Rusty- Thinking of you and identifying with blind rage that can come from an old, old marriage. We surely know all the buttons to push and dealing with the few and far between "mate hate days" is really hard still. I hope when the pain's too great, your husband will change the problem. Your quit has made him feel bad; he is the sinner and you're the saint. He can change that and join you in the quit,but his misery is not your fault. You know that. I'm sure this must have frightened you,too. Pray- you'll regain your peace soon. Fondly, JJ.

Rusty, Thanks for the lesson..........I know all too well what that 1 can do. I lost a 10 month quit in 04 by being stupid and lighting up what I thought was going to be just that one. 3 months later I was still smoking, but quit and found SSC and now I have been quit for a year. But.....you did not have another one, and another one, etc.....You are a strong woman. You are a mentor to us here and we love you. Don't let anyone ruin your quit for you. Stay Strong!!!! {{{{HUGS}}} G :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/6/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 376 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,535 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1316 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 51 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 52 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20

Awww...Rusty. I've been reading your posts for a year now. I don't know you face to face but I do know how wise and level-headed you've been and what a strong and dedicated quit you have. I feel sure this "episode" hasn't endangered your quit but instead, woke you up to something you haven't anticipated until now. This probably shakes up some people since you're a long time, faithful quitter here at the SSC. I know I stopped dead in my tracks when I started reading!.. but there's no law saying you had to tell us anything at all. I'm confident you learned something from it and we can learn from it too. Thank you for sharing that. You're a strong woman and I know you're going to be just fine. Now... Put on those walkin' shoes! That's an EXTRA two hours of Leslie for you young lady! :eg: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/2/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 380 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,614 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1356.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 40 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 31 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

Good grief, how did I miss this yesterday?!!!!1 Dear Rusty, Girl, you just broke my heart. I hate to think of you ever being pushed into a �blind rage.� Next time, take the cigarette, crumble it into a million pieces and throw it at your husband. You can stick your tongue out, too, if it will make you feel better. I have no worries about your quit. I know how hard you�ve fought for it and what it means to you. Not even a mate hate day is going to ruin your quit. Lots of hugs being sent your way. Hope things have settled down. Hugs, Hummy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/5/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 290 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 11,632 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1885 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 37 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

*grins* good for you on staying close. strength is not "being able to do it yourself", strength is knowing when you need help (and asking/accepting it). you are a strong lady.

LOLLY!!! When I saw this thread had moved up yet again, I thought "I'm going to get Josie to delete that whole thread so people will leave me alone!" But then I saw it was you. Oh my gosh, it's so wonderful to hear from you. I hope all is well with you in France. Love and hugs to you!

Sunshine, I have to tell you that was quite a shock for me, and I'm glad you saw it. I guess I really thought he would be relieved, but the fact that he did that made me realize that he really does see through all the pain to the value of my quit. Thanks! Rusty :)
