Story time- two days and counting

in #story6 years ago

So this weekend was a tough time in the Goldencookie household. My husband who is/was a smoker decided to give up this weekend.

Not the best time I might add, because we had to wake up early for a meeting with a migration agent (who didn't even show up for the meeting), drive through traffic and confusing roads (even the GPS was confused) and all this while he was suffering from the effects of nicotine cravings.

Let's just say that for everything that went wrong he was pretty grumpy but tried really hard to put on a brave face for me.

By lunch time Saturday, he had been without anything for almost 15 hours and was in pain from withdrawal. So being the wife that I am, suggested that we go to a tabacco shop to see if they have any nicotine free vapes. That way he could trick his brain into thinking he is smoking but still stay off of the cigarettes.

My plan worked, his cravings would subside a bit but obviously it wouldn't stay gone. This morning I realized that he has gone to work without the vape... He's already on edge, seeing what will happen when he gets a coding error will be interesting.

I wish his laptop, and his colleagues good luck.

Thats a tough thing. It takes a total rewiring of neural pathways in the brain. And initially it can be very painful. The cravings and withdrawals.

But he can do it and prayers for him and you @thegoldencookie in getting through this tough time
