its my own fault for not saying anything so i can't blame them but my housemates still smoke long after i quit. and it was fine for first few years but now it's getting into my dreams. which obviously is on my mind. and i know they would stop or leeave if i just put my fist down, but always trying to smooth things over and be accomidating as i am i let it slide.
The good about it all is you just have to sit people down and be stern with em. look this is how it is and you either need to be considerate of my feelings and the goals that i want for myself or leave. might sound harsh but it's your life. to others they look at sobriety or trying to quit as a joke sometimes and don't realize how serious you are until its a do or die situation.
after awhile you will actually enjoy not having a foggy head. and love being in the moment, i still hike, go to the ocean, walk around town with my ipod. get a cup of coffee.....and i don't smoke while doing it (which i thought was never possible) it's retraining your brain. i'm sorry theres no quick fix, or simple answer oh god how i wish there was for everything 
personally i have nothing against the stuff but when it starts compromising your health and consuming your life....and especially when those thoughts enter your head...maybe i shouldn't be doing this that's when you know you need to take a long extended break- as always the easiest way for me to stop things is looking at it like this isn't the end, i give my brain the pleasure of saying this is only a small break not stopping all together and it helps with the anxiety of a dear friend departing forever, and then when i get stronger i tell myself this is it! and i can handle it better
