Julie, I've suggested every alternative I can think of, hynosis, the patch, the gum, herbal remedies, prescription things that let you smoke but release only nicotine not tar, etc.
He's stonewalled me on all of them.
He just IM'd me a second ago.
He apologized again.
I told him, look...let me put it like this.
"You have an upset tummy."
Every time I see you, I punch you in the stomach."
His response? "I'm sorry, I'll try harder."
I said: I'm begging you, please just go cold turkey. what you are doing is making me miserable and isn't working.
He hasn't responded.
I'm feeling depressed and powerless about the whole thing.
I feel like all I can do is stay far enough away from him that I don't get sick...which is at least 5 feet.
