Hi, someone suggested your thread to me. I've only read a little so far. You have given me hope.

Re your H's smoking. I used to smoke. Yesterday was one year of being smoke free I got hynotized. It took me two times but it worked the second time. My parents had both smoked for many years and they were also hypnotized and have not ever smoked again. The first hypnosis, I never told anyone I was doing it and I was pregnant at the time. Don't know if those were factors really or not. The second time, I told everyone I was doing it and some people were skeptical and I thought "I'll show them". And I think I have Just a suggestion. Don't know if your H will try it or not. Oh, I also try to reward myself on each monthly anniversary.

My WAH also smokes and it's actually been nice not having the smoke in the house for six months. Of course, I'd put up with it to have him back Then I could work on him to quit He wants to quit as he recently lost his father to complications from smoking.

I'm so inspired to see that you have gotten your M back though. I will take the time to read through your older threads. Hopefully they will provide me with some direction. If you feel like it, check out my threat in Separated.

Good luck

Julie
