So, some of you may remember that my husban is quitting smoking, 2 weeks after me, but not using anything other than....
A smaller number of cigarettes! LOL, I slept in this morning (finally) and arose and decided to take out some trash (trust me, that's not my preferred action upon awakening, but I smell better now...) only to look at my husband, staring at me guiltily and having carefully throwin *something* out of his hand. We had this exchange:
"Oh, so you're smoking again?"
"Do you see me holding anything?"
"No, but I can *smell* you, dude."
"Much justification/lying/final admission to smoking 4 cigs per day which may mean more."
Hahaha, my husband sternly informed me as HE was quitting that he would now "smell" any cigarettes *I* was smoking, and would become increasingly *intolerant* of such sneaky cigarettes, (I did dual use the first week or so).
What amused me was a) My decision to vape ONLY was in part, caused by the desire to keep my e-cig going instead of smoking at all, as I was so GRATEFUL I had something that HELPED, and I'd better stay on the wagon and b) If my husband was quitting, I felt it unfair to trigger him in that arena, so it really got me vaping consistently and firmly.
NOW, I could have totally used that to *justify* a cigarette, and as I turn to vaping only, it really is fascinating the ways I used to JUSTIFY smoking for a multitude of reasons, but I just laughed, and said, "Well, that probably means 8, BTW you don't have to lie about it nor do you NOT have to NOT smoke in front of me, I just don't care.... But let me know if you're ever interested in finding some better options."
He fled, in deep shame and sorrow, and I shouldn't be laughing about it, I mean, I know he's trying, he's just so hard headed that.... Well, anyway, he looked deeply interested as I licked a drop of e-juice off my finger last night and said, "Wow you can do that?" When I was like, "OH, yes, totally, want to try it?" he was all like, "Why would I want to do that?" So I think IMMA gonna leave all my ejuice out so he can taste test it if he wants, heck, I might "accidentally" leave my vape on his side of the bed tonight.
BUT, I am now doing this totally for ME, and I feel AWESOME!!!! I was like, "Anna, don't be lame, be the peaceful example for him." Later he said, "Wow, you must really have that thing working for you if you smelled it?"
Yes, goofy husband, YES, it IS working for me, are you not remotely interested? LOL.
