Encouragement
Ridding oneself of tobacco is a daunting task and your partner deserves congratulations. In your role of supporter, you could recognize your partner’s efforts with a certificate or by sending an encouraging message by e-mail or text messaging... Why not?
Hanging up the gloves?
Make sure to not get angry or abandon your partner! Like all good coaches, help your partner understand that it’s possible to lose one round without losing the fight and that it’s good to take things day by day. Relapsing today does not mean doing the same tomorrow. What’s important is to not stop trying.
