Today she started questioning me about getting over the pangs of quiting. I was however standing in the shower at the time.

I'm a bit ahead of her in the book. I told her I have not read that far. So, we are already talking about it and being a support to one another. I think she will be a tougher nut to crack in stopping the smoking only because she is excellent at finding what she thinks is a legitimate excuse to smoke. Once I stop and request she takes the smokes outside she will probably stop.

The thing to remember is that even if she fails at quitting that doesn't mean you have to as well.

Well, this books works for those who really want to stop and if shes always looking for excuses it does not seem like she really wants to quit.

Sometime you need to read the book twice for it to work though

She was reading the book yesterday when I got home. It has drawn her interest. I suspect we will quit at the same time and make life a bit easier working it out together.

Well, day 2 for my wife without a smoke. I stopped yesterday at 1300 hours. Doing well. No really bangs for nicotine. Already stopped coughing. I was working on chronic bronchitis. I had the classic symptoms for bronchitis. Within one day the tightness in my chest, coughing and spitting up gunk is gone. Amazing. The smell of cigarettes has the smell that I remember over 30 years ago when I first started messing with the damn things. They STINK! I will be fine as long as there is no cigarettes around the house or work. I can prevent myself from buying any... I always hated buying them so now I'm motivated to really not buy them.

So far so good! The book McBeck recommended seems to work. Reverse brainwashing but a brainwashing for the best. In three weeks this cigarette smoking will be a thing of my past.
