  • Happy Thursday...just one more day! Well, it has been 1 week and two days since Michael quit. It was touch and go, especially on Sunday as we were doing something as simple as grocery shopping. We fought over what to have for dinner that night...GOOD GRIEF! He had a problem with EVERYTHING!


    I feel bad, because I do to a certain extent, understrand why he's so crabby. But I must admit, I  get upset when he blows up at the littlest thing. I ty to put myself in his place(Now THERE'S a scary thought!), but  never having smoked, I can't really do it. So I am trying just as hard as I can to be understanding and just to be sure...I stay out of his way as much as possible! I should be more understanding...I guess I'm just a horrible person!


    Love and Brightest of Blessings,


    Amethyst

  • You are not a horrible person.  Addiction and the withdrawal from it can be a very physically painful experience.  It is not fun to be around. 

    When he blows up about the little things, look him in the eye and then lose focus as if he were disapearing and then gone from your view.  Walk away as if you were not talking to him and suddenly remembered you had somewhere else to go. 

    He will notice that he just ceased to exist and think about his actions that caused that. 

    There is a proverb that says a soft word turneth away wrath. 

    Well I have found that acting as if an unnecessarily rude person just ceased to exist is like cold water to their face.

  • I can relate 100% and then some.  Hubbie and I quit smoking at the same time and we were a pair to be around I tell ya!  It will get better. 

  • You are not a horrible person...Hang in there...he's through the hardest part now...I think...I hope 

    Also thank you so much for the loving words re: "The Disapperence" post...all the love that has been poured forth to me on this post has helped the healing in more ways than I can ever express. I'm shocked that anyone even read it...

    Thank you!!! Bright Blessings to you too lady!

    I so do not ... but ... I will have to someday ... when I quit quitting ... hug him and hold him and kiss him even when he is being a porcupine ...

    And YOU are not a horrible person.  You are wonderful ... wonderful wonderful.
