Well I just got my kit and my husband called me at work to say, "This box arrived and says $4?? us dollars! He yells that this will be my anniversary gift and hangs up the phone on me. Wow! I never get anything for my anniversary anyway and I quit smoking 7 months ago. What do you think? I feel so unsupported at home and now this.

Hi,
I just got the package and started this week. Even b4 I got this package, one thing I have learned. I cant control what people say and do. My wife also doesn't care. The difference this time, is that I care. I am tired of living day to day. I have three children that need their father. I did not celebrate my 17th wedding aniversary. Personally I wish I could leave... but when I leave somehow I allways follow. I am hoping I can change my thinking. I have isolated my self for long enough. All o can say is hang in their. I have not read and listed for long.. but seems positive thinking will help. Concentrate on the good things i guess.

Tell him once he sees how much it helps he'll be willing to pay twice that much and PROVE it to him. Use that as motivation to get better!

Although my husband supports me in every way, my dad is a different story. He's not critical, but when he asks if I still take my meds and I tell him no, I get the eye rolling. It's hard, but it's my decision and I choose to not let it affect me. It sounds like your husband is speaking purely out of ignorance. If he is not willing to learn about what you are trying to do, support from him may be impossible. But take heart, this is for you and you alone. YOU are your support. He can't change you, you change you. Have faith in YOU!!

Thank you for the encouragement. That night when I got home from work my husband ran to the door and blurted out "I was wrong". I was ready for an argument and instead I got support. He is going to support me. Thanks again

How awesome is that? How cool!!

I just got mine opened up last night. The one thing I worry about is the amount of time. It's hard for me to find the time to do things like this. And the thought that I have to listen to a relaxation tape every day forever for some reason freaks me out. I think I should be able to just be "normal" but all of these thoughts are negative ones that I need to work on fixing!
