Since I havent had to think about this at all over the last several months, it hasnt occured to me.. But, out of the blue today it hit me...

Since I quit smoking,


What am I going to do after sex now?

Seriously, some may see that and think, oh she's kidding or, how silly is that... But I'm serious... My husband and I would make love, hold eachother for a little bit, and then I'd go out to smoke, and he'd sit up with a chew...

I know that its a ritual thing that I will have to break just like everything else, but I just got to thinking... Those were the best smokes ever.

Any thoughts??

I actually avoided sex after I quit for a while just like I did places where smoking was the norm for me. My poor hubby was so deprived. Like you, I just knew it would be a trigger for me. Fortunately though, it wasn't that big of a deal once I finally faced it. It was just like all the other times I would normally smoke. I had to go through that particular event and conquer my craves and then it was a non-issue. I probably thought about it afterwards, but I had already convinced myself that I didn't smoke anymore and that helped me deal with all of my craves.

As for those cigarettes being the best ones, well, I have been quit for so long now that I can't remember ever having a "best one" or even a good one. Hang in there sweety! You'll feel the same way before you know it!

First I have to ask what was he chewing after sex Question Question Question Second off the hopper is just keep having sex as it must work the same as the keep eating theory. Eventually you will say enough is enough and get back on track. By the way didn't you just split up and if so why do you need to smoke???? You have NEW SEX to contend with. Wink Sorry Guys and Gals that was just to much fun. Laughing Laughing

Enjoy the afterglow!!! Cool Oh Yes!!! Without the distraction of the smoke...it's more meaningful because you are sharing a precious moment of bliss.....instead of jumping up and sharing that moment with an addiction!

Just be one with your lover in the bliss!!! Smile
