Day 10 - Quiting with a partner who is smoking

83.6 Kilos

It's Getting better all the time. Yesterday was a fun day with a Sunday pool party at the Gola's place on lake of Garda. One guest was telling me the story of a couple where the wife quit and the husband did not. She was climbing the walls. Things were getting ugly and the 6 year old daughter was loosing it as well seeing her parents fighting. It took a few weeks but finally the hubby came around and decided to quit as well so everyone lived.....

Serena is coming into town with Fernanda, her friend from Florida, (see photo above) today and I am going to guide a sightseeing afternoon. I hit the gym this morning and managed to run some errands.

Serna, and Fernanda came over for dinner with Giuseppe. Serena immediately lit up and I asked her to smoke on the balcony where I left some ashtrays. I only now begin to appreciate how I irritated non smoking friends leaving butts in their garden or smoking on there terrace with the door still open so half the smoke blew back into their house.

My ciggy-bank is getting fuller. I will take it to the post office on September first and see if I can buy a cigarificat of deposit.

Still get lots of cravings but I find them easier to control as each day passes.

There is a real advantage to quitting in summer because you can spend lots of time outside and enjoy walking, biking and swimming.
