Well here's an update as to what's going on. We went out of state to visit my family, and while we were there neither of us smoked. He seemed totally fine with it and didn't even bring it up. I was definitely craving cigarettes, but since we were staying busy it wasn't that bad. We got home a couple days ago, and he immediately went to smoke. Before he could make it out the door we had a long, long talk, and he admitted (after a whole lot of tense talking) that he had been smoking more than he wants to for the past couple months, and he knows it's not good for him. He told me he would cut back and only smoke when we both agree it's a good time for it, which I was grateful for. He has been doing a good job of it and he's only smoked once since we've been home, at a time when we both agreed was appropriate. The morning after our "talk", he got up and started cleaning the house, and when I woke up he told me that he had signed us up for a marriage seminar at church starting Sunday because he wants our marriage to be productive and we need to be heading somewhere positive with our life. (Hallelujah!!) Anyways, at least we're moving in the right direction with this.
