I'm glad you're back Ellimae! Betrayal is one of the hardest things to get through. I can't say you'll get over it but you CAN move on! Someday, forgiveness will overwhelm you and you should give it with no strings attached. I know it's hard right now but all the pain you have in your heart, you should give it to GOD and let Him guide you. I know nothing of the betrayal of a spouse but I was betrayed by my best friend and it was grave. I never thought I could forgive but I did and time heals all wounds. Yes, they are still there but time will heal you. Congratulations on your upcoming QUIT! You can do this girlfriend!

I thank you all for the kind reception and the words that speak to my heart. I have taken a new step and set my quit date to the day after my stepdaughters graduate from high school. I have raised them from the age of 8 and 10. They are as much of my heart as my 11yr old. I am taking it one day, one situation at a time. My husband still lives here until July 1st due to financial problems. Sometimes its hard to get my balance back after learning how deeply his betrayal goes. Anyway, thank you all. My quit date is July 14th. I know I can do this. Bubba if you are around still, you knew me by another name and you helped me tremendously. It was while searching for someones address that I saw yours and thought about coming back before this smoking is too out of hand.
