My husband doesn't know I still smoke

I quit for a year, and he was so proud of me. Then my mom got sick, and I bought a pack "just for the drive home from the hospital." That was three months ago. Now I'm hiding it, brushing my teeth constantly, and lying to the person I love most. The guilt is crushing me. Has anyone else been here? How did you come clean and start again?

He knows and won’t say anything because he loves you. Just relax and ditch it when you’re ready.
