I got the idea of using Vicks from a book on Criminal Science. They use it to hide the smell of blood and decay. If it works for coroners, I figured it might work for smoking, and it has really helped.

Hey, I heard that too! That is a good idea. I smoked menthols and whenever I smelled vicks and smoked it made me gag!
Guess I'm going out for some vaporub!
